Oh, please, that girl is going to return that dress and go buy crack. Y’all are so naive!

@Andrea, you made me giggle. “…poverty stricken $500 dress budget.” Heehee.

I used to work with a girl to which money was no object. One day she was bragging on and on about a $950 dress that she bought for a wedding and only wore for an hour and only wore once. I said something along the lines of, “wow, that much for a dress.” To which she replied, “you know what it’s like, when you fall in love with something.” Yes, yes I do. I have more shoes that I’ll ever need to wear in year, I buy earrings and lipstick by the handful HOWEVER when I see a $950 price tag, I fall out of love pretty quickly. I don’t even hurt for it, it’s just too expensive.

But Anne is right, in NYC, it’s expensive to keep up.

Naomi Campbell should learn a lesson or two from Mary J.

Yeah I’m a bit “o….rly?” about this story because sure it’s nice and all but the “I know what it feels to not have something you want” sentiment would be better spent on those in true need who can’t get A dress, nevermind the ALMOST 1000 DOLLAR DRESS they wanted. Does not compute. The girl could have just found something else that fit into her poverty-stricken $500 dress budget.

I agree with the above comments. It was nice of Mary to do that, but how much would $400 have helped a soup kitchen, or a homeless shelter?
Celebrities are delusional.

SARAH! I am so with you… If you cant afford a $900 dress, then you are not even the position of affording a $500 dress. I live in NYC and to you all who do not live here, you would be shocked at what the girls here will give up for a label item. IT’S INSANE!

My heart is not overly touched by this story and I hardly see it as being a good samaratan. The fact is, this girl was already set to buy a $500 dress. Reality is obviously not a huge issue for this girl. Replace $500 dress with food and rent and girl shopping at Diane van Furstenburg with family about to be evicted and then I’m on board.
