Blinded by the White

Skirt: Anthropologie Cloudless Skies Paperbag Skirt

Jewelry: The Limited

"Yours was the first face that I saw
I think I was blind before I met you
I don't know where I am, I don't know where I've been
But I know where I want to go." - Bright Eyes

Warning: Don't take pictures wearing a white skirt on a bright sunny day. The skirt will appear radioactive and will be so bright it might cause blindness. Given this, I find it ironic that the name of this skirt is the Cloudless Skies Skirt. It's better suited for cloudy skies unless you want to blind everyone within a 1 mile radius. Well, maybe I'm over-exaggerating a tiny little bit, but the point is this skirt's white, really white. Speaking of clouds, I felt like I was walking on clouds. I can't believe I haven't worn these sandals that much this summer. They have got to be the most comfortable shoes ever. Highly recommend!

I almost didn't post these pictures due to the glowy skirt problem, but my man was able to knock down the glowiness a notch or two. Thanks "man" for making me look slightly less radioactive. That's right, I'm talking about "the man" again (cue the nasty commenters). I guess now is as good a time as any to tell you who he is. As I'm sure many of you have guessed, he's my photographer. Yes, I know, we're so cliche'. I feel like I was blind before I met him. He's the cloud beneath my feet. He completes me. In case you couldn't tell, we're pretty cheesy too...and unbelievably happy.

If the pictures you and your man take together are indicative of anything....MAGIC! I wish you two all the best ;) I married my soul mate but we both believe there is more than one soul mate for everyone, and that sometimes even soul mates aren't meant to be together/make the best type of relationship! I hope your new magical relationship stays sparkly and allows you both to change and grow and appreciate/expect that for each other! Saskia

Btw I love that there might be an undercurrent of Artist and Muse? (and yes the Muse is an Artist, too!) Saskia

I think you two make beautiful pictures together and I hope and wish for that to carry over into all the other parts of your relationship as well. So glad you are happy.

Hi Bonnie! I'm catching up on my blog reading now that I'm back home from the hospital with the baby. I missed seeing your cute outfits and beautiful pictures! :-)

So sweet!

Also, love the shoes. I have a pair of Everbody heels and they are very comfortable, so I am glad to hear that your sandals are comfortable. Now I'm eyeing the same pair as yours in matte silver....

Yeah I knew it was that photographer guy from your office who offered to take some shots of you so long ago. And remember that time some stranger said something like you two needed to get together? Too funny. Congrats on all of your happiness! Oh, yes I agree, we need a picture of him!
