Tulle skirt and polka dots

I wore this silver polka dot cardigan and silver lined tulle skirt to our cake tasting appointment a couple days ago.

Cake tasting appointment, Bonnie? But didn't you just get engaged a month ago? 

Yes friends - exactly four weeks ago I was asking Watson, who had dropped down on one knee in the middle of a medieval French village, if his legs hurt and he needed an ibuprofen and should we call it a day of sightseeing.

Fast forward one month and I'm starting to get used to calling him my fiance, and we've decided to try to pull off a wedding by the end of this year. Which would seem completely reasonable to someone who does not read The Knot. Except 'round these parts vendors are already booking up through late spring 2014.

So last week we went to pick out a mother $%#@!#$ cake.  And the waistband of this skirt had enough stretch that I managed to stuff myself with three mini cakes without incident - champagne cake w/creme fraiche and strawberry filling, dulce de leche cake with a fromage filling & frosting and red velvet cake with a white chocolate/cream cheese frosting. Uh-MAZING.

And the skirt has earned itself a permanent place in my closet.
