Oh All The Ways You Will Wear...

If I say "modern with a vintage touch" you might think I'm talking about my wardrobe, but not at all! I'm talking about Ruche an online boutique full of sweet items worth drooling over. The clothes are really affordable and just simply lovely. Right now it is stocked with items that are classic but also "on trend." Do I spy heeled oxfords, ruffle skirts, and a houndstooth trench?
I'm very glad I check my e-mails and stopped by this site, for I was immediately drawn to two items full of potential.
First: let's all take a moment and swoon over this grey dream bag complete with chains and interchangeable handles. Now, I can wear it across the body and on the shoulder. And it is roomy enough to deal with me so I can carry my life in my bag...
This dress drew me in for a number of reasons: It's a more modern shape than is currently in my wardrobe and looked so versatile. I'm playing around with the buttons at the moment and these are just a few ways to wear it. When it gets cooler I can do much more layering to change it up even more. Oh the possibilities! See kids, clothes are like toys for grown ups...
Outfit 1 details: scarf- secondhand, sweater- Banana Republic Outlet, boots- secondhand, bag- Ruche

Outfit 2: dress- Ruche, everything else...oh, everywhere!

Oh wow beautiful finds! The bag is lovely and your booties are wonderful :) Annnnd the dress is soooo pretty, love the first look of it with the pink underneath!

Those booties are absolutely lovely. As is the bag and the dress, I must add! I like how you're playing with how to wear it, the pink dress underneath and the argyle sweater being my favourites. Those shoes on the side add a nice touch to the outfit photos!

That bag is truly dreamy. It's my dream bag... long straps, my very favourite colour... nice and big, gold hardware. Oooh I'm swooning. I didn't read your post properly because I was so bowled over by the bag, does Ruche only sell one offs?

Congrats on your stunning new acquisition :)

If clothes are like toys for grown ups... Then gosh, I or actually WE have too many. =D

And I think you make that dress work!

Mimi said...

oh the bag and the boots and the skirt are awesome.and the jeans dress is not bad at all too very changeable.

Nicole said...

You have amazing taste! I love the bag. Do you mind me asking how heavy it is when it's empty? And you've already thought of so many creative ways to wear the dress! Thanks for tipping me off to this store.

bronwyn said...

Well, I must say you got a lot of interesting looks out of that one little dress, very creative! They're all great looks, my personal faves would be the first pic, with the pink underneath, and the prize look is with the black top and long black socks. Well done indeed!

Katia said...

the dress... i like alot. versatile.
i want to say, i loved your post on 'who we choose to be'. it's so refreshing to hear something other than the usual.
at the end of the day, it's ourselves that have to put up with our bodies/hair/eyes/dress etc, so we should do what's right for us.

thank you for the post, it gave me a new way of outlook.

ps... i'm jealous of all your lovely shoes.
