Ruche's new summer lookbook is out and this top is one of the new pieces in the shop (if you haven't checked out Ruche's lookbooks, you should--the photography is gorgeous and they often have great literary references). This summer, my budget has been really tight so I've tried to stay away from temptation (i.e. online browsing) but I was delighted when they offered me a sneak peak from the new lookbook and a piece of my choice. To keep it real, I went for this top, which was affordable and seemed versatile--and it's good quality and even more beautiful in person. And as you may be able to tell by my clean hair in the above photos, these pictures were taken pre-packing. I do not currently look so put-together :)
P.S. Extended swooning over Ruche thanks to my immeasurably huge desire to be lying by a pool in Arizona rather than packing right now :)

This outfit is utterly, perfectly you, Tania!
good luck with all the packing! i'm so thrilled for you + christopher, how exciting!
Yay! My favorite color combo - and with stripes?!! Yes, please, I'll take two.
And good luck with the packing - we're facing a potential cross-country move from two storage locations (separated by over 400 miles, mind), so I will definitely be feeling your pain soon.
That striped top is absolutely stunning! It's soversatile and the colors are really nice for summer and for fall transition.
Your post over on Sartoriography was SPOT ON. That's basically how I packed everything to move from Florida to Arizona when I had 10 days to do it (where, by the way, the pool is the only acceptable place to be...when I'm not at work). Good luck with packing--stay sane!
I think that top was the perfect pick! I can already picture you wearing it so many ways and always looking so chic and polished!

Love that top! And I really to try your DIY skirts one day - they look amazing and I could always use a new skirt!
Oh, I love this look. Looks gorgeous with the mustard skirt (best colour ever). I am trying so hard not to buy anything too. I'll just have a look at ruche for their beautiful photography ...

I think those wedges were crafted to be paired with your striped top and yellow skirt. What a perfect combination!

oh my, this is SUCH a cute look hun! I love that colour combo - and props on that totally adorbs skirt!!!
I hope that packing isn't drowning you right now... don't worry - it'll be over soon - and we'll be sharing a drink and a laugh in DC :)
I love the look. The shirt is gorgeous!
Hope the packing is going well. Hang in there! You will be packed and moved before you know it!
Love the color combination you have going on here! And those wedges are absolutely darling! Good luck with your packing!

I've never met a stripe I didn't like, so I probably would've picked this top, as well. Love your wedges!

I covet those shoes.
You look fantastic. The combination of bright colors and prints really pops.
I love the color of those stripes! I'm trying not to browse too much in terms of online shopping but browsing cute outfits from blogs like these don't help. LOL

Very cute outfit! I love the colorful combination. It's different than what you usually wear. And that top is lovely!
love the color combo! good luck with packing!
Oh goodness, I hear you on the packing/moving exhaustion. I'm moving to Northern Ireland in 5 weeks and still need visas, boxes in storage, packing,... arrrr!
Good luck in DC! You'll love it! Definitely take the train up to Philly while you're there, it's wonderful.
I am so impressed that you made that skirt. Cool! The top is lovely. Gonna have to check out the ruche catalogue now and experience the lust for myself!

So lovely. And the wedges? Dynamite!
I have those shoes! Love them!
Awesome color combination, Tania!
I must say, I really do like that combo of colors on you! I wasn't sure about it at first, but those super cute shoes really do pull it all together.
Have a great day!
