The light was golden and the hemline, short
The lovely Ruche tunic pictured is offered for sale (by me) HERE!
This “dress” was a splurge as I admired it online and then impulse purchased it new from Ruche when I shouldn’t have *blush*. I learned a lesson about ordering online, as when it arrived I found it to be much shorter than I had imagined. This isn’t Ruche’s fault at all–I just saw it as a dress and moved impulsively without reading the details. 
(Click HERE to see the Ruche listing–since I saw it under ‘new arrivals’ I didn’t realize that it’s listed as a top–yes, I’m a dork, lol) I still think that it’s cute, but I’m considering offering it for sale as I couldn’t really afford the impulse purchase and it’s not what I mistakenly imagined it to be. Still, the color and embroidery are lovely, and it’s super cute as a tunic top. It still has its tags as I’ve only tried it on and worn it out once briefly for these pictures. I may be listing it in my shop, so if you’re interested, keep checking back or shoot me an email! This piece is a size medium, and I’m about 5’5″ (but wearing heels here). So, hopefully these pics can give you an idea as to how it might fit you. It has a drawstring around the waist, which sits a bit lower than an empire, but still higher than the natural waistline.
I hope to get back into posting more in the next few days, and commenting on your posts as well!

CUTE!! You are so adorable Tracy! Oh, and I love having you on my FB now! You are so much fun!
Also, I got the necklace. I will be wearing it online soon! And the brooch! Thank you! It is exactly what I imagined!!
just stunning! and I want that outfit. Tracy you are so talented! and beautiful!
easy to see why you thought it was a dress! very cute – I would keep it if I were you!
I love the beautiful color of the tunic, and you’ve styled it nicely with leggings!! You have to keep it!! Great shots too, very lovely
I really like this dress and how you styled it here with these leggings. Ah the magic hour, you captured it so well.
That dress looks gorgeous on you and I don’t think it’s too short – I vote you keep it. It’s too cute to sell on.
Thanks everyone! Maybe I should keep the tunic–it’s just that I wanted a summer dress and this won’t work that way..but maybe with some biking shorts under it it could work?
I love it Tracy. I’d keep it and I agree about the bicycle shorts. Or maybe some cute bloomers. Could you make some? I love the light in these photos.
Adding the leggings was a briliant move. Together, they make a great outfit.
Ruche has the same dresses as ModCloth and I find Modcloth dresses to be WAAAY short. Basically when it says how long it is, subtract two inches. Seriously.
That said, it looks darling on you. I just wear leggings under my short dresses
Cute outfit, nice dress!

Such a cute outfit!
Such a cute dress!
You are THE cutest in that last photo: so natural and just stunning! I’ll bet that tunic will work great in the winter with some layers. I can’t say picture exactly how though, but I am sure you will do a great job of putting that outfit together as the colder season draws near.
