And right now every penny counts (building our house, baby on the way...need i say more?). Throw in the fact that my body is changing and I'm wearing sizes and silhouettes I never thought I'd try on (empire waist just screams pregnancy, doesn't it? or at least foopah! wait is that a bad word? opps sorry!)... Well, I really can't justify buying myself expensive things right now! (You're welcome, Nate!)
Except of course this dress...which I literally wear once a week. And this one, in blue, that I wore to my gender reveal party! Both I know I'll wear post-pregnancy!

| I actually discovered this dress via a friend on facebook who wore it to her baby shower and looked adorable! The dress I had planned to wear from Lilly Pulitzer arrived a day too late...and in the wrong color! |
Thankfully, I've had some success at more budget friendly retailers like H&M, J. Crew Factory, Old Navy and Target. (No maternity purchases yet, just sizing up!)
But, to satisfy my Anthro cravings I've turned to Ruche - an online-only retailer that I recently discovered through some market research (on Anthro competitors nonethless) at work. I told you part of my job requirement was online shopping!
Ruche is absolutely adorable - it mixes the aesthetic of Anthropologie and the prices of Modcloth - and was launched by a newlywed couple who was having a difficult time finding affordable clothing that was "her" style!
I literally want to buy every dress on the site, and the shoes are so on trend I can't stand it!

| Pink Parade Ruffle Dress - $38.99 |
 |
| Stick Together Braided Sandals - $34.99 |
They even have bridesmaid and wedding dresses!
 |
| Bridal Collection |
 |
| Pink Roses Play Picnic Tea Set - $35.99 |
 |
| Melrose Mike and Butter Treat Tin - $17.99 |
Anyways, I couldn't resist sharing this new fashion find of mine...even if my loyalty (and paycheck) belongs to my beloved Anthro!
Are you a fan of Ruche? I'd love to hear about your recent purchases!
Have you shopped Ruche before?
