Cassidy, our October Ruchette of the Month, is the lovely lady of Things Like Skeleton Keys. We simply swoon over her remix-styling with this floral skirt, which is featured in our Summer Lookbook and our Fall Lookbook (an essential piece for both seasons!). She wears our lace top with a cute pink belt for a casually chic outfit and transitions it to a sophisticated evening outfit with classic black heels. Paired with vibrant flats, Cassidy creates another cute outfit with the perfect touch of color.

Take a look at how Cassidy perfects high-waisted skirts too. Paired with fall staples (colored tights, versatile button-up blouses, and affordable fall boots), she creates a casually fashionable look. Paired with our navy blouse (one of our favorite fall colors), black heels, and an essential handbag, she creates an effortlessly polished day to night outfit.

With the first chill of Fall in the air, it's time we began riffling into the depths of our closets, pulling out the boots we've missed strutting down the street in, the thick sweaters we can't wait to cuddle with and the scarves that dress up any outfit. While excited for the Fall season, with its changing colors, pumpkin patches and holidays, it takes some work transitioning our wardrobe from one season to the next. Taking cues from some of our favorite bloggers, the fashionistas featured below give us a peek into their casual fall styles.

Cassidy, from Things Like Skeleton Keys, always looks effortlessly fashionable!  In her first look, she paired our lace and tulle dress with merlot colored heels that would be perfect for a date night.  In her more casual looks, she wore our striped pencil skirt, and multi colored chiffon skirt with her best accessory being her adorable son Cohen.

Melina, from the Caffeinated Closet, pulls off a consistent green and black combination, wearing our striped mint top and button up blouse in her first look. To transition this outfit to cooler weather, she adds black knitted tights and brown boots making this outfit  perfect for running errands or meeting up with friends.

Tieka, from Selective Potential, paired our brown wedges perfectly with a fall printed dress and simple belt.  Not only is her outfit beautiful, but so is the natural backdrop she is posing in front of.

Our buyer and stylist, Mara, looks ready for a fun trip in our emerald top and frilly polka dot skirt. With a statement necklace, peep toe heels and vintage-inspired sun glasses, this outfits is a perfect blend of vintage shapes made modern with unique prints.

Rebekah, from Verdant Bents, added a lacy skirt under our blue and yellow dress to add some length and volume! Love this look? You can create the same look with our slipdress! We also love how she belted the dress and added a cardigan to her outfit.

I adore the way Ruche's items are packaged and since I couldn't bring myself to throw the pretty paper away, I decided to re purpose it!

Necessity being the mother of invention I found myself the other day with a gift that needed to be wrapped and I was out of wrapping paper.  I remembered the paper packages from Ruche I had been collecting and decided to decoupage the paper onto the small cardboard box.  The end result was a one of a kind wrapping paper that is all most a shame to tear open!  I'm glad I took pictures so the pretty package can have an immortal digital life long after it gets torn to shreds by the birthday girl. :)

Need:  After taping the box you want to use close, you'll just need clear glue, scissors, and a paintbrush

1. Order lots of pretty jewelry from Ruche and collect the paper bags. I used 3 small ones.

2. Cut off bottom of package where it is folded over.

3. Gently tear open at the middle seam until its completely separated.

4. Use paintbrush to spread glue evenly to cover one side of the box.

5. Quickly smooth the package paper over the package, covering the box and strategically as you can.

6. Continue until all sides are covered with paper, and let dry overnight.

7. After its dry, add embellishments and attach your card, and you are ready to deliver it!

8. So pretty, and a great way to recycle the pretty paper.

Mint is one of the trendiest colors right now and our customers can't seem to get enough of it.  We are absolutely smitten with this gorgeous pastel color!

Cassidy, from Things Like Skeleton Keys, dressed almost head to toe in Ruche for a nice relaxing Sunday.  From her dress to her necklace and shoes, her outfit is a delightful combination of sophistication and fun! 

Cassidy said, "Sunday's are my favorite days because mine are spent with relaxing, spending time with family, and enjoying the simple pleasures of life, like sipping chocolate milk in the morning, swooning over style blogs, and plenty of laughter and playing with my husband and our son.  My Sunday's begin with my little family getting dressed in our Sunday best and that sets the tone for the rest of the day.  If it's a really special Sunday, I will get the chance to go on a afternoon stroll with my little boy.  I love the ritual of strolling him around our historical town so he can "ohhh and ahhh" over the birds, clouds, and wave at the cars that drive by.  It makes me reminiscent of a time gone by, where mothers would push their babies in their chic vintage strollers on a walk through town, always dressed in their Sunday's best!"

Jamie, from Forever81, paired our Pleated Maxi Skirt with pops of bright pink, a lace top and a denim jacket.  This combination of mint and pink makes her summer outfit bright and cheerful!

Jamie said, "all summer I had been on a quest for the perfect maxi skirt, the qualifications for which were: 1. pleated; 2. pastel; 3. affordable. And well, I think I finally found it.  You'd think because pleated pastel-colored maxi skirts were in style this summer that it wouldn't have been hard to find one, but it was that third qualification that I was hung up on!  That's why I was so happy to find this little number from Ruche.  And not only is it pastel, it's my favorite of all the pastels, mint."
