I just love this Ruche dress.
I wore it on Sunday to a housewarming party for my friend, Stacy.
I got her the below cookie jar at Pier 1 and filled it with these freshly made chocolate chip cookies.
Then I thought, "Well I might as well go all out with the stripes" and I threw on this dress.
The fabric is light and breezy.
I also wore it while riding my bike to another's friends dinner party and it just felt wonderful billowing in the wind behind me.
(No worries- I wore a cream slip underneath!)
I vowed to wear more dresses while riding bikes.
This was actually the dress I wore when I had my run-in with that farmer in Scotland.
(shudder)
But I don't hold that against the dress.
I guess random men like stripes as much as bloggers.
Do you ride bikes in dresses?
Don't you love how it feels?

Well, I don't ride a bike, so no dresses for bike riding either. But I do love the dress you're wearing!
Haha, like Sophie I actually don't ride bikes either (I'm afraid that would be quite dangerous given my level of focus and living in London!). So I'm impressed that you ride with dresses (and such cute ones at that!
yes, and I have a very similar dress :)

I wish I could ride my bike more often, but I live in a very un-bikeable area. I also wish I had that dress from Ruche! I've been admiring it for ages...
I wish it was cool enough to even ride my bike. :[ But seriously, why are you so cute?!
Well I don't have a bike to ride but I love that dress!
Love those stripes! It looks so happy, and I love even more that you found a jar to match. You're so adorable, Tiffany :)
And I've never ridden a bike in a dress - I don't even own a bike currently (because I live amongst hills)...but I will have to go to the beach one day and ride a beach cruiser in a dress just to revel in that feeling! :)
Ooh, I'm loving your striped dress and that's such a fun jar. I have yet to ride a bike while in a dress but you make it sound so fun that I might just have to give it a go. :)
I can't ride a bike :(
But if I could, I definitely would! In a dress!!!!
You look lovely in this little number, its a gorgeous dress! x
I always get a little nervous about riding a bike with a dress/skirt on. I'm much too afraid of showing off the goods lol!
haha, i guess that's true. :) that dress is adorable on you, and i love your housewarming gift - such a fun idea! i love the thought of riding my bike in a pretty dress. i have the perfect little bike for it and i always think girls look extra beautiful riding in dresses. unfortunately, it was always too cold to wear a dress in san francisco, and i rarely get to ride my bike in LA now. so sad! maybe someday i'll be able to try it. and sad we weren't able to meet up last week, but that's alright. i'm sure i'll be up again soon. we really want to take a week and just hang out in sf, without any other agenda than to see friends, so hopefully that will be in our near future.
i wanted that exact same dress but they were out of my size. man, we could have been twins! ;)
Have you heard of the 'Skirt Bike Ride'? Cup of Jo posted about it awhile back: http://joannagoddard.blogspot.com/2011/07/riding-bikes-while-wearing-skirts.html
I don't have a bicycle so I'd ahve to say no that I don't. But I love the look of a lady on a bike. And I'm just head over heels for your dress! It put an instant smile on my face :) xoxo
Ok I'm totally smitten with your dress. And you wear it so well too!!!

I have a dress like that and I so love it!!!
I've only done it once or twice, but there might not be anything better than biking in a dress! Or maybe it's actually you with that matching cookie jar-how adorable!
I love ruche! and the dress looks great on you. But lets see ride a bike in a dress? Maybe if I had shorts under, and if I had a bike. haha! I'm a new follower! Hope you will follow back.

What a wonderful combination, Tiffany! The dress looks so beautiful and fresh on you, and the striped jar is a great presi...
Dresses and cycling do mix well, I find - unless they are too short or too long :)
I like so much your blog. Come and check out out mine.

I don't really ride bikes, but I do love that dress!
Cheerful colors~you are so well coordinated, Tiffany!
I would only ride bikes when i go to the countryside, the city is just too scary ~Eeeeck!
i love your dress! and yes, i like dresses when riding makes it all more fun :)
I love the dress on you--don't let some crazy guy ruin how great it is!! And I think it's awesome that you took your friend the jar filled with cookies. Yay for friends like you :)

Jeezo! Scottish men are the worst at approaching women, I went years without a date! You are beautiful and exotic - that's where I went wrong.
If I had a bike, I would totally ride it wearing dresses. You're just so cute in this dress with matching cookie jar!
If I rode bicycles I would definitely wear more dresses, seems so much more graceful. This is such a pretty dress; who dun like a good striped dress?
I have this dress too! You are daring to bike ride in it! Its so breezy lol I love that you paired it with a simple white cardi.
