I admit it. I can be a bit cheap. I will never be one of those people that seeks out the really expensive pair of shoes that will last a lifetime. I am much more concerned with the here and now of fashion and that's why I am all about the 40% Ann Taylor Loft sales, Old Navy, and Target. I don't want to invest a ton in a piece of clothing because my tastes change with the seasons when it comes to fashion. This is why I am a huge fan of Rent The Runway.
With RTR you can rent a designer dress for a fraction of the price for a number of days (4-8 days total). Worried about fit? They even send you a second complimentary size so you can be assured it will fit nicely. Even better, you can peruse their website and see photos and reviews from other ladies who have rented that same dress. Need some bling? They even suggest accesories that others have rented with the same dress you are hoping to wear. RTR takes so much of the guess work out. You can plug in your body type and it will suggest what dresses suit you best.
So far I've rented a number of pieces from RTR. Here is a little trip down RTR memory lane with a brief description of each piece and my thoughts.
Air Force Ball 2014: I rented my most favorite gown I've ever worn for my first Air Force Ball. What better chance to wear a gown named "A Night at the Oscars" then this little number. Though you can't tell in this photo, I also rented some cute earrings that worked perfectly with this gown. If I remember correctly they were 5 dollars to rent but saved me so much time becase, really, what do you wear with a dress like this and where do you buy it?
