Why Pay Retail?

I'm totally obsessed with Rent the Runway. If you don't know what it is, it's a website where you can rent an outfit for 4 days. We try so hard to find the right dress to wear to an event, spend $$$$$, and never wear it again (or force ourselves to wear it once more.) With RTR you can pick something special and they will deliver it to you-same day if you're in NYC! The most awesome part? They send you ANOTHER size with it just in case! They are great at explaining the fit of things ("narrow in the hips so go a size up if you're curvy") and you can even shop by occasion and body type. There's also an "Ask a Stylist" feature. After you sign up, they send you an invite a little while later so sign up soon so you'll be ready for your next big night! Now I just need someone to invite me somewhere...


This Tracey Reese jumpsuit would look amazing with serious heels and jewelry for an easy day to night transition.
Rent: $50 Retails for: $250

I don't know how great this Tibi dress is for my body type but it's beautiful.
Rent: $50 Retails for: $378

The back of this beaded Haute Hippie dress is the showstopper.
Rent: $100 Retails for: $695



A perfect summer wedding dress from Catherine Malandrino.
Rent: $75 Retails for: $495


There are also lots of accessories to compliment the clothes but I'm not a big jewelry girl and tend to throw on whatever is around. What do you guys think? Would you rent a dress?
