Rent the Runway

Did you know that you can rent Designer Dresses starting at $30 at Rent the Runway?

I’ve had their site bookmarked for years, wondering when I would finally take the plunge and rent an elaborate gown for some fabulous event. As a fashion blogger, my needs extend to the day-to-day problem of perpetual wardrobe rotation however. I cringe at the idea of wearing an outfit twice (not to say I don’t wear staple pieces multiple times) so I was freaking JUMPING to the MOON with excitement when I found out about their recent Unlimited program. UNLIMITED. Yes. A word that get’s us excited!

The Unlimited program essentially allows you to borrow up to 3 items per month for a fee of $139. Options no longer end at formal dresses however. We are talking bags, accessories and separates!! RTW gave me a two months trial to give Unlimited a go and this is what I chose for my first run through.

Oscar de la Renta? Yes please. Always and forever. These earrings were my second choice, but I was not disappointed after receiving these impeccable show-stoppers. They are understandably clip-ons due to the heavy weight of each piece, but I found them comfortable enough for a 4 hours evening. The bling bling was well worth it.

This dress is SO perfect and fun for Spring! Happy first day of Spring btw. it’s a very preppy, clean cut with surprising little cut outs that give the a-line sillhouette some edge. I wanted to pair it with black shoes since the earrings I chose have black plating around the deep blue jewels.

I chose this bag because it’s not something that I would normally invest in. It’s a LUST-HAVE piece that seems to be the main point of a monthly wardrobe rotation. If I don’t see myself wearing it next year, why not borrow it for a month instead? $20 off your First Order!

The only drawbacks to this service is the wait for popular products… At one point I found a bag I LOVED that would not be available for rental until next year! While they offer you alternatives to placate your wardrobe demands, this may frustrate some shoppers who were looking forward to cushioning their wardrobe with those specific items.
