Holiday Party Style: Rent The Runway
Last weekend Blake and I attended a gala to support his aunt and uncle’s charity work and the theme of the event was “reach for the stars” …hence, this sparkly number above! Given that it’s not often (…like…ever) that I attend a fancy gala, I immediately went into panic mode while figuring out what to wear! One of my best girl friends uses Rent The Runway often for weddings and parties, so she recommended I give it a go. Also, who doesn’t want to wear a killer designer gown for a tiny fraction of the price?! I certainly do! Honestly, the rental fees are often a lot less than the cost of a new dress…which makes more sense for me, especially if I’m wearing this showstopper above (…aka a memorable + fancy dress = I probably won’t re-wear it to another event, especially if photographed in it!). Now that I can get on board with! …I can also get on board with the fact that I felt like a princess/beauty queen in this red number…so if I can relive that feeling of blissful confidence again, I most certainly will…and I’ll highly recommend it to you, too!read more
Shop more of my favorite RTR dresses below (psst…that first Marchesa gown?! I dieeeee!):
Let’s talk about this long cardigan, shall we? First, I should mention it’s on super sale…but only until November 15th! (During the Nordstrom Fall Clearance Sale). It’s now just $46, on sale from $78…soo…it’s a definite wardrobe staple at that price! Second, it is SO SOFT! As in, I was actually very surprised with how soft this sweater really is…so much so that when my mom came over to my apartment last week, I literally pulled it out of my closet just to have her feel it. Yes, I’m weird…but hey, this cardi is just THAT awesome (…and clearly thaaaat soft!). 😉
