When I first heard that I was invited to a black tie event over the holidays, I had a hard time justifying $400 on a fancy dress that I would only wear once. I ended up settling and wearing something I didn't really love, only because it fit in my budget.
I'm sure I'm not the only person who has run into this situation and with all of the spring and summer weddings coming our way, I can only imagine the kind of money I am going to spend on more dresses (wear something twice? I think not...). That being said, my fabulous friend brought to my attention this amazing website that allows you to "rent" designer dresses. Herve Leger for $200!? Haute Hippie for $50?! Not only do they give you amazing deals at this website, but shipping and dry cleaning are free too. And if you are anything like me, wine will inevitably end up on your dress at some point during the night, so why not spend $5 on the "stain insurance". It really is amazing....

Amazing....
Current Inspiration:
If you all remember correctly this is the dress from the opening scene of Sex and the City 2. This dress is now on sale at Bloomingdale's and if it is on Rent the Runway you better believe I will be wearing this ASAP.
Dress: Halston Heritage $325
Currently Causing My Temporary Insanity:
My credit card bill just came and guess what's on it? If you said my so so dress from the black tie party, you're right! TG for Rent the Runway.
Side Note: Lets' give credit where credit is due. One of San Francisco's finest, Ms. Laura V. introduced yours truly to the site. Now my credit card can breathe a sigh of relief....
