Seriously. Best idea EVER.
Rent The Runway is something I just heard about- Have you? Or am I just oblivious? Whatever the case may be you should check this out if you've ever wanted to don a designer dress, but don't have the $500-1,000 bones to shell out for it.
The gist? Rent designer dresses, jewelry and other accesories- Wear them- Return them. It's as simple as that. Sign up here and read more about how it works. I love the idea! I have no upcoming events to try this out on, but I definitely will when that time comes.It's awesome you can reserve a dress for a certain date.
From what I see, most dresses are $25 or $50 to rent, but can be about $250. Just depends what you're looking for. Also, if you rent ONE and rent a SECOND, the second is only $25 automatically. Pretty awesome, right?! Right.
Here are a few items I thought were particularly cute/chic:
I love lace. Period. 
Epitome of elegant. So wish I had an excuse to wear this baby.
Pretty, fresh and chic. 
Cute, flirty and I love that color blue. 
I WANT this necklace. LOVE. LOVE. LOVE IT!
I'd be curious to hear if any of you decide to rent a dress- let me know!!

I've never rented before but I think it is a great idea, especially for a special occassion outfit. Men are so easy - they can just saunter into any mall and get some sort of formal rental - gals don't usually have an outlet except for those awful bridesmaid dress stores!
(BTW, I know I'm behind the scoop, but L U V the new header and background!)
I would totally do that!!! I was always jealous of men and that they could just rent a tux.
im too cool for school, i would buy! lol, yeah right. the gown is gorgeous. maybe you shud just throw a elegant dinner so you will have a reason to wear it.
Never heard of it, but it's a neat idea! There's some similar stores where you can rent big name designer bags for like a week too.
I have never heard of this before. Actually I just got an invite from someone today, but I deleted it because I didn't know what it was.
Maybe I'll rent a fab dress for my 30th birthday party!
I've always been tempted! Maybe a birthday or very special wedding will finally get to me to try it out. I've only heard good things around the blogosphere about it!
