The ability to rent couture dresses for 1/10 of the price... a dream come true!

Most women look at fashion magazines and watch runway shows and the first thought is the fact that one shirt will cost the same thing as this months rent. Another scenario is that there is a fancy event that you have to go to and you want to wear a really nice, high fashion dress but don’t exactly have money burning a hole in your pocket. I do the same exact thing and because we all can’t be as wealthy as Paris Hilton most of the time settling for a dress from Macy’s is what we do. I mean I am not saying that dresses from Macy’s aren’t fashionable but it would be amazing to be able to wear a real Chanel piece or a real Zac Posen.

WELL, I stumbled upon a miracle and an answer to all of our prayers! This dream come true is called “Rent the Runway.” This is something that allows you to wear pieces found on the runway for an affordable price. Their slogan is “Love. Rent. Return” and it is literally as easy as renting a movie from Netflix. The price to rent these outfits is 1/10 of the retail price ranging from $50 to $200 and there is a $5 insurance price if you spill something on it. AND they also send you TWO SIZES just in case it doesn’t fit. I’m not sure if this could get ANY better!

All I am saying is that this is a perfect way to look fabulous and rich without actually having a lot of money or just look rich until you make the millions you have always dreamed about (which I am planning on doing).
