HMOH tip #428: rent the runway (or aisle)

If you're not yet a fan or member of Rent The Runway (RTR), I suggest you try to get invited (email me for details). I like to think of myself as RTR VIP because my friend Ashley does their awesome Web design.  Today I got an email from the site that caught my attention:  Wedding Weekend Style.

RTR solves the age old problem of "having nothing to wear" - which for me translates to "having nothing I want to wear".  How does it work? First you browse through their A-list designers (those you wish you could rock but may not have the guts to splurge) and choose the outfit for you.  You schedule a delivery date - could be a wedding, your 30th birthday, or another special occasion -and your dress PLUS a back-up size will arrive.  Wear the dress, get a million compliments, don't worry about being tagged in too many FB pics (no one will see this one again) and then plan to put your dress in a pre-packaged mailer and drop it in the nearest mailbox.  They even take care of the dry cleaning.  A $1,000 Moschino will run you about $150, a $500 Helmut Lang only $75 - and you can probably guarantee no one else will show up wearing it!


Why not pick out a dress for any upcoming bachelorettes, bridal showers, rehearsal dinners or weddings?
