V neck dress, $496
Zara ankle tie sandals, $80
Dannijo jewelry, $175
Stella McCartney oversized cat eye sunglasses, $225
I say that because in college I rented two DVF dresses via Rent The Runway , little did I realize the cost of renting just one DVF dress equals the cost of purchasing one during a DVF sample sale...
Not to discredit the site. When searching for a killer outfit to wear to a major event that will be seen by everyone; hence, making you not want to wear the piece ever again... I get it. But for every-day functional pieces and designer jewelry? C'mon, that is just not practical.. If the piece is functional enough to rent or contemplate renting more than once AND you love it so much that you would drop 200 plus to wear it, then save up and BUY the thing already!
How did I afford my wrap dress? Sites like Retail Me Not provide discount coupon codes and links to many popular retail sites (I used retail me not for free shipping from Saks). Also, if you live in or near a big city, check online for local sample sales. I frequently peruse through sites like NYC Insider Guide and Madison Avenue Spy for great insider tips on sales, discount designer stores, and thrifty hot spots.
Happy Shopping!

My latest splurge..... because sometimes Rent the Runway does not cut it.
A maxi wrap DVF dress in Burma Rose print ^^^ Now that I have a steady income and no longer mooch off my poor parents, I feel entitled to purchasing a DVF dress of my own.I say that because in college I rented two DVF dresses via Rent The Runway , little did I realize the cost of renting just one DVF dress equals the cost of purchasing one during a DVF sample sale...
