I call it the "Grown Up Edition*" because generally speaking, in the past, I'd have purchased like about $200 worth of stuff that I didn't need due to the stress of planning a wedding (or, since we're talking about "in the past" it would probably be more like the stress of: money, exams, my sister, [insert dilemma here]). BUT in all my grown up glory, I did not buy something.
Instead I resisted the urge to spend a few hundred bucks on a party dress for my bachelorette party and instead decided to recall some useful information from a wedding blog I'd read recently. And it dawned on me that I should RENT A DRESS! I am going to rent a dress through www.RentTheRunway.com for the bachelorette. I then spent an hour or three going through the dresses. And I've continued to kill time on my break from work looking through the same dresses.
And since my posts have been kind of a bummer lately, I've decided to show you some of the dresses in the running for bachelorette glory:
 |
| Black Halo "Red Carpet Dress" $50 to Rent |
 |
| Mark & James by Badgley Mischka "Neptune Nights Dress" $50 to Rent |
 |
| Robert Rodriguez Black Label "Celebration Swept Dress" $50 to Rent |
 |
| Thread Social "Sapphire Fairy Tale Dress" $75 to Rent |
 |
| Vena Cava "Fit n' Flare Dress" $75 to Rent |
These dresses are all a bit out of my comfort zone - in that they aren't especially modest (apparently wearing a cardigan to your bachelorette party is somewhat frowned upon), and that they are waaaaaay out of my price range when it comes to retail. But for $50 - $75 to rent, I'm totally down. You get two sizes when you order - which is good because I've now lost about 18 lbs I don't really know what size I wear and also these dresses are designer shizz which means they probably run small. So, we'll see ... I'm going to keep looking, but I like the looks of these. What do y'all think?
* This blog post was up for over a week and I looked at it multiple times and never once noticed that I'd written "addition" when I mean "edition" ... I think my brain is turning to goo. Stupid bridal goo. Thanks for the editing, Daddy-o.
This is my kind of blog post. They're all great, but the red is my favorite, though wearing white to your bachelorette is something I've seen folks do and I like the idea.
ReplyDeleteLet's just be honest, Nicole - If I wore white I'd almost definitely spill all over it. There's insurance on the dresses ... but still - who wants to look like a clumsy (drunk) slob at their bachelorette??
