With wedding season here, finding a dress to wear can be daunting. You want to look nice without spending an arm and a leg, but nothing at your fast fashion go to stores or department stores has what you want. Enter Rent the Runway. You may have heard of the site, but in case you haven’t, you need to know about them. The site has 100’s dare I say, 1000’s of designer dresses, separates and accessories that you can rent for 80-90% off the retail price. Yes, so that $2000 dress you were eyeing at Nordstrom, you can rent it for $120 at Rent The Runway. That’s a win if you ask me.

Cue the hot pink number I’m wearing above. LITERALLY CAN’T GET ENOUGH OF IT. Now, this is the kind of dress you wear to a wedding you know your ex is going to be at. Yup. As far as my favorite part of the dress, it’s a tie between the color (hello, magenta!) and the ruffle detail. Like, the off the shoulder trend, ruffles are here to stay for the spring/summer season and I’m all for it. It’s a noticeably girly look, but can still be sophisticated and “grown” with the right piece. And if you ask me, it doesn’t get more grown than this dress.
