This past Saturday we attended a wedding reception for my friends' in Upstate NY. (The actual ceremony was the week prior and only close family was invited). I decided to rent another dress from Rent the Runway, since I loved the first one I rented (you can see that dress here). If you're not familiar with Rent the Runway, it's a site that allows you to rent designer dresses and accessories for a fraction of the cost.
Sign up for Rent the Runway using my referral link (free to join) and get $20 off your first rental!
We had to drive up early Saturday morning thanks to snow the night before. I decided to make headband curls, since I could sit with the headband on for hours in the car. I wanted to be comfy for the ride, so I changed in the bathroom when we arrived and did my makeup there as well. I was a little worried I'd look like a mess, but I think I pulled it together!
Used a coupon for $15 off + free shipping = Grand total: $60!
I've never heard of this rent a dress! I need to look into it. I don't even have to tell you this, but you look STUNNING. The dress...your perfect hair! Everything.
ReplyDeleteYou look GREAT! Love the curls and the GREEN DRESS!
ReplyDeleteI have heard about Rent the Runway but never seen any of their dresses. Classy dress with a fun touch with the exposed back! Loving your hair :) You and hubs look adorable together!

I am jealous of your headband curls! That was a great idea to wear it in the car. That saved you a ton of time I'm sure. And I love this dress, the back is so pretty :)
ReplyDeleteSharon, you guys are a power couple! You two always look so awesome together. LOVE that dress! It looks exquisite on you and the necklace.

Classy with a Kick
I get a little scared too ordering things without trying on. They have a nice guide though to how each dress runs...small, medium, large.
DeleteYou look great. going to have to look up the headband curls.
ReplyDeleteI have never looked at rent the runway, but I def will now! I love dresses with cutouts!

Awesome Sharon! I didn't know that place existed. Such a much better idea to rent for special occasions. Because, do we ever where that same dress again, huh?
ReplyDeleteyou look absolutely stunning in that dress! seriously. i can't wear dresses like that because my arms just look 10x larger haha

ReplyDeleteSharon this dress is such a beautiful fit on you. I love how it looks around your neckline and bust...(not trying to be weird) but it is gorgeous.

ReplyDeleteYou look GREAT! I can't believe your hair looks like that after a car ride with a headband. Mine doesn't look that good after an hour with the curling iron. Congrats to the newlyweds!
