I met Anna from Girl Meets Dress at the Next Women Dinner back in November, we had a nice chat and decided to do something together. After browsing her website, I chose to borrow this Proenza Schouler silk dress. It makes me feel like a Greek goddess / butterfly and I love it. It is not something I would have bought, but definitely something I will wear.
I don't go out as much as I used to, so it makes perfect sense for me to just borrow a dress on the rare occasions I go to some fancy do. I'd much rather wear a beautiful dress than buy one from the high street for the same price, knowing it will disintegrate after 2 nights out.
What do you think of hiring sites? Have you tried before?

J'aime beaucoup ce site. Une perle.
ReplyDeleteHmmn, I've never thought about such a thing, but it seems intriguing and you make a great point about high street dresses falling apart after a few nights of living hard. I'm intrigued!

PS--I was reading up on strategies for how to deal with negative comments on blogs and I came across the video you posted a while ago and it's extraordinary! It was so smart and witty. It lifted my doldrums day.
Waouh t'es sublime!
ReplyDeleteWow you look absolutely stunning!
ReplyDeleteI think it's a fantastic idea.
I think your blog is pretty fab, am adding you to my blogroll instantaneously!

Wow - what a gorgeous dress, it's such a great idea! I'd definitely consider using it! Cx
ReplyDeleteI really like your outfit!
ReplyDeleteI must say that I agree with you! I am a one-bag woman but dresses are a different matter. There are more clear-cut rules for occasions and such.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dress.
ReplyDeleteI've only ever considered the bag rental.
Although a friend of mine fell in love and consequently in debt after purchasing the bag she rented.
Out of fear of the same happening to me I have avoided renting.
Also, I always misread Proenza Schouler as Proenza "Shoulder" and expect to see a shoulder dress.
Every. single. time.
It's ridiculous.
I love the idea of borrowing a dress! It's great to not have to shell out loads of money to buy something that you may only wear 1 time and then it sits in the closet collecting dust or you grow out of it. By borrowing one it sort of makes the occasion seem even more special b/c you have this beautiful piece for one night...like Cinderella at the ball!
ReplyDeleteBtw...have I told you how great this color is on you ;)
I have never tried any of those sites but it sounds like a great idea. Love the dress!
ReplyDeleteLove the dress on you, the colour is so pretty. Reminds me of a butterfly in the last pic.

ReplyDeleteemprunter pourquoi pas...louer...je serais plus du genre à acheter... ou à accepter le fait que c'est bien au dessus de mes moyens...
