spring looks for less.

Happy Tuesday! If you've been following my blog for a few months now, you know about my current spending freeze. With a few spring trips and weddings on the brain, I realize my best option may very well be Rent The Runway. I've rented more times than I can count, but with the spending freeze, I have barred myself from the site this winter--until this week, that is. Knowing that these dates are on the horizon, I thought it would be good to start plotting out and budgeting for my spring rentals--and to get your opinions on which ones I should pick once April rolls around!

{left to right --> top row: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 | middle row: 1 - 2  - 3 - 4 | bottom row: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4}


Here's where I need your help: I'll be in Miami at the end of April for a work trip, so I don't want to be too scandalous. In mid-May, we head to the Dominican for a family wedding. Again, this constitutes another reason to keep the necklines up ;) Since the second rentals on the same order are available at a discount, I plan on bringing one or two dresses and one fabulous accessory. {I'm hoping the accessory can work for multiple outfits--even beyond those I'm renting.}

Rent the Runway is most certainly the answer to my lack of wardrobe refreshment this spring. For the money I'll be spending, I'll still look current without breaking the bank. I just need your help in figuring which dresses are the most fabulous :) Many thanks in advance for all your advice!

  1. I really like the pink lace dress in the top row and the one shoulder coral colored dress, also in the top row. Really pretty spring dresses!

  2. I love the top row far right one. I love the one shoulder and the color. I also love the bottom row, number two in line. It covers up to the neckline to keep you out of the sun, but still super adorable. The bright colors will definitely fit for both Miami and the Dominican :) Have a wonderful Tuesday!

  3. For the work event and family wedding I love the blue dress on the bottom row and the pink lace on the top row! Both are classy and cute! I also love the lily dress on the bottom row and that would be great for S. Florida! Really all these options are great! Although I wouldnt pick the purple one on the bottom row because the shoulder cut outs may not give off that "covered up" vibe you are looking for!

  17. What a great idea - I've never thought to try this but will have to remember next time I have a fancy event. (They happen so rarely that I never have the right thing to wear and hate having to buy a dress just for one wear!)

    Love the lace one and the coral & white strapless one. Both the necklaces are gorgeous too!

  26. Ok I like Top row 4, middle row 2 and bottom row 2. I think bottom row two would be absolutely adorable on you!! (Oh and then save it to wear to our June blogger meet-up!!) - Katy

  27. I love that bottom #4 - that would be my wedding pick, and then for Miami I'd choose bottom #2 :)

  35. I love(!) the 3rd one in the top row! It's pretty, feminine, but not too out of place for work! And the chandelier earrings are great too : )
