Rent the ... anniversary dress.

Another clothes / shopping post? Wait, stop rolling your eyes and heading for the red x up there. I need your help. I'll give you candy. 

I have been considering using Rent The Runway again, possibly for our anniversary dinner, for no other reason than life is short and I want to be pretty. 

case in point.

I have used them twice before, and I loved one dress, and liked the other.

My favourite thing about rent the runway is that people post reviews and photos, so you can see how the dress looks on a real person and not a model. Ladies post their stats, so I immediately try and find someone my height to better see the length of the dress. There have been several times that I have thought a dress was cute and changed my mind after reading reviews and looking at the photos, so very helpful in my opinion.

So what else is a girl to do but to ask for opinions? And if you think some of them are weird or ugly, and you have a lot of time on your hands a minute you should clicky clicky and look at the reviews with pictures to see how pretty it really is (or isn't, whatever).

Here are the front runners, in no particular order, though I do have favourites... and yes of course there are 15 'front' runners. 

one: Ali Ro Sweet Virginia Scoop Dress or if you're a baller
two: Erin Fetherston Blue Sea Mist Dress
three: Lilly Pulitzer Elisse Dress

four: Milly Poppy Fields Sheath
five: Eva Franco Ora Dress
six: Kate Spade Celina Dress

seven: Peter Som Dollface Scoop Dress
eight: Shoshanna Lost in Love Dress
nine: Shoshanna Dixie Ruffle Dress

ten: Moschino Cheap & Chic Follow Your Heart Dress
eleven: Z Spoke Zac Posen No Turning Back Dress
twelve: Robert Rodriguez Collection Sea Water Shift - I'm not a stalker, but Aliya rented this dress!

thirteen: Lilly Pulitzer Island Breeze Shift
fourteen: Lilly Pulitzer Joslin Dress
fifteen: Shoshanna Citrus Tribal Flare Dress

I absolutely love love love these two, but there are no reviews with pictures yet. I mean, how can you go wrong with that maxi? and isn't the blue stunning?

Or, I could just get this maxi again. But where's the fun in that? I did love it though, and would absolutely buy it if I ever found it for the same price I can rent it for, lol.

I realise that these are all varying degrees of fancy-ness and style but that is because I am what you call indecisive :) The dress may help decide the venue, lol. 

Sometimes they have sales and coupons and whatnot, so that may sway my decision. I ordered this dress in peach from asos, that might work. Or I might just pop by Target or TJ Maxx this weekend.. But doesn't it seem like such a fun idea - rent a fun dress and send it back on it's merry way?

By the by, not a sponsored post. I just really like rent the runway. Its fun! I am definitely the kind of girl that doesn't like to wear the same dress more than once, only because I get kind of bored of them and they look the same. Was that a night out on the town, KY Derby or anniversary dinner? Who knows, because she wore the same dress to all of them. Ok I know, exaggerating and #firstworldproblems.

Appreciate your help ladies. Has anyone else used rent the runway before? Good, bad, ugly? Think I am ridiculous for renting a dress? All opinions are welcome, except I won't respond to mean ones. Ha! 

Happy Friday-eve loves.
