Last year, I got lucky on the holiday party circuit. The parties where I had to bring the sparkle were all on the same day so I only needed one ‘fancy’ dress. This year, the parties are all spread out. Enter Rent the Runway. I have said it before and I will say it again, RTR never disappoints. Better yet, when you rent one stunner at full price they offer you a second for only $25. You can’t lose. Here is what I rented for the holidays plus a few of my favorites…

Party 1 dress - Elizabeth and James shift ($75 rental). I picked this one because of my height. I would not recommend this style for anyone under 5’6″.

*Tip – read the reviews! They are usually very accurate and helpful for accessorising.

Party 2 – Badgley Mischka sheath ($125 rental). I followed my own advice and let the reviews make up my mind on this dress. I know it is going to look amazing.  Added bonus – I already have shoes for both dresses!

Nicole Miller gown ($125 rental). Granted, this one is super dressy but would be absolutely perfect for a formal winter wedding.

Trina Turk No Strings Attached dress ($50 rental). I think this is a great look for a corporate holiday event. Sexy but not too revealing. Punch it up with a heavy yellow necklace.

Reem Acra New Years Eve dress ($350 rental). I consider this a complete statement dress. It’s a risk and expensive (retails at $2500) but you will be the standout at any party.

Kate Spade Citrus Pop Dress ($85 rental). This dress is not at all my style and that’s why I picked it. Step out of your style comfort zone and try new things. The only change I would make to this look is perhaps tying a wider, black satin belt around the middle.

*H&H Reader Tip: RTR has extended their Cyber Monday deals. All orders are 20% off today!
