I've been utilizing Rent the Runway for over a decade to attend various events or celebrate milestones. as seen in this post from spring last year. Last month I rented a dress for a big work event that I was helping to facilitate. And even though this dress is subtle it definitely stood out. coat--Nordstrom(similar here ), dress Derek Lam via Rent the Runway , sunnies-Versace(similar here ) , belt- Amazon , pin- Ceremonial , boots--Steve Madden via Nordstrom(similar here ) This outfit was sourced from all kinds of retailers. From the high end designer, mid-brand department store, designer rentals, fast fashion online shopping, and a local boutique. There area a lot of pieces and while again nothing overwhelms or comes across as loud, the overall look has impact. The dress was meant to come with a sash belt, but didn't in the size I ended up wearing, so I slapped on this wide bucket and layered with a long-sleeved top against the October chill.
