Did everyone have the happiest holiday? I’m hoping you did. I’m catching up on things at work (aka organizing every corner of my office) but I’m hoping you are playing with Christmas goodies while snuggled up on the couch.

I hate just fast forwarding to the next holiday but since New Year’s is just around the corner, it’s time to start planning your party attire. I love getting dolled up for NYE but it can be hard to justify shelling out serious cash for a {insert adjective here: sequin, sparkly, gold, all of the above} festive frock.

That’s where Rent the Runway comes in. I’ve used RTR for weddings in the past and I must say I’m a fan. But word to the wise: make sure you order two dresses. This has been a life-saver for me because inevitably one doesn’t fit or look right (aka as you imagined). If you’re dead set on one dress – get two sizes. If you’re not sure – get both! They allow you to add another dress for $25 and it’s worth it. Promise.

I love that you can sport a designer dress for a fraction of the cost. If you’re thinking of going the RTR route, look now before all the good ones are gone! Oh and you can save 25% off your next rental (of $100 or more) with the code NYE12
