Fashion Meets Sustainability with Rent the Runway

Happy Fashion Friday! Seasonal temps are changing, which has fall fashion in full swing. I’m here for fall layers, leather, hoodies, sweater dresses, boots and more. So today, I’m sharing about one of my sustainable fashion go to’s, who I’ve teamed up with for an awesome deal for you — Rent the Runway.

I tried Rent the Runway for the first time in 2016 for a formal event, and haven’t looked back since. I sing their praises to my friends, and here are the top reasons why:

FLEXIBILITY TO BUY OR RENT AT GREAT PRICES

Sometimes there are some things you will only wear once. That being said, who wants to always pay an arm and a leg for those one time looks. If wardrobe flexibility and versatility is what you crave, then RTR has you covered. They have all the rental options for your everyday apparel to formal affairs, maternity clothes and everything in between. I’ve rented outfits for as little as $30. If you’ve never rented with RTR before, you can get $30 off your first rental here — thank me later!

Additionally, you can buy designer pieces for a fraction of the cost. I recently purchased that cute denim dress above from RTR that I may have never found elsewhere. Then for the true fashion lovers who like to rotate their wardrobe, they also offer memberships, which start at $69 a month. Their newest memberships are:

1) Up to 8 Items/Month — Great for outfit updates and occasions, including work and weekend looks. (Normally $135, now $81)

2) Up to 16 Items/Month — Great for weekly newness for work, weekends, occasions and more. (Normally $199, now $119).

To access these exclusive savings, head here and enter code RTRFAM591773E at checkout. You can pause or cancel your membership at any time should your wardrobe needs change.

SECOND SIZE FREE

I absolutely LOVE online shopping; however, many are fearful of going this route for special occasions due to fit concerns. Well, with RTR that no longer has to be an issue because you have the option to rent your garment in your preferred size and then select a 2nd size complimentary. Talk about awesome customer service, and being safe rather than sorry!

CONVENIENCE

It is so easy to navigate the RTR site, filter by the color you are looking for and size needed. Plus, shopping from the convenience of our homes is valued now more than ever. You pick the delivery date and wait for your items to arrive in a garment bag. When you’re ready to return, simply repack your item(s) in the garment bag (with the pre-paid shipping label provided) and drop off at a Fedex store or drop box. Doesn't get easier than that, right?!

SUSTAINABLE FASHION

I of course still buy new clothes, and I’m proud of the motivational apparel my shop offers. However, I understand I have an environmental responsibility — we all do. Which is why I’m also proud to promote sustainable fashion by renting and buying pre-loved items to help create a cleaner world. Learn more about RTR’s Rent, Reduce and Reuse Movement here.

TRY NEW THINGS

Last but not least, RTR pushes me to try new clothing styles. When you rent, you feel less restrictive, so you’re more likely to try a bold print, loud color, new trend and in general, spice up your look. My style ranges from comfy cute to street wear, and modern glam. RTR gives me the ability to try all types of styles and simply to have fun with fashion.

Do yourself a favor and head here to spice up your closet. I know we’re spending more time at home than ever, but I’ve found that getting dressed up on the weekend boosts my mood and even for my Zoom meetings and photo shoots. Happy Shopping!
