I’ve always loved Nelly’s music, but I was truly thrilled at
the idea of going to a glam event that would surely bring
good vibes to a recently damaged city and its people
following the events of Ferguson. I needed a dress, and
I had no time to shop for one!
A stylist-blogger friend of mine mentioned Rent The
Runway to me. I’d heard of it, but the idea of renting a
dress was really foreign to me. Then again, the idea of
spending hours - maybe even days - shopping for the
perfect dress was something I just couldn’t do,
especially during the height of Christmas-time shopping.
So I headed to Rent The Runway’s NYC Flatiron boutique
after booking an appointment for a personal stylist
session and fitting.

Now that was easy! I spent all of one hour there and
quickly narrowed my choices to two dresses. I would
never have been able to afford the Hervé Leger bandage
dress ($1,650) at a store! I rented it for $165 and was
able to use a first-timer promo code.
But the biggest thrill was that I’ve always wanted to wear
one (why should Kim Kardashian have all the fun?). I
didn’t even have to bother carrying the dress home that
day because Rent The Runway had it shipped to where I
would be staying in St. Louis.
A free return shipping envelope and return date reminder
came with it. It was a colossal score for me and spared
me the huge dress hunt that can be a nightmare in a city
like New York.
I had so much fun and really respect what Nelly is
doing for the St. Louis community and for local youth
education through this annual event.
