Given that they carry designer clothing much of it is out for me based on their limited sizes, but I can still drool over all the great jewelry.
In the movie Sex and the City 2, I feel in love with Carrie's Rodrigo Otazu bracelet as she wandered the beach in Abu Dhabi (sorry not the best pic, but all I could find).

And then I saw the same bracelet on Jill Zarin during the many episodes of The Real Housewives of New York Reunion Show.

With that I knew it was a spendy bracelet, but hadn't done my research yet. Then while clicking through Rent the Runway I spied the same one!

Yep, I was right - pricey with its $400+ tag, but with Rent the Runway I could rent it for 4 days (long enough for an event) for only about 16% of the retail cost or $65. I admit its still a little spendy for the rental, but ahh, the memories (and I would be sure to take lots of pictures!).
How about you? Would you (or have you) rented clothing or accessories before?

To be honest, I wouldn't unless I needed an expensive gown for some black-tie event, and even then I would hesitate. It just seems like a a waste of money to me -- why spend $$ if I'm not allowed to keep it?
I agree w/ Miss Potential. I could not see spending $60 on something I could only use for 4 days. I would do a borrowing program on a gown for an event. I think the idea is fun, but out of my price range. I would rather try to find something for $60 that I could keep.
OK, for anyone who knows me I did Bag Borrow or Steal YEARS ago for a fun weekend trip. And you know what? It was worth it and I'd do it again. (Hello, Botkier!) Kimberly, I am totally backing you on this one!
