Rent the Runway

Last Thursday night, I went to an event for NextStep Fitness at Christies.  This organization was created to deliver essential fitness services to the underserved community of para- and tetraplegics, as well as others with neurological impairments, in greater Los Angeles County.  The event was to increase awareness of their mission as well as raise funding in order to expand and bring their rehab facilities to cities all over the country.  A great and important effort, please check out their website for more info.

I felt like wearing something special that night so I logged into my new account on Rent the Runway.  I've been a member for a few months but this was my first experience ordering from them.  I couldn't have been more pleased.  My order was hand delivered to my office in the black bag below the day of the party.  Inside was a black box with a note from the owners and my beautiful Roarke necklace which I rented for four days.  The rate to rent is obviously way cheaper than buying and since it was sort of a statement piece, it seemed reasonable to rent since I'd only wear a few times.  The compliments I got also made the rental totally worth it in my mind, Roarke has some truly beautiful pieces.  Sunday, when my four days were up, I dropped the necklace in the provided padded pre-paid postage package (that's a lot of alliteration!) and then to the mailbox.  Easy, breezy, beautiful...
