“I’m in love, I’m in love, and I don’t care who knows it!!!” –Elf (and also me, regarding the It Girl Closet)
I interviewed Cornelia Buchanan, one of my sorority sisters, a few months ago about her experience with Rent the Runway and her new It Girl Closet program. At the time, I was intrigued, but it wasn’t until Christmas break that I decided to take the plunge. I was spending way too much money buying dresses for every event I happened to attend, and even then, I was getting sick of the same old stuff in my closet.
Near the end of December, I got in contact with Cornelia, paid my $80, and filled out a google doc with my sizes and dress preferences. I found myself spending hours browsing the “Looks We Love” on Rent the Runway, checking out all of the dresses that I could start wearing in January. I felt like such a celeb… except I wasn’t exactly looking for size 0’s and I was paying a very small fraction of the typical designer price. But like, same difference.
When I finally got the list of dresses that Cornelia had in her possession, I was thrilled. Most of the ones I loved were there, but I discovered so many other cute ones in my size! I found about four that I absolutely adored, after trying them on, and I’ve already worn two of them. The others I’m saving for my anniversary and a big internship interview next week!
Here’s a picture of my friends and I on my first night ever in Rent the Runway (I’m the one in the silver sparkly dress).
I had a wonderful night that night, and I’m almost positive it was because of my fantastic dress. Let’s just say that my boyfriend was pretty thrilled to see me in something different… and sparkly. And tight.
Every guy’s dream right?
I don’t have a picture of the other dress I wore, but I got a chance to rep it at a sorority meeting and then later at Justin’s (AKA Phi Delt on Wednesdays). I got so many compliments and I actually felt like I was walking on a cloud all night.
If you’re at all interested in joining the It Girl Closet Program, which I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND, check out the interview I did with Cornelia a while ago. It gives you all of the information you need to get started!
Hopefully I’ll be seeing some of y’all at the next It Girl Closet trunk show!!! :)
