rent your wardrobe // 18 Jun 2012

I have made an amazing discovery. Possibly better than Cheetos dipped in ranch dressing. So you want a piece of Tibi or Chanel, but would have to forego paying the rent in order to afford them? Join the club, my friends. But thanks to the genius that is Wish Want Wear, you can hire designer brands for up to 8 days if you need a new outfit and your tried-and-tested French Connection frock just isn’t going to cut the mustard. Need to outshine the bride? Done. Need to stand out at your school reunion? Oh yes. And it’s not just gorgeous gowns… they offer statement necklaces, vintage bags and fabulous hats. Below are my picks from their lustworthy collection. All together now: “Oh, this old thing?”

Hire prices: {1. Tibi Arizona maxi – £75 / 2. Badgley Mishka sequin sleeve gown – £67 / 3. See by Chloe ruffle bow dress – £65 / 4. Erin Fetherston metallic lace dress – £55 / 5. Dannijo Raquela necklace – £60 / 6. Elizabeth Cole Eden necklace – £30 / 7. Chanel 2.55 classic bag – £115 / 8. Klutched snake box clutch – £30 / 9. Kenneth Jay Lane coral leopard bangle – £50 / 10.
