 Never has such a brilliant idea come around that has taken the fashion industry and millions of women’s checkbooks by storm. The brainchild of two NYU grads, Rent The Runway (RTR) is the answer to looking luxe for less.

Why didn’t anyone think of this before?! Gone are the days of splurging big bucks on a designer gown for a festive occasion. Times are tough and spending has been curbed. But that doesn’t mean style and the latest spring collection needs to be sacrificed because of the debt crisis!

Rent the Runway will be your new best friend. Trust me, it’s mine. I cannot tell you the last time I actually purchased a dress at a store that I would only wear once and then spend the rest of its existence collecting dust on a plastic hanger in my closet.

Availability and selection is error-proof thanks to a calendar that first allows you to enter your rental date. You can further narrow your search by selecting a specific size, color or event theme. And it doesn’t stop with the dress. No ladies, there is more! You can also rent accessories like Dannijo earrings, Judith Leiber clutches and Ted Rossi cuffs. Styling from head to toe! Fierce.

The array of dresses available on the site is countless. Seems like every designer is on board for this savvy dress renting trend and why shouldn’t they be?

The time is now for the frugal fashionista!

Have you ever used Rent the Runway? How was your experience?
