How to look fabulous at every event, without breaking the bank…..

I think it’s kind of strange that we spend more money on an outfit we’ll wear once or twice for a wedding, the races or Christmas party than on a pair of jeans or a jacket we’ll wear till it crawls to the bin!  Although we want to look our glammed up best at these events, doing so can cost some serious $$$’s……well maybe not, Ruby Slippers may have found the perfect solution; renting your outfit.

There are quite a few companies offering this service from dresses, jackets and bags. One of our fav’s is Sydney’s ‘Dressed Up’.  We popped along to their showroom in Sydney to meet with the owner, Serena Ross, for a chat and a drool at their gowns.   They house a range of designers and have some really beautiful dresses. Check out the website, this isn’t just long, sparkly evening gowns there is so much more choice than you’d imagine. Sizes range from 6 – 12, with 14’s on their way for next AW season. The hire is for 7 days but you can pay for longer if you can’t bear to part with your new frock! With prices starting at $89 for short dresses I think it is great value.

It’s also an amazing idea for anyone stuck trying to find bridesmaid dresses.  You can have designer gowns without paying the prices. Perfect.

Get in touch with us at Ruby Slippers if you have a special event you’d like help with some styling for. We can not only offer you our expert advice, but we get reduced rates with Dressed Up too, yay. Email us at Rachel@rubyslippersstyling.com.au for more details.
