Black Tie
I cannot wait for the day I am able to attend a wedding that is black tie, because I will finally have an excuse to dress like I’m walking a red carpet, until I actually walk a red carpet. This is the opportunity to wear those floor-length dresses you see in store or online and think, “where would I even where that?” Gowns are usually an investment piece because they are so expensive! I found a few that are under one hundred dollars, which is crazy! A couple of the dresses I chose are from one of my favorite shops, Revolve, who now partner with a company called Afterpay. Afterpay makes it so you don’t have to feel that drop in your stomach when you see that intimidating price tag next to the dress you fell in love with. Instead of abandoning your cart or buying the dress and then starving until the next paycheck, you’d pay for it in two week installments that are so affordable. But if you can’t justify purchasing one because you only have one event to attend, then Rent the Runway might be your answer. Rent the Runway allows you to rent designer clothes, including gowns, for a limited time at an affordable cost. Not to mention, it is an ethically conscious way to shop.
By the way, I am not sponsored by either of these companies, I just really love them but if they’d like to sponsor a post or video I’d be honored!
