Bored at work=online shopping

I know, I know--I'm posting a shit ton today. Work is a smidge slow today. Anyhoo, since Gmail is blocked on my network (for shame!), and I have to fill my time occassionally, I guiltily shop for clothes I can't afford and quickly switch to working for reals when a cubicle neighbor walks by en route to the printer. Sitting in front of printer is no bueno.

My new obsession is this Netflix-eque site called Rate the Runway, which allows you to rent a fabulous dress for $50-200. This may sound expensive, considering I could plop down 50 bucks and walk away with two Forever 21 dresses to have until they fall apart (roughly two months...). But, I was scanning through their selection, and I could TOTALLY see myself doing this for, say, my birthday or New Year's Eve, when you really NEED an incredibly swank dress, especially when $50 can get you a $400 dress for the night. Even better--they send you two sizes, so that you know you'll get the right fit.

Right now I'm coveting these:

By Lela Rose
Retails for $1,395
(gorgeous color)


By Robert Rodriguez Collection
Retails for $650


By Badgley Mischka
Retails for $530
(love the origami effect!)


By Herve Leger
Retails for $1,350
(okay, fine, I would look like a sausage in this one with my big ol' booty, but a girl can dream, non?)


By Yigal Azrouel
Retails for $915
(metallics are so hot right now, and this mini Grecian dress is gorge)


By Catherine Maladrino
Retails for $495
(I LOVE a jumpsuit when they aren't smutty. I wonder if I'm too short to rock one?)
