With summer soiree season officially upon us, there’s really only one thing you need to know about what to wear to a summer wedding.  Rent The Runway.  I’ve been renting from RTR for years and they are still my go-to for any black tie event or just a girls night out.  Case in point, last weekend was jam packed with “fancy” and while my hair and accessories (I mean THESE earrings) stayed the same I had the pleasure of wearing this Bibhu Mohapatra and a Yigal Azrouel (pic HERE) all thanks to RTR.  So my Loves, have you rented before and if not what are you waiting for?  truly, MKR
