Have you ever wondered what must-rent styles can be found inside the garment bags of the most fashionable RTR members each month? You’re in luck! Take a peek inside a shipment in the life of ambassador Angela Kraska (@Angelaoffduty), whose bold and sleek rental style is nothing short of Fashion with a Capital F.
Below, Angela breaks down how she used each spot from her last shipment to get dressed for fun summer plans. So, slow your scroll — you’re going to want to take notes (and heart a few new styles!) before building your next shipment.
NAME: Angela Kraska (@Angelaoffduty)
LOCATION: Detroit, MI
OCCUPATION: UX Designer/Content Creator
PLAN TYPE: 8 Items
LATEST SHIPMENT:
RENT THE RUNWAY: Describe your personal style in 5 words or less.
ANGELA KRASKA: Moldable, engaging, timeless, magnetic, luxurious.
RTR: Give us the TLDR of your life right now — what are you renting for? What’s your day-to-day like? Any fun plans on your radar?
AK: I rent for events such as weddings, parties, nights out with the girls, date nights, and Instagram content. I recently picked out a selection of items for a trip to Newport, RI. I work from home remotely during the day so when I leave home, I take full advantage of what I’m wearing.
RTR: What’s your swapping style? Everything at once, or hold onto your faves for a month or more?
AK: I usually swap everything immediately, unless I didn’t have time to shoot content or if it’s a really special item that’s hard to get. I held onto the black JW Anderson purse for two months.
RTR: Did you keep anything from your last shipment? If so, what was it?
AK: I have purchased Khaite jeans from a previous shipment, and [shopped] the clearance sales.
RTR: When you go to build a new shipment, do you head to new arrivals first? Peek at your heart lists? Something totally different?
AK: I like to sort by new arrivals — I usually check those daily to favorite new pieces I like. When it’s time to swap, I then go to my hearts and sort by newest or price high to low. I had my eye on an Altuzarra dress for months and finally got by sorting high to low!
Any tips or tricks you’d like to share?
I like to look up the different ways the item is styled on other websites, on the original designer website, etc. sometimes I see the dress is tied a different way, is paired with a bag I wouldn’t think of on my own, etc.
