Wedding season is upon us and buying a dress for every occasion can get expensive for a one time use! I have a few recommendations for all you wedding guests this upcoming season!
Rent The Runway - Rent The Runway offer one time rentals & dresses can be around $25-150 depending on the brand, style, and popularity. Rent The Runaway also offers 3 memberships options each month & is great to change up your closet!
@reviveyosoul - This is a Houston, Texas based business, they offer all kinds of gowns that are perfect as a wedding guest, bride, & mama to be! They offer amazing dresses to rent for all kinds of photoshoots & occasions!
Nuuly Rent - Nuuly Rent offers a membership based service & more affordable! They do the laundry for you, so no worries about washing & cleaning before sending it back. I love how they categorize by looks & occasions!
Another great option instead of renting is thrifting your attire! I’m a lover of thrifting & you can so easily do this if you’re trying to stay on the budget! Thrifting can be time consuming, however the money you can potentially save makes it so worth it. Personally I’m a sucker for thrifting & love going! I wanted to share some of my favorite thrift stores in the Houston & Austin areas.
Houston Thrift Stores:
Salvation Army off of Washington Ave in Houston. They have such a big variety of men’s & women’s clothing & accessories, home decor, & furniture. Every Wednesday at Salvation Army is 50% off everything (I believe this is everywhere or just at certain locations).
Address: 2208 Washington Ave, Houston, TX 77007
Salvation Army in Pearland off of 518 is one of my go to thrift stores! This store has the most friendly staff & well stocked in every department every time I’m there! I constantly find the best clothing, brands, & unique finds here! Again, Half off Wednesdays is where it’s at!
Address: 3260 E Broadway St, Pearland, TX 77581
Forgotten Angels Resale Shop is in the same strip center as Salvation Army in Pearland. Forgotten Angels is a great store & they have weekly deals. They have a giant selection of home decor, crafts, furniture, and art however, the clothing selection is more limited, but they still have a great variety! I love finding pots for my plants, little trinkets, jackets, & mugs here!
Address: 3216 E Broadway St, Pearland, TX 77581
The Shepard’s Nook in Friendswood, Texas. This is a cash only business & they have very limited hours of service, but this is by far my favorite thrift store in all of Houston area. I have found some of my best finds within this small blue house. They have a wide selection of men’s, women’s, & children’s clothing, shoes, & accessories, housewares & decor. Plus, the prices are incomparable, it’s such a great little store!
Address: 201 N Friendswood Dr, Friendswood, TX 77546
Treasure City Thrift in Austin, Texas. I have only been here once, but the time I did go, they have a pretty good selection of everything you could want in a thrift store! The prices were incredibly low, considering you’re in Austin. I love pretty unique glassware pieces for only a few bucks!
Address: 2142 E 7th St, Austin, TX 78702
Goodwill Outlet aka the Goodwill Bins in Austin, Texas. I absolutely love the South Austin location, but they do have a North Austin location. Every time I go it doesn’t disappoint! You will want to come prepared, gloves, reusable bag to put all your goodies in, comfy shoes, a mask (this place is always packed), & hand sanitizer! At Goodwill Outlets they price everything by the weight, so all clothing is $1.49/lb.
Address: 6505 Burleson Rd, Austin, TX 78744
Wishing y’all good luck on your future thrift finds & hope this helps y’all!
