How can I leave the house feeling good when my closet is constantly betraying me?
No one talks about how hard it is to dress a changing body—in the midst of celebrating wins on and off the scale the past few years, I’ve had equal moments of devastation when my wardrobe no longer works for me.
I can’t believe I didn’t think of the solution sooner: it’s clothing rental. I’ve known about Armoire forever, but it only recently occurred to me to hack it to dress my body as it is at any given moment. Bonus points for keeping my wardrobe current.
Here’s why things are going amazing with Armoire:
It’s a no-risk way to figure out my style
Before having kids, I had the carefree spirit of youth on my side, and I just wore whatever I wanted. Was it cohesive—who cares? Now that my body has seen weight gain through age and motherhood, and then loss through effort and consistency, I crave a sense of style that’s both reliable and representative of who I am.
Armoire’s 5 minute quiz was the first step I took.
I was sent my first package of clothes to try on at home and I learned a lot about what I thought I liked and what works for my body post-weight-loss. I sent most of that first shipment back (for free!). Now, through the help of my stylist and some trial-and-error, we have a higher success rate at choosing monthly rental items in colors and silhouettes that feel so right.
I’m only wearing clothes that fit me TODAY
The mind games I’ve played, oh girl. Breaking up with the nostalgia over too-big clothes, and the delusion of “goal” clothes is so freeing. I know I’m living a sustainably healthy lifestyle, and I choose to wear clothes that fit my body right now.
Renting means I can do this without causing clutter in my closet, or repeatedly putting myself in a cycle of overspending on clothes that I’ll just end up donating.
They do the laundry, hallelujah
Do you ever imagine how much more fun and exciting you’d be if there was less to do around the house? I have the joy of offloading my laundry on Armoire.
With every shipment, I do the wearing and they do the cleaning. Addressing regular wear and tear is also handled by them, so all that’s required of me is to live my life stylishly. If I fall in love with something from my curation, I can buy it from Armoire at a discount—but then of course washing it would be on me. 🙃
There’s an option for every budget
On top of being SO convenient, Armoire saves me money. Choose your own adventure with the tier that suits you:
- 4-Item Plan: $89/month—rent 4 items per case, 1 case per month.
- 7-Item Plan: $129/month ($99 the first month)—rent 7 items per case, 1 case per month.
- Unlimited Plan: $249/month ($149 the first month)—rent 6 items per case, unlimited cases.
Free shipping and returns for all of them! Honestly, before Armoire I was spending over $100 month purchasing clothes that didn’t work for me anyway, and I suggest you take a look in the mirror to ask yourself if you’re doing it too. You might be without even realizing it.
Zeroing in on clothes I love with no pressure and no clutter has made the investment go further than I could’ve imagined.
With Armoire, I’m regaining my sense of self
With the ability to explore brands I’ve been curious about, try some trends, and play with color and shape, all in sizes that fit my body NOW, I feel like me again. Armoire is to thank.
If you’re eager to change things up with your wardrobe, Armoire can help you nail your size and style, without draining your wallet or overloading your closet.
I have a really good feeling you’re going to love it as much as I do.
