I think it's safe to say I have a slight obsession with Pickle. I'm constantly scrolling through the app, saving pieces I love, and finding excuses to rent something new. Being in a sorority, there's always an event to dress up for, and Pickle is perfect for outfits I probably won't wear more than once. At this point, I'm the person my friends come to when they need something for an upcoming cocktail or formal. I talk about it so much that whenever I show up in something new, they immediately ask, "Let me guess, did you Pickle that?"

One of the things that makes Pickle so special is that you're not limited to what's currently being sold in stores. You're shopping people's actual closets, filled with older designer pieces and vintage finds they've held onto for years because they're worth keeping. I've found so many pieces I wouldn't have come across otherwise, and the more I use the app, the better it curates recommendations to match my personal style. Every seller I've rented from has also been so sweet and accommodating.

Pickle launched in NYC in 2022 and began expanding to other cities in 2024, alongside its nationwide shipping option. I genuinely can't believe we didn't have something like this sooner. The concept is absolutely genius, and I've become its biggest advocate. So, here are my favorite rentals, where I wore them, and how much money I saved along the way!

I rented this Tory Burch Mirror Embellished Cotton Dress from @hannahdpc for my parents' cocktail party, and it was easily one of my favorite outfits I've ever worn! I genuinely got more compliments on this dress than I've ever received on any outfit in my life. The dress originally retailed for $2,000, but I rented it for just $240, saving $1,760 while still getting to wear such a special designer piece!

For my 22nd birthday in New York City, I wore this Leo Lin Etienne Floral Top as a dress, rented from @ekgoodlett! I felt so feminine in it, and it was the perfect combination of classy and fun while still being a statement piece. I got so many DMs and texts asking where it was from, and the best part was that I only paid $130 to wear a $600 piece, saving $470!

I had my eye on this Alexis Mini Dress ever since Danielle Pheloung wore it for Acquired Style's engagement, but it was always too expensive to justify buying! Luckily, I found it on Pickle through @oliviapetas and was able to pick it up and drop it off with just a 15-minute walk in NYC, avoiding shipping costs altogether. I loved how unique it was and that it didn't look like something I'd already seen a thousand times, all while saving $330!

I had been eyeing this Alexis Mini Dress since high school, so I was so excited when I finally found it on Pickle through @avaek! It's one of Alexis's older designs, and I rented a size small, but I would recommend sizing down to an extra small because it ran a little big. I wore it for Labor Day and loved how chic the red and white looked with the black accents. All my friends were asking to borrow it the next night, and I got to wear a $500 dress for just $80, saving $420!

I rented this House of CB Long Sleeve Mini Dress from @_jordy_ for my senior fall break in Nashville. I originally rented an extra small, which humbled me, to say the least, and ended up switching to a small. House of CB runs VERY small, so I definitely recommend sizing up! Between the gorgeous white lace, flared bell sleeves, and cinched waist, it was so flattering and fit in all the right places. I also love how versatile it is and could see myself wearing it for so many different occasions! Originally $330, I rented it for just $90, saving $240!

This Vintage Missoni Mini Dress from @ririmarc was my very first Pickle rental and what made me fall in love with the app! The entire process was so seamless, and I loved that I was able to find a vintage piece that I hadn't seen anyone else wearing. One of my favorite things about Pickle is that you're not limited to what's currently trending or being sold in stores. You get access to older designs that people have held onto for years because they're just that good! The intricate pattern made this dress so beautiful, and sit still felt so simple and classic. Originally $750, I rented it for just $65, saving $685!

Another dress I wore during my 22nd birthday week in NYC was this Alexis Irisa Dress from @maggieldalldorf. Sadly, this was the only picture I got in it, but I loved how I could just throw it on without having to worry about accessories or styling it too much. The relaxed silhouette was one of my favorite parts because it wasn't super fitted but was still so flattering, which I feel like is hard to find. I also loved the blue and purple combination, and it was another older Alexis design that I couldn't find in stores anymore. Originally $395, I rented it for just $60, saving $335!

I rented this Tuckernuck Green Dupioni Mollie Dress from @emmabrooks for my My Tie cocktail party, and it was exactly what I was looking for. I wanted something with a simple silhouette and solid color since I knew I'd be wearing a tie over it. I've been loving this deep emerald green color lately, and I think it's one of those shades that looks good on so many different skin tones and hair colors. I got so many compliments on it, and I was able to rent it for just $30 instead of $148, saving $118!
