“How do you have so many coats?” The truth is… I don’t. I rent them. 🧥✨ Coats are $, storage in NYC is laughable, and dry-cleaning averages $50 a pop (yep, I’m just as shocked as you). Renting has saved me money, space, and lets me play with trends commitment-free. Trust me when I say, it’s worth every penny.
