November Golden Tote Review!

So after a very busy weekend I finally have a chance to review my first Golden Tote! If you haven't heard of this Sub, I strongly suggest that you check it out, only you now will have to wait until February :(

Just to recap Golden Tote is a clothing Subscription Service that offers two tiers of service, your first Option is $49 plus shipping (up to $250 value) with this option you get to choose 1 of 2 items and they surprise you with 1 or 2 more.  Option 2 is a bit more pricey but in my opinion is more bang for your buck, for $149 (up to $600 value!! ) plus shipping you get to pick 2 of 4 choices (not the same ones as the other version) and they surprise you with 3 to 5 other items.

Now I strongly dislike going to the mall,and when I do what I buy is usually black or grey, my wardrobe really consists of pieces that can go together without much thought, but it is not very exciting or trendy, and many times when we have somewhere to go, I panic cause I have nothing to wear!!, so when I heard of this service I thought this could be a great opportunity to add to my lacking wardrobe, not break my bank and try something fun! Sorry about the Photo's they really do not do the clothing justice, but I am home alone with no one to help hehe will edit post later with better photo's

My first Item was the Aztec Sweater which was what started this whole adventure,  I got my tote in between the Annual Realtors Luncheon and my work Christmas party so I was able to wear it to dinner!!  I love this item and wore it again to a friendly get together the next night. I can see this becoming a staple in my wardrobe.  This piece is very versatile, it could be paired with jeans, skirts, dress pants and I wore it with my lu's for a more casual look too!  Also the fit was amazing and it drapes beautifully.

My second item was a hooded twill jacket. This item most likely will not get alot of wear until spring as its a bit cold for this piece but definitely will go into spring rotation. Fit was great, and I think its a quality piece.

My third item was a blue ombre infinity scarf.  I can not say enough about this scarf aside from the fact that I have practically lived in it since Friday :) It is so soft and makes me feel quite cozy. I will definitely be checking this designer out so I can order another......or 2.......or 3 :)

4th Item - Puella Striped Babydoll (what I am calling it anyways)
The fit on this is great though I am not 100% sold on the chevron type stripes on the top part as I think they make my chest look strange lol- but I think on someone with less ample attributes ;) this would look great with leggings and boots. I was really hoping to get one of the Saint Grace Maxi's but maybe in the future.

5th Item - Color Block Sweater.  I love this sweater! jeans,work pants and leggings!  this will go with everything. Once again Fit was spot on.

6th Item - hmm what to call this sweater?
I really like this piece and I think you could really mix up what you wear under it to set different tones to your outfit,  Fit was pretty good as I think its meant to be on the loose side.

I got a tad concerned when I made my December Sale Tote and Accessory Tote prior to receiving my first tote, but after receiving my tote my only concern is that the next sale is not until February 28th

I personally love this service, what do you think? would you try it?

  2. http://bit.ly/R2hn2b No Duty or Tax, and honestly even just two of the items I received were worth the price
