December Golden Tote Review

The Box: Golden Tote

The Price: $49 or $149 (plus shipping)

The Goods:  For the $49 tote, you select one item from their monthly curated clothing selection and they choose 1-2 additional pieces to send you for up to a $200 value.  For the $149 option, you select 2 and they choose 3-5 for you for up to a $600 value.

I opted for the $49 tote this month since a) I had already overspent for Christmas gifts and b) I'm weirdly picky about clothes so I wasn't sure what to expect.  

I was pleased to see that they include outfit ideas for the items in your tote.  I would totally wear the outfit on the left.

Morning Apple Easy Owl Sweater: This was the item I chose.  Golden Tote sells this sweater for $45 outside the tote, which I feel is a pretty fair cost for it.  I have a small obsession with owls so once GT posted this on Facebook I knew I *had* to get this month's tote.

Hourglass Lily Jersey Wrap Dress:  Based on similar dresses from the same brand, I'd value this around $60.  It's pretty flattering and WAY comfy so I'll totally have to find an excuse to wear this.  Oh, and apparently J had never seen a wrap dress before so when I pulled it out and worked on untangling it...he totally thought it was a robe.

 Including shipping, I paid about $57 for the tote and I feel like it was totally worth it. When you add a tote to your shopping cart, they ask you a short questionnaire about your size and style to get a better idea of what to give you as the "extra" items.  Now that I have a little more confidence in the things they send, I'll probably go with the $149 option next time.
