Golden Tote - November 2012 Review - Women's Monthly Clothing Subscription Boxes

I was beyond excited when my first Golden Tote box arrived in the mail!

Golden Tote - November 2012 Review - Women's Monthly Clothing Subscription Boxes

The Box: Gold Tote

The Cost: $49 (2-3 items at up to a $250 value) or $149 (5-7 items at up to a $600 value)

The Products: Women's clothing and accessories. You pick 1-2 items and they surprise you with the rest!

FYI - I'm reviewing the $149 tote. This month's theme is cozy essentials.

This is the November Tear Sheet that came with the tote. It definitely added to the box for me - I love these touches that make me feel like I have my own personal stylist!

Blue Ombre Infinity Scarf - Value estimated $45

This scarf is super soft and really versatile. It will get a ton of use!

Maroon Striped Maxi Dress - Value estimated $80

I love maxi dresses and have been looking for more fall styles - I was thrilled to spot this in the golden tote!

Aztec Sweater Cardigan - Value $98

This was one of the items I picked out and I love it! It drapes perfectly and the gold has just the right amount of shimmer. (You can see photos of it on a model at Golden Tote).

Color Blocked Striped Sweater - Value $72

Hooded Twill Jacket - Value $92

This jacket is somewhat lightweight, so it will be great for layering in the winter, or worn as-is in the spring or fall. (This was the second item I picked).

Lace Top - Value estimated $50

This top is sort of a sweatshirt material, so it's very comfy, and the high-low cut and lace make it much more stylish than a sweatshirt!

Verdict: I am thrilled with this box. It really felt like I had my own personal stylist, and - the best part in my opinion - even on my best shopping day I could never score all these items for only $149!  FYI for sizing, I'm typically a size large at Forever 21 and went with size Large at Golden Tote and everything fit perfectly.

What do you think of Golden Tote? Will you sign up?

I absolutely adore this and it is the first I have ever heard of it!!! I am not at all fashion savvy. I am the one that gives the card to my sister and sais, “I have a meeting for business, can you go find me something to wear?” The poor thing knows my sizes and I cannot tell you the last time I picked out my own clothes. I am so much more into skin care. I desperately need a Makeover and would be the BEST candidate ever. Keep in mind…I am in my early 40’s and wear the same size shoe I did as in the 6th grade. I am definately a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl, but I would be open to wearing every single piece that you showed!! I just don’t know how to pick them out and put them together!!!

I purchases the March 2013 Golden Tote for $49. The shipping was a bit pricey ($13.02). I read on the site they were/are trying to fix the shipping costs. I picked the Maxi dress and LOVE IT. The shirt/sweater I received has a peter pan collar and horizontal stripes(not usually my style), but it fits nicely. I am going to keep it… step out of my comfort zone. I think this is a good subscription, but you have to be very open.

I got the smaller November tote and loved it. I decided to splurge and order the larger tote for December, and unfortunately have to send it back. Most things were cute, but none seemed to fit correctly. I was so bummed. 🙁 I am hoping when they update their website to where we can customize our profiles, etc. that I will get things that will work for me a little better. I love Golden Tote!

I definitely want to start this after the holidays. I like that you can choose when you want it, since it is a bit pricey. But I love the sweaters they have!

Wow, I love your tote! I chose that jacket too and I really love it. I got the same maxi dress but in solid black. That lace sweater looks very nice.

I was really impressed with Golden Tote and I’m definitely going to get December’s too. I saw on their facebook that they are coming up with a new quiz that will personalize it even more for February. Can’t wait!
