If you aren’t familiar with Golden Tote, here’s a really quick intro: Every month, a new “collection” of seasonally appropriate, trend-conscious clothing is added to their collection. Depending on the subscription level you choose, you can pick out 1-2 pieces from those options, and Golden Tote will surprise you with the rest. The surprise items are completely different from the collections you pick from. Golden Tote also offers a Surprise Tote, where you choose your preferred size but leave all the picking up to the stylists at Golden Tote.
This is a review of the 2-item Golden Tote, which is $59.00 + an add-on item.
This $59.00 tote comes with two pieces—one I pick, plus one they pick for me. You can also pick member-priced add-on items to toss in with your order.
Each month’s box comes with a seasonal tote, and this is the best one yet. I am desperate for Spring, so anything floral or bright right now is giving me life!

About Golden Tote Clothing Subscription Box
The Subscription Box: Golden Tote 2-Item Tote plus Add-Ons
The Cost: Golden Tote offers a $149.00 Golden Tote (5 clothing items), or $59.00 Mini Tote (2 clothing items). Both allow you to pick at least one of the items you get and choose member-priced add-on items that you’d like to receive as well. The other items are all a surprise! There’s also a Surprise Tote (3 clothing items all picked by Golden Tote) for $89.00. I’ll be reviewing the 2-item tote today, plus the one add-on item I chose!
The Products: The 5-item Golden Tote includes 2 clothing items that YOU choose from their catalog, plus 3 items that Golden Tote’s stylists choose for you based on your preferences. The 3 additional items don’t typically come from the catalog, so they’re complete surprises. Golden Tote releases a new “collection” of items to add to its catalog. The items are a mix of trendy and timeless looks, including dresses, casual tops, blouses, bottoms, denim, and third pieces like cardigans and jackets.
Ships to: The US for $5.95 or free on orders $149.00 and over. International for $30.00.
Delivered via: UPS or USPS
Golden Tote 2-Item Tote + One Add-On April 2019 Review
Every shipment includes an itemized invoice and information about returns or exchanging sizes.
Now on to my amazing April picks!
Bloom Baby Bloom Dress, size medium - Retail Value $42, Special Price With Tote Purchase $38
I was attracted to this dress from the get-go! I love the loose swing of the skirt, and the simple floral pattern is a boho dream. This will be even more perfect for me as my little baby bump grows into a bigger baby bump over the summer. The fabric has no stretch to it, but the dress unbuttons completely, which is promising if anyone out there has bigger chest or shoulders like me.
Cat Scratch Skinnies, 12/30 - Retail Value $50, Special Price With Tote Purchase $40
The name of these jeans is half the reason why I had to have them, honestly, but the style is just as cool! They are minimally distressed, just enough to bring a little edge to the style. I had to do a quick, easy exchange because I ordered size 10 (I usually wear size 8, but I figured I would need a bigger size soon anyway--turns out I needed a little more room, yet!); these skinnies run small, and I ended up with a size 12, which fit me perfectly!
I love that the material doesn’t have too much stretch (50% rayon, 38.9% cotton, 9.4% poly, 1.7% spandex), to leave me hiking them up all day long. The 9-inch high rise fits right under my belly button, and the material is very soft and comfortable to move in.
Ellison Leopard Print Top, size medium - Estimated Value $38
I couldn’t find this top online, so I based the estimated value on similar tops found in the Golden Tote Boutique. I switched up my profile this month, and made my note to the stylist indicate that I was looking for looser tops for the summer - and she delivered! I love an all-over print, especially animal! This shirt is a very soft polyester, and the fit is perfect for my body right now. I’ll definitely get a lot of wear out of it this spring.
The Verdict: April’s Golden Tote knocked my socks off! I absolutely love all three pieces this month, and everything was a perfect fit. Golden Tote pieces are some of my most worn picks in my closet, and I always look forward to the new styles they come out with every month.
