Golden Tote Review – $149 Tote – October 2014

I just received my tote today. I chose the black motorcycle jacket and the red plaid shirt. Oy, the sizing on them runs small. While I can zip the jacket, it is not pretty. I think losing 10lbs is in order.

I also received a scarf, but mine was a soft gray cotton with black faux leather trim. (Perhaps everyone received a scarf this month?)

I also received the Le Lis sweater but in navy. This fits well and looks nice on. I also received the open cardigan but in black & white which also looks good (though I concur with your thought that it be a bit longer).

Finally I received a black knee length sweater dress with zipper detailing. I don’t usually go for this style, but this one fits well. Overall, a success but more on their picks than my own. I hope I can lose weight just to wear the jacket, I really love it!

I had to order the black maxi in large but need a medium if you want to swap when my tote comes in!

I love the idea of Golden Tote, but I have not had good luck with the “mystery” items in their boxes. I must have a weird body shape or something, because it is rare that one of the extra items fits and/or looks good on me. I got this same jacket last year from a Golden Tote (I ADORE it and wear it ALL the time!!) and every single other item in the order was horrible on me. Boxy, material had a cheap feel, and almost everything was too short (I’m pretty long-waisted). I kept the tote because of the jacket, but haven’t worn a single other piece from that tote since I got it. I am contemplating buying another jacket (just to have a backup!) and it’s cheaper and a better value for me to just buy it from their boutique for $75!! I am sad that I cannot seem to get things that I like in these…it’s such a fun concept! Liz, all your items look great! It makes me jealous :oP

Thanks for sharing! I always watch fall and winter fashion from the sidelines. Its still around 90 degrees @ Puerto Rico! Its fallmmer!!! GT summer cloth is way to casual so I splurge in spring only. I
do buy some some items in the Fb trading group if I find them weather and lifestyle appropriate. However, if
I wear anything in this tote I will melt in my work commute which actually is 17 minutes!!!!! Anyhow if I lived in a place which have Fall I would totally love this cloth.

I actually ordered the large black dress and need a medium ! Is there any other outlets to swap other than facebook? I do not want to have a facebook account.

I didn’t purchase last month due to their computer glitches but this made me cave. I picked the moto jacket and the zippered dress in grey which is very me. I wanted the maxi but it was sold out in small 🙁 I’m excited to see what my other items are.

Yay thank you for putting in the material content! It definitely helps give a better idea of value, care, etc!

Question: For the $50 or $150 totes, you can keep everything or are you able to return and get another item if you don’t like the way it looks on you? Maybe it’s Stitch Fix is the one you have to pay to keep the items minus the styling fee? Sorry if that’s a dumb question. 🙂

They gave out scarves or socks in the 5 item totes as a surprise, according to the FB trading group. I got the black owl sweater and the tile print maxi dress. The black maxi was sold out in medium or I would’ve gotten black. But they gave you a medium and you wanted large! Oh well. I’m excited about the maxi. Didn’t get my tote yet but I think pretty much everybody got one of the cardigans (4 colors/patterns)

I got the jacket in my tote so I’m glad it is worth it. I use mediums so I’m hoping mine will fit. I wont be receiving my tote until next week and I’m nervous on what Ill get
