Which items are you picking this month?
Written by Liz Cadman
For once, I am glad I am broke this month because otherwise I would buy almost all of these items as add-ons. Wow. What a great month!
I MUST have that Spring Chic Maxi and the Business casual blouse in green! Love love love love
I hope some of these add ons will be under $35 – there are too many I like!
Jill – the $35 items (i.e. from this month there were some tops and skirts) were marked to $30 with the purchase of the tote. Other items are marked down to $35 (including, for example, the $54 Gone Yachting top). HTH.
Can you buy two of the $49 totes in one month, or are you only able to pick one option? This is the first month I’ve really liked any of the options, and I have liked very few of the surprise items from the reviews (most of their clothing seems to be very loose, which does not flatter my body type).
You can buy as many of each tote as you want. So you could buy one, two, three, or more $49 totes or just one $149 tote. It’s up to you. Also they have a really great trading group which I’ve found very useful for selling items I wasn’t in love with. It’s facebook.com/goldentotetrades if you’re interested.
Do you always get the 1-2 favorites you pick or do they just use that to understand your style?
You always get to pick 2 items with the $149 tote, or 1 item with the $49 tote.
There is a style profile. I’d suggest creating an account prior to the sale in order to get that set up. Popular items sell out fast!
I want both of those maxis so badly! I can probably buy some of the shorter dresses or tops from the group but I doubt anyone will be selling the striped or chevron maxis. GT is the reason my savings account is a joke.
As a child I hated culottes, my grandmother always wore them. Then I grew up lol, I love those things! I may have to get my first tote after seeing these spoilers.
Just once I would like a month where I do not like anything lol I literally want too many things this month.
1. Is it possible to do $49 some months and the $149 some months, or are you locked into one or the other?
2. The site says the collection comes out the first Monday of every month… is it later this month b/c of Easter?
3. Is it necessary to be on the site as soon as the collection goes live (noon?)– will things sell out?
THANKS!
There is no subscription on this so you just sign on when the sale starts and decide if you want to buy something or not, you arent locked into anything each month.
If you are a size XS or Large, definitely sign on when the sale starts. It seems like those sizes go really fast
Thanks!!!
It is highly suggested that you be on the site at launch if you want the high demand items. Things sell out very fast.
There is no lock in, as it is not a true sub box. You can choose every month if you want something or not and are not locked in to anything.
I suggest you fill in your style profile now so you won’t have to at launch. There is good info on golden tote trading FB page. The owner of golden tote run it.
Thanks 🙂
I’m an XL in tops… they don’t have XL?
But a large in bottoms… I guess I can put that…
They tops either run too small or too large in my experience. Put in the profile your measurements and they take it into account. There is a section where you can write that you like your tops more loose. I did that and got pretty oversized stuff which was great for me
They have a new style profile now, where they do ask measurements, and whether you are pear shaped and things like that. The new style profile ask many questions which is why its best to fill it out now. You don’t have to order if you fill out the profile they just keep it. They refer to that when deciding on your surprise items. This way they have a good idea of what you like and what will look good on you.
You also can request certain surprise items if you see them online before hand.
You can specify in the comments what you like but since the new launch they are referring more to the profile then the comments. If they say it runs true to size then it does and they tell you up front if something runs big or small. The models measurements can be found on the face book page so you have an idea.
They do sometimes have xl and xs but we don’t always know ahead of time. A lot of items run big so don’t rule it out, plus if you don’t like the things you get you can send it all back or trade or sell it on the facebook group. They now have free shipping on all large tote orders or any order over 149. this is new and a good deal.
Brooke, they have some tops in XL but my advice is filling out your style profile completely and specifying only XL tops or large tops that run large. You can also specify no pants, skirts, or dresses if you don’t think those will fit based on the size chart given. HTH.
I don’t think I’ve ever wanted so many of their options before. That’s dangerous!
Haha yes I see several things as well!!!
OMG I MUST own the culottes and the spring chic maxi!!! Time for me to get to know Golden Tote.
Also I appreciate that many of the items are also shown on a slightly wider gal (which I myself am) so I can face the reality that the clothes won’t look on me the way they look on that size 2 model.
