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

Now on to my amazing May picks!
Out of Africa Midi Dress, Medium - Retail Value $45, Special Price With Tote Purchase $40
Sometimes when you know, you know, and that is how I felt when I saw this dress in this month’s spoilers; I knew I had to have it! The feminine silhouette is classically flattering, and it even compliments my growing baby bump (for now!). The small details like the buttons and the slit at the side of the skirt are a nice touch, but my favorite thing about this dress has to be the soft fabric (65% Cotton, 35% Rayon); it is so breezy and perfect for summer! The description did mention to size down, but I am glad I stayed true to a medium since my body is changing; otherwise, I think a small (for my pre-pregnancy body) would have worked out just fine.
Go Bold Floral Tunic Dress, Small - Retail Value $45, Special Price With Tote Purchase $38
This tunic dress was my first pick for this month’s tote. I don’t have anything like it, and I was really drawn to the pattern and the shape of this top. The fabric feels a little stiff right out of the packaging, but one wash seemed to soften it up quite a bit. I like the overall fit, but at first, I was not entirely sold on the puffy sleeves. After I wore this for a while they definitely grew on me, and now I actually really like them on this shirt. It is perfect to pair with leggings and some booties or flats for the summer, and I know it will be a staple for months to come.
Millibon Floral Cardigan, 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 updated my profile again this month requesting flowy frocks, and my stylist came through again! This girly cardigan is so cute! I really love the loose fit and floral pattern, but I like the sleeves most of all. I will definitely get a lot of wear out of this cardigan this summer whether I pair it with a plain tee or dress. Love it!
The Verdict: May’s Golden Tote is another complete hit! I’m so thrilled with both mine and my stylist’s picks, and I can’t wait to wear all three picks this summer. The quality of each piece this month exceeded my expectations, and I can’t wait to see what June’s tote brings.
