My friend had decided to give up her SF and give Le Tote a try. Just to give you some background, Le Tote is a subscription service in which you place items in your closet to try and your stylist picks 5 things for you to try. It's 3 clothing items and 2 accessories. You pay a monthly fee of $59 and you get to keep the clothes for as long as you would like. Oh, did I mention that the monthly fee covered THE WHOLE MONTH?? Meaning, you can get unlimited boxes (averaged around 3-4) for the whole month. Just send back the clothing and a new one will be shipped out to you. There is also a maternity option for $69, so you could start in regular clothing and switch to maternity wear when the time comes while not being cut off! You also don't have to worry about washing anything as the dry cleaning is taken care of for you...how great is that?! Like something that was in your Tote...no problem! You have the option to buy anything that you fall in love with! The clothing comes from stores like Nordstrom, Lord & Taylor, Nasty Gal, Piperlime, etc.
If for some reason there is something in your Tote that you don't like that your stylist has chosen, you have 24 hours to switch out things that you don't want sent to you.
I love the clothing subscription boxes because it takes the guess work out of finding clothes and actually going out shopping. It is also great for those who are limited with time. If you're like me, I DESPISE shopping in stores so it's online shopping for me all the way!
Here is the preview of my first Tote:
As you can see, I played it safe with this one. I chose things that I would actually wear to work, and things that fit well together in multiple outfits. I'm really excited about the pink trench coat!
UPDATE: I received my Tote today and here's what it looks like!
 |
| My husband was taking these...don't mind the flipped part!! |
 |
| Paired it with plum tights! |
 |
| Close up of the shirt...love the pattern |
 |
| Hid the baby bump well! Love this shirt!! |
Overall I would say that this was a great first tote. I would love to buy the whole thing, but unfortunately, I'm not making it rain like that! I still have to wear the trench coat but the weather has been so finicky in these parts that it hasn't been warm enough!
If you want to try out Le Tote, here is a referral link and it can save you $25 off of your first box! Let me know what you think :)
