I had heard several times, from friends and other bloggers, about services where they mail you a package of clothing items that you can try on in the comfort of your own home, and then you decide to either keep them or return them. I was always curious to try one of these services so imagine how glad I was when Golden Tote reached out to me to offer their service. They offer two options, the $49 tote of 2-3 items and the $149 tote of 5-7 items.
I have to admit though, I’m always a little apprehensive about having other people pick out clothes for me because I have my own style and know right away if I like something or not. The good thing about Golden Tote is that they let you choose one or two of the items in your tote. They then pick out the other “surprise” items based on a style profile that you fill out ahead of time. As it turns out, one of the surprise items, the floral top, ended up being my favorite one. In the case that one of the items ends up not being a good fit or not your style, Golden Tote has a trading group on Facebook where you can exchange these items with other members.
It was fun playing dress up with the items I received. The best part was that most of the items paired very easily with existing pieces in my closet. Below are four looks incorporating my favorite items.
top (c/o Golden Tote) | dress (similar) | booties (similar) | bag (similar)
top (c/o Golden Tote) | skort (similar) | booties (similar) | clutch (similar)
dress (c/o Golden Tote) | vest (similar) | belt (similar) | clutch (similar) | slip-ons
skirt (c/o Golden Tote) | striped tee (similar) | denim jacket | sandals | clutch (similar)
Tote with clothing items were provided by Golden Tote for review purposes. All opinions are my own.

I’ve never used any of these services either but I’m so curious because I see so many bloggers trying them & getting great pieces. I’m apprehensive too but your items are all great love the multicoloured top!

Interesting service. The other day I watched two youtubers swapping fashion items and I thought that was fun, too.
Golden Tote did a really good job, all the pieces seem to be perfect.

I love the coloured top and the plaid shirt. I just voted for you too!
Thanks Lorna! I appreciate you voting for me!
I love these pieces and bags like this are such fun.
You nailed all the looks!! And I wish that floral sweatshirt would have been one of my surprises!! I love it too!! Golden Tote is so much fun, right?!
Like you, I’d also be a little uncomfortable having other people pick out clothes (or cosmetics) for me in one of these box subscription services. It must come from that “I shop alone” gene we share! Or maybe it’s an Aquarian thing! At any rate, they picked out some nice pieces. I like the plaid shirt and will be interested to hear whether it’s “the one” for you. Or maybe just the first one this year!

I’ve never used one of these services either but it looks like you chose a good one. All the looks are great, I especially love that black skort with the top on you.

I love the plaid shirt and how you tied it. Love the shirt dress too. Lovely looks.
Omg, I am SO in love with the white dress paired with the plaid button up and booties! What a great idea for taking a summery dress into fall!

Darling outfits! I love the jagged edge skirt!
I’ve never heard of Golden Tote but thank you for sharing! I must check it out sometime!
I have tried Stitch Fix, but I have never tried Golden Tote. I have seen one other blogger review their pieces, though! My favorites are the denim dress and the grey skirt! I am sure it was fun to receive a bag of clothes in the mail to try on!! 🙂
I love how you styled the flannel, I would never think to layer it over a dress. It looks so cute!
I have never heard of this company but I am definitely going to check it out! I love how you styled each one of these looks! So so pretty!

Such great versatile pieces Cynthia and you styled them beautifully. The 2nd and 4th outfits are my favorites Love it all, though.
What a clever idea! I would never think to let someone else pick out clothes for me – I may have to try this. Love the outfit with the floral top and envelope skort – it’s super cute!
