After stalking the selections every month, I finally bit the bullet and ordered my first Golden Tote. I had been thinking about it for a while and when I saw the plaid flannel hoodie, I had to have it. My mom and I went on a quest a few years back to find a flannel button-up with a hood and they're virtually impossible to find so this was perfect for me. This month, they're doing a breast cancer campaign and I kinda wish I had gotten a normal tote design, but I guess that's okay given the cause. They also included a Keep-A-Breast Foundation bracelet and I really like the color and design of the one I received. I'm not made of money, so this is a review of the $49 tote. |
When they showed the spoiler picture of this on Instagram, it was paired with the Foxy Scarf which I also fell in love with and hoped it would come with. No such luck, so I'll have to go buy that now! This will go great with a jean jacket for fall too! | This is the item I chose and I absolutely love it. I've been wearing it all weekend. It's great to wear with just a tank top underneath or to throw on over whatever you're already wearing to go outside. It's lightweight but also keeps you warm and I just love everything about it. It's the perfect size - which I was worried about. I had done a bit of research about how this brand sizes and I went with a small. I didn't want it to be too big and I was also hoping it would be fitted but also comfortable. It's spot on exactly what I was going for. Couldn't be happier! |
Ugh! It's just awful! I showed my roommate and the first thing he said was "could that be any tackier?!" Plus, to make matters worse, it's 95% rayon and 5% spandex! Only the two worst materials ever made! | I have no idea how to value this item because it is only available through Golden Tote (not listed in the boutique). I couldn't possibly hate this item more. I don't like a single thing about it. The fit is terrible - it just hangs off of you, the sleeves are way too baggy, the 'collar' is weird and never sits right, it's a weird length - just horrible. I already have this item listed on eBay hoping someone will take this monstrosity away from me. |
If you'd like to give Golden Tote a try, they release the new clothing options the first Monday of each month and then it's a mad dash to get what you want in the size you want (the website usually crashes too). Head over to www.goldentote.com to check it out! They offer a $49 tote where you can select 1 item and you get 1 surprise item - or a $149 tote where you select 2 items and you get 3-4 surprise items (I believe). It really can be a fun experience and a lot of people really enjoy it.
