The August 2014 Golden Tote is available now! You can opt for the $49 tote which includes 2-3 items (you select 1) and has a retail value of up to $200 or the $149 tote which includes 5-7 items (you select 2) and has a retail value of up to $600! Add-ons are also available for an additional $35 (which is a steal).
If you are interested in ordering, head over here and get shopping! The tote is available all month, but pieces do sell out, so your best bet is to get it sooner rather than later.
Every time I’ve tried to order in the past, they’ve been sold out of size Large. I was able to get one today! I can’t wait for it to show up on my doorstep.
What pieces did you get?
What happens if you order and the sizes don’t fit? Are you out of luck or do they offer some kind of exchange?
You can return, but you have to return all of the pieces if you return.
Will the surprise articles of clothing that they send be some of the ones we see, but did not pick or totally different pieces?
Yes! I think some are surprised and some you can see!
Jamie, there’s a great Facebook page where you can swap or sell items so you don’t have return the whole tote. And you can see real women wearing the clothes in all shapes, ages, and sizes + there’s shoe/accessory advice too. I read it all the time, even though I don’t really trade, because everyone is so lovely.
I ended up going for my first tote–a $49 one with the polka dot chambray shirt. I also ordered an embroidered necklace and another button-down shirt from the boutique that was $35. Curious to see what I get!
Report back!!!
My Tote finally arrived today. I like the chambray shirt I chose, and it fits well. My other item was a Paper Crane navy dress with embroidery that was just a little longer than a tunic. It fits ok, but just isn’t flattering. And strikes me more as a beach coverup, really. So I’m going to try swapping that one (already got one person interested!) I would have preferred to get, say, two shirts instead of the dress. Is that something I can specify in my profile?
As for the stuff I ordered from the boutique, the navy shirt was cute, but the sleeves were way too tight on me (and my arms aren’t that big!). So that’s going up for swap. And the pendant on the necklace i got is much larger than I expected (they don’t have sizes on their site), so I’m going to try swapping it. Pretty sure my aunt would like it if no one wants it, so I’ll have something to do with it!
Maybe next time if there’s stuff I like I’ll try the $149 tote so there’s more of a chance of other items I’ll want.
I’m considering getting either this or a Stitch Fix subscription box. As a poor college student I can only really afford one. Which would you recommend I choose? Or if you can think of any other ones that might work better for me I would also take suggestions.
I would tend to learn towards Golden Tote then. Stitch Fix can get expensive. If you don’t like a Golden Tote piece you can always trade for something you love.
