Le Tote Review--July 2016

I've been wanting to start a blog for quite some time, but never got up the motivation to start. Welp, today was the day that I decided I would sit down and start. I LOVE fashion and have a slight extreme addiction to subscription boxes. I've been sharing my box reveals on several social media and Pinterest pages, but thought I'd start consolidating them all in one place.

Although my blog design is still under construction, I just thought I'd jump in with my first subscription box review...Le Tote (<--includes referral link).

Le Tote Review

I've been doing Stitch Fix (referral link) for a while, but wanted to try something new too. Le Tote is a clothing rental service. Pick clothing and accessories to add to your "closet." A stylist then picks 3 clothing items and 2 accessories to send to you. If you don't like what's been picked for you, you do have the ability to swap (I think it's 24 or 48 hours). The service costs $59/month, and you can get as many boxes as you can fit into one month. This is my second box, and the time between the two was almost seamless. Once my first tote was scanned by the post office that it was on its way back, my new one was shipped. You can also purchase any of the items in your tote for a discounted price.

I'm going to the beach in a few weeks, so I was looking for beachy type pieces. Here's what I got:

1. Eight Sixty Palm Print Tank--$58

Eight Sixty tank | LOFT shorts | Camilla necklace

This is a cute tank, and will be great for the beach. It's well-made and flattering, and is lined, so it's not too see-through. I see myself not purchasing it though. I don't think I'd get enough wear out of it to justify keeping it.

2.  Philosophy Tropical Printed Shorts--$38

Philosophy shorts | Naked Zebra top  (from Golden Tote)

Gah! I have some white legs! It's definitely time to go to the beach. These shorts are also super cute. They are a fun, tropical print and have a pull-on elastic waist, and aren't tight on my thighs, which I hate. These will also be great for the beach, but living in Pennsylvania, I don't think I'll get much wear out of them to justify buying.

3. Octavia Ruffle Sleeve Blouse--$52

Octavia blouse | The Limited pants | BaubleBar necklace (no longer in stock)

I'm not a ruffle person, so I thought this was a low-risk way for me to give it a try. I do like this blouse, and it's something I'll most likely wear to work, but again, not something that I love enough to keep.

4. Camilla Floating Coral Necklace--$17 (on sale)

Camilla necklace

This necklace is going to be really cute for the beach! It has a fun, coral look to it, but still looks elegant. It's really lightweight, and for $17, I considered keeping it. But again, not too many options to wear coral in PA.

5. kate spade new york Palm Tree Studs--$38

kate spade studs

I could not get a good photo of these on my ears, so here they are in the holder. These are fun, little earrings and perfect for summer. I already have a pair of Kate Spade pineapple earrings, so I'll probably pass on these as well.

I've only done 2 totes, but so far, I've been pleased. I'll most likely take the majority of these pieces to the beach, then send them back. I think I'm still too new to the service to give it a full-detailed review, but I'll keep you posted.

Have you done Le Tote? If so, what are your thoughts.
