Le Tote Review #2--August 2016

My Le Tote totes have been getting better and better each month. This is becoming one of my favorite subscription boxes lately. Their service has been great too. I actually received another 3 free totes to giveaway, which was in addition to the 3 I had a few weeks ago. So far, I've introduced Le Tote to 6 new fashionistas!

If you're not familiar with the service, you 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 within 48 hours. The service costs $59/month, and you can get as many boxes as you can fit into one month. You can also purchase any of the items in your tote for a discounted price. If you're interested in giving it a try, here's my referral link. If you use my referral, you'll get $25 off of your first month, and I'll get $15 off of my subscription too.

Here's what I got in my second August tote:

1. Nanette Lepore Printed Drawsting Tunic--$104

This was a fun, colorful summer piece. If I had this at the beach, I would consider wearing just as a dress, but it was too short for me to wear to work like that, so I paired it with my white Paige Denim jeans. The only drawback to this shirt was that it was really low cut, so I needed to add a cami underneath.

Verdict--Returned

2. Glamorous Side Strap Top--$27

Sorry for the soft focus of the photo. I took this on a foggy morning before work. :)
This was a well-constructed top, especially for the price. It actually looked and felt much more expensive than $27, so it was well worth the price. The only drawback for me was the color. This orange color isn't in my Dressing Your Truth style, so back it went.

Verdict--Returned

3. Octavia Salama Easy Dress--$64

This was another great summer piece. It was really cute and comfy, and I could see wearing this to the beach also. I just paired it with some sandals and wore it to work on a casual no-meeting day. It was nice to wear once, but I don't see myself reaching for this very often.

Verdict--Returned

4. Kate Spade New York Emoji Studs--$30

 These are so cute and fun! I love Kate Spade's whimsical designs, and these made me smile. They are a fun conversation starter. I've already worn these to work, and also with shorts to the grocery store too.

Verdict--Keep!

5. Vince Camuto Station Nail Bangle--$9

 Bracelets are tough for me, because they are usually too big on my wrist. I liked the edgy look of this with the nailheads, but it was just a bit too big. Plus I usually stick with silver jewelry.

Verdict--Returned

This was a cute tote, and like I mentioned, they just keep getting better and better. Although I only kept the earrings, I know I'll get a lot of wear out of them.

If you want to give Le Tote a try, here's my referral link. Happy shopping!
