Le Tote Review + FREE totes--September 2016

I am woefully behind on my posts for the month. It seems like I have plans every weekend in September, and I can seem to catch up. Hopefully, I can get a few posts out this week so I'm back on track.

I received this Le Tote in the beginning of September, and it had some really great pieces in it. I've mentioned in previous posts that Le Tote is becoming my favorite subscription box service of late.

If you're not familiar with how Le Tote works, you pick clothing and accessories to add to your "closet." A stylist then picks 3 clothing items and 2 accessories to send to you, or you can add 4 clothing items and 0 accessories. This 4 pieces of clothing option is something new that they just added. You can switch between these options from tote to tote in your profile. 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.

Speaking of totes, I have 4 more free totes to giveaway. Just send me an email or Facebook message with your email address, and I'll send a tote your way.

My September tote:

1. AU Amanda Uprichard Off the Shoulder Blouse--$49

I must have been looking right into the sun in this photo. Yikes!

I have been on the hunt for the perfect off-the-shoulder-blouse, but there has always been something not quite right about them. Too tight, too loose, too short, too wrinkly. I still haven't found one that's just right. I loved the color of this blouse, and the elastic on the arms was actually great on this one. The sleeves actually stayed put. However, the material was a shiny polyester acetate fabric, and I wasn't a fan.

Verdict: Returned

 2. Uttam Butterfly Printed Wrap Dress--$41

 I loved this dress. It was so fun with the butterfly print all over it. I have another Uttam wrap dress that I got from Stitch Fix a while ago, and I wear it all the time. I really struggled with keeping this dress, but, in the end, I thought this dress is so unique that every time I wore it, people would say, "Didn't she just wear that butterfly dress last week?" So I decided to pass.

Verdict: Returned

3. Noir Luxe Floral Fringe Necklace--$9

 This was another cute piece that was fun to wear, but the fringes kept flipping around the necklace and getting tangled up, and it was a pain to keep untangling it.

Verdict: Returned

4. Kate Spade New York Palm Tree Pendant--$46

 I love me some Kate Spade, especially her whimsical jewelry pieces. I tried the palm tree earrings in a previous tote, so I thought I would give the necklace a try. It was cute, but a bit small. For $46, it wasn't for me.

Verdict: Returned

5. Willow & Clay Faux Leather Blazer--$53

My photography skills in this post are sorely lacking. I apologize for all of these crappy pictures.

I thought this blazer looked really cute in the photos on Le Tote, but I was really nervous to wear it, because I didn't want to give off a '70s leather blazer vibe. So far I've worn this to work 3 times, and I love it. It's a great staple; It's professional, yet edgy. I may look like I'm going to a Lynyrd Skynyrd concert in this, but I don't care. I love this piece!

Verdict: Kept

6. Jack Side Zip Moto Jacket--$68 (BONUS PIECE)

 There were so many pieces that I wanted to try in this tote that I paid an extra $9.99 to get an extra item. Moto jackets are so on-trend for fall, so I wanted to give this black one a try. It was super cute, but a little too short. Also, I have a brown faux leather moto jacket that I got on clearance at Target for $7, so I decided to send this one back.

Verdict: Returned

I was super happy with this tote, and it's awesome to have a constant stream of new clothes to wear to work, then just ship them back. No cleaning, and no fuss. If you'd like to give Le Tote a try, hit me up, and I'll send you along a free tote.

Happy Shopping!
