Golden Tote Mystery Tote Review #3 (Accessories) – January 2016

Golden Tote is a women’s clothing service that is not actually a subscription. You choose an option to pick 1 or two items and then fill out your profile to let them know your preferences. They will try to match your likes with the surprise items that they include in the tote!

Every month the release their clothing items and women make a mad dash to buy either the:

-$49 Tote (you choose one item and there is 1 or 2 surprise items included)

or

-$149 Tote (you choose two items and you get a 3 or 4 surprise items included)

The $49 option does not include all of the clothing options that the $149 does.  Golden Tote is shipping orders $149 or more for free. It does take a long time to get your tote. This tote took over two weeks to be shipped. I would not order this tote if you are in a huge hurry to get your items. I think it must take a great deal of time to go through each profile and match what is on hand with what will make a customer smile.

Pro Tip: Fill out your profile before you buy your tote. If you are waiting until the day new items are posted then make sure to have your profile filled out ahead of time so that it does not slow you down.

The above is just for info purposes but has no bearing on this particular tote which is a one time special they do about once a year. These Mystery Totes all have random things in them that are not paired at all with your profile. Why did I make you read all of the above? I just wanted to feel loved and listened to!

 

Cost of Accessory Mystery Totes $30 for 4 items

 

Golden Tote Review

 

Tote – This tote style reminds me of Heat because it has flowers on it and she sometimes lets us post her pretty flowers on the blog! Her flowers look better but I gotta work with what I got!

I have enough of these to make a blanket!

Jules Smith – Gold Earrings: These are not for work, but they could be for my hobby… going out and enjoying some fun! They are swingy and will probably get tangled into my thin hair. I would not have picked these out on my own, but I think I can make them work.

I could always use another reason to go out and get wild! My earrings! We MUST go out due to my earrings!!!

Statement Necklace: I am not into the colors of this nor the style. Oh yeah, it is also broken which is totes sad.

Such a sad statement it makes…

C.C Essentials – Hat and glove Set: I received a scarf and glove set in another bag and am actually happy to see this set! I love wearing gloves to cover my poor arthritic paws in the cold. I am so bad with gloves. I always lose them! These are pretty thick so I promise to try REALLY hard not to misplace one…

Mismatched gloves? Is it a style or does it just show how unorganized I am?

Verdict: I was totally sad to get a broken necklace. The necklace did not have the broken piece in the bag and so was shipped broken. I am sure they will do something about it, maybe they won’t. I just hate when companies do this. Lame. On the plus side the warm clothing set is something I can use on my travels and the earrings give me a great excuse to go out and shake my tail feathers!

    Thanks for the shout out! The tote is pretty and those are fun, going-out earrings! I’d be glad that the ugly necklace is broken in hopes that you get something better or a partial refund… that’s ridiculous though.

      Lol, you are the lady of the flowers! I really need to email them. I bet it is too late to get a replacement or refund on the one item. They can be kind of weird about stuff. Once I got a tote, it had all the items I wanted in it. But it was all size Large and I ordered a size small. I had to send back the whole tote and go through all this stuff. I mean I was totes gonna send it back but it just made the whole thing take forever.
      On the plus side they have a great sense of humor and joke right back at me. I love trying to write funny stuff to random companies when I am forced to write to them. My latest to SW was pretty good I thought, but they did not seem to laugh… sigh

      Love the pictures you submit too us Heat! Subista you should get into quilting and make a tote quilt. It keeps you warm and gives ample storage to subcription box treasures. The gorgeous blond bombshell blogger (Triple B! Take that BB creams!!!) who made millions off her Golden Tote subscription!

        Ha! I just feel like trying to be awesome takes SOOOOO much time from being lazy covered in cat hair and Cheetos dust while drinking my box of wine… Plus do you really want me to start shilling anything? I would be sooooooo annoying. “Hey, ladies! Wanna get be as awesome as I think I am? Buy my hastily made quilts I cobbled together from Golden Tote bags. *some areas may have wine stains, this gives individuality and authenticity to each quilt.”

        • February 2, 2016 at 6:26 pm

          “individuality and authenticity” love it!!!

          I hope the only thing I will have to shill would be My Pnut people’s future girl scout cookies. But maybe that would not be shilling becuase samoas are crack additive. We ordered 5 boxes from our neighbor and after I closed the door, my husband said “what if she is not the only girlscout in the building”. Those boxes and yours coming soon should be a good next week 😀

          • February 2, 2016 at 6:28 pm

            Why doesn’t girlscouts have a subscriptionbox service!?! *walks away from the iPad foraging for some snacks*

          • February 2, 2016 at 6:34 pm

            No no no, gotta fight off coworkers and friends lol teaches us how to say “No.” Plus I sorta like helping out the one little girl I picked.

          • February 2, 2016 at 6:32 pm

            I pick just one girl scout to buy from and that is that. My coworkers try to hover around me like vultures because I buy A LOT of boxes. I then allow myself one each time I feel I did well or feel like I was good. It is my own bribe to myself to do things I hate doing, but must to be a functioning adult.

            Though I made one coworker mad because she was pushing super hard about it. Thing is, I am pretty open about the fact that I already have my “Connection” my “cookie dealer” if you will.

          • February 2, 2016 at 6:41 pm

            I had the last three double-stuff oreos. I need to find something else.

            I must be a Samoa addict I order from any cookie dealer that sells them. I tried to get by with the Clif Bar’s healthier version but.it.is.not.the.same.

          • February 2, 2016 at 6:59 pm

            I am an addict as well. I keep a box usually in my car and just sorta feed off of them as I go around being “good.” I refuse to look at the calories. I think I did once and felt so bad about it that I sorta made it all fuzzy in my mind…..

          • February 3, 2016 at 2:33 pm

            Your tales remind me of Pipsqeak who when she wants treats keeps reminding us on how good she is lol.

            I try to ignore calorie counts especially with some Trader Joe’s stuff! Especially the wine country chicken salad! There is not even raisins in there I don’t get it there are cranberries. You would think there would be a grape element. I digress….

    From watching the FB page they will for sure fix the necklace issue!
    I lub lub lub those earrings with your hair. They say “it’s my party and I will down shots and do karaoke if I want to!!!”
