Golden Tote Mystery Tote Review (Accessories) #2 – 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

The Tote – I love this tote. It TOTALLLLLLLLY reminds me of Pnut. I think it might be the rabbit on it, or something. I am not super sure. It just does.

I often am caught trying to leave these tote bags with people like “I forgot.”

Elephant Bracelet: I love elephants and basically anything with animals on it. I got this one giraffee sweater from Le Tote this last week and I wore it three times (I had an undershirt change so it was ok, I think, don’t you judge me young lady!). This bracelet is cute and I like how small it is! I also am digging that the elephant charm has both sides printed.

The little tag on it says “Lucky”… how did they know?

Feather hoops: These are super cute as well. I am hoping I can wear these without my ears getting all sore. It is weird. Usually I only have trouble with one ear, yet it is never the same ear that reacts. I think both ears like to play jokes on me and this is just one of them!

I feel so boho chic!

C.C Exclusives – Scarf and Hat Set: Looks like they counted this as two items so I didn’t get another item snuck in lol Oh well, a girl can dream. This set is really cute and the hat is PERFECT for someone with hair. I mean it, It could fit someones head who had thick and curly hair. For me any hat can be slapped on but this one sorta shows how thin it is. I am actually excited to see a matching set, and since it is cold in my other home (Portland) I can bring this up there and keep it at my place!

Do cold weather matching set give me away as a warm place dweller? Like if I wear a matching set like this around Seattle or another cold place will all the people somehow KNOW I am an “Outsider” a “Beach walker” if you will?

Verdict: I think I got a great value in this tote for the $30. I love every item and will be able to rock them at one point or another. I love the fact that this seemed like something they put together for my profile even if they didn’t. I have other bags that ummm were not as nice as this one!

 

Disclosure: Referral  links in this post. I bought the tote myself.

    Nope. We’ll know you’re a sand walker if you have an umbrella! People here are so weird. In winter I see people in shorts in the rain and in the summer I often see people wearing full on winter coats on nice sunny 70° days! I love summer but even though I hate summer clothes I at least dress apropos.

    I like the curls btw! The earrings are nice but I also can’t wear earrings unless they’re silver or surgical steel. It’s because I so fancy.

      LOL!!! I don’t use an umbrella do to my time in the Peace Corps. I guess I grew to love the rain! I didn’t get out of the hotel that much anyway this last mtg. I want to plan a big trip to Seattle where I will offer you free drinks to meet face to face!

      Thanks for the curl love! I am finding right now that it is easier than using the flat iron.

      I had HEARD that you were fancy. It is all over the internet about you…

        I basically have another life where I only buy luxury items and I have a fancy room a lá Scrooge McDuck. It’s filled with faux fur throws, gold flecked everything, and outrageous face serums that have like ambergris and dodo DNA.

          There is this youtube lady that I sometimes watch that LOVES doing DIY pinterest projects with a gold spray can(and those papers that do those gold flecked things you speak of). You can be like her but wear a mask and take it outside. One more way of making your fancy room more fancier without gold lungs!

          I have an amazing story about ambergris…

            Ohh?? My limited knowledge of it comes from an episode of Bob’s Burgers! Do tell =)

      Also on my first trip to Portland I tried to buy an umbrella….. I couldn’t find one at any store

      I like the squirrel because I’m a nutty nut!

        You are one of my Pnut people. Even though a peanut is neither a pea nor nut as your rightly proclaimed in a coffee talk session.
