After a few years of thinking about it, I finally signed up for LeTote. I'm at a weird place right now with my closet, so I figured it was a good time to try something different. This dress was in my first tote and I knew it wouldn't work for church, because the front was a little short, and the top was just a wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen when carrying a grabby baby. So I went for the "overdressed housewife meeting her husband for lunch" look. Is that a thing? Let's say it's a thing.
Anyway, the dress was a bit too large, and a bit too short, but it was fun to wear. I think I dressed it down enough that it wasn't too weird for a random weekday.
If you aren't familiar with LeTote, it's basically Netflix for clothes. Monthly subscription, they mail you clothes, you wear and mail back. Repeat. You can either let them pick out what they send, or request specific things. For the first one, I just went with their picks based on my style profile. Each tote has 3 clothing items and 2 pieces of jewelry. Here's what they sent me:
I actually didn't wear all 5 items from the first box. I just wore this dress and the bird shirt and sent it back. The jewelry was cute, but I didn't have any reason to wear it, and was anxious to send the box back to get my next one. The striped drapey cardigan thing just isn't my style, plus the weather wasn't conducive to long sleeves last week.
For the second one, I chose specific things. I tried to pick a dress I can wear for church, and picked jewelry that should work with the dress and with Mr. Baby. I just got that box, so I'll be wearing all of those items and sharing my thoughts on it soon!
So far, I think it's a fun way to get new clothes without buying new clothes and cluttering up my closet. It's also nice as I'm between sizes and hopefully changing sizes. I wish there was an option to just get the clothes and not the jewelry, because jewelry isn't something I need to wear right now. I also wish you could send things back one at a time, like you can with Netflix, instead of each tote coming and going as one. I'd like to wear the dress, and send it back right away, rather than waiting until I've worn all of the other items. There are rumors of a maternity line coming soon, which I think would have been totally awesome!
If you are interested, you can get half off your first month by using my referral code. It will also give me a $15 credit, so YOU ALL SHOULD DEFINITELY DO IT!
This post wasn't sponsored by LeTote, although I wish it was. When exactly do companies start sending me free stuff? I'm sort of joking, unless you are a company that wants to send me free stuff.

You Le Toted?! and it took you this long to tell us?! I'm shocked and appalled. It makes sense for you. I think the drawbacks you mentioned are the exact reasons I don't want to try it out. .. even though I do want you to have $15.
ReplyDeleteOther things I wonder: How many totes can you get a month? Could you theoretically get stuff one day, wear the three clothing items in three days, send back, repeat, and do that multiple times in a month? Are you supposed to clean the items before you return them? Do they come in like-new condition? And what happens if you stain/ruin something? Is it a "you break it, you buy it" kind of system?
There IS a way to avoid getting jewelry. I forget how I did it but I did. I already get Rocks Box so I was just on jewelry overload. Rarely do I get a Le Tote where I wear every single item but that just makes my turn around mite faster!
