Golden Tote Review - February 2015 

This month my mom and I were able to order a $149 and $49 tote.  We ended up loving all items in our totes this month.  We're also super excited for the new GT website coming this March. 

Picked items

$149 Tote: My picks

Cozy Knit Cardigan
Potter's Pot Lace Blouse
Faded Indigo Joggers

Quilted Vest in Blue
Miss Love Plaid Shirt
Faded Indigo Joggers

For cardigans, vests and jackets, I usually size up to size large for an oversized look.  I love the soft knitted material of the cozy cardigan - pretty sure I've work this cardigan every day since I got it.  The quilted vest is also perfect for slightly chilly days.  It came in blue, white, black gingham and orange gingham.  I also purcahsed the Faded Indigo Joggers from the boutique since I didn't know how they would fit.  Got a size large and they fit perfect (and have the comfort of workout pants in jean form!)

Cozy Knit Cardigan

Cuddle up with your favorite love bug for the last few weeks of winter in this cozy knit cardigan. Mom and I both love our cardigans. For reference, she's wearing a size M.

Surprise Items

$149 Tote: 

• Miss Love Plaid long sleeve shirt (pictured above with the quilted vest)

• Hourglass Lilly Blouse in blue and white. My mom and I love this blouse so much - mom keeps trying to steal it.  I'll have to find her one of her own from the trading group. 

• Newbury Kustom  in blue. Cool and soft to the touch, this blouse is a perfect transitional item from winter to spring - especially in warmer climates.

• Lime Chili gray dress with plaid accents. I haven't worn this dress yet but will likely style it with a belt and boots for work.

Golden Tote Trading group:

My mom and I had ordered mystery totes in January. For my birthday she surprised me and gave me a puella swing top I had been eyeing. Unfortunately, I had liked it so much I actually traded for it in the trading group! So I traded that top when it came in for this lovely Potter's Pot lace blouse (Love it too!)

Verdict

Surprisingly I kept everything (which I didn't think I would - I snuck a peak at my codes).  Mom also loved her $49 tote and a few of my surprises. This month marks my 1 year anniversary with Golden Tote.  I can happily say it has been a wonderful year and I will continue buying Golden Tote.  With spring fast approaching (it's already here in CA) it's also time for some spring cleaning!
