After a long week, there's no better feeling than going out to unwind. While I love my job, I also look forward to meeting up with the ladies or going on a nice date after work. The problem is, even though I have tons of clothes in my closet, I always wear variations of the same three outfits to work and end up picking the same two dresses for dates. It's not that I don't shop, I may shop a bit too much, but still come back to these staples.
To top it off, my wardrobe keeps growing with things I've only worn once or twice, or never - and I'm not alone. My best friend, Jenn, was telling me some stat she read about how 80% of the clothes women own are worn less than three times - that's insane! But I definitely fall into that category sometimes. Recently though, I got to a point where I was wanting to wear new outfits without feeling like I was wasting money and closet space - and that's when Jenn told me about her solution: Le Tote.
Le Toteis an online fashion subscription service that lets you rent clothing and accessories once a month. When Jenn signed up, she took Le Tote's style quiz, and they created a box with recommended clothing items and accessories to match her look. With each month comes a brand new Tote. All she had to do was mail back her original Tote in the prepaid envelope - for anything she wanted to keep, she could buy it for way less than retail! She has a new look every month. One time she was rocking a cute BCBGeneration ruffle top, the next month she was wearing a gorgeous Vince Camuto crewneck. Plus, Jenn said she didn't have to worry about laundry because they take care of it for you (huge plus). This sounded like the perfect fashion solution for me, so I signed up.
In my first Tote, I wanted some styles for work and some for going out. I sent the first few orders to my office so I could have a set of clothes to throw on after work. They came neatly packed in the box and I couldn't wait to try them on. After changing and checking myself out in the bathroom mirror, the look and fit was unbelievable. Normally sizing is so difficult to get right from brand to brand, but Le Tote matched me with items that fit my measurements to a T. Even better, I kept getting compliments from coworkers and friends and even had strangers approach me to ask where I got my sweater or my wide-leg slacks. After a few Totes, I didn't need to review my selection before receiving it, because Le Tote understood my style so well. It was like having my own personal stylist.The best part is, when I'm done wearing certain outfits, I just send them back in the prepaid bag and get a new Tote delivered in no time.
Signing up for Le Tote has been a fashion game changer for me. Now, I don't have to keep buying new clothes I'll never wear, instead I can simply return the clothes at the end of the month when I'm done with them. Not to mention the fit is always fabulous and the designers and brands like French Connection and Calvin Klein are well made and trending. It's reassuring knowing that I can have a brand new look on the way every month - it's the best style choice I've made in ages. If you're anything like me and want to switch up your look (and actually wear the clothes in your closet), try Le Tote and see what it can do for you.
