Like a lot of moms, my "me" time is limited. Before my kids were born, shopping was my time to relax and treat myself.

I'd go alone to unwind or I'd shop with girlfriends to get their opinions. These days I don't have a lot of time to shop, and my friends are just as busy. Even thinking about spending an afternoon at the mall seems like a luxury, and since I've been rotating the "greatest hits" of my closet for what feels like forever, I decided it was time for a change. I needed a way to update my wardrobe and add variety to my look without spending hours on the process. That's when a girlfriend told me about her secret to shopping and keeping a refreshed look: Le Tote.

My friend Michelle is also a working mom and I swear she has a different outfit every day. She looks so polished and put-together, that I needed to know her secret. She told me about Le Tote and how it's completely changed the way she gets dressed in the morning. Le Tote is a convenient and fun way to rent everyday clothing that you get to keep for as long as you like. You pick out what you want online, they deliver it to your doorstep, and you return it when you're done wearing it (no laundry!). This sounded like the perfect solution for me!

I went to their site and completed a quick quiz on my preferred fit and style. Then, I picked my plan - they have different price options based on how many pieces you want a month, and if you want accessories or not. I picked the Unlimited plan, which lets you rent as many pieces as you'd like a month (I think this plan is definitely the best value). Then, the fun part! I picked two tops, one casual and one a bit more dressed up, one pair of jeans, one pair of slacks, and a cute chunky bracelet. I liked that I had the option to change out anything in my box before it shipped because I wanted to pick things I'd wear right away. I had a conference that following week so I ended up swapping out the casual top for a blazer. When my box arrived, I tried everything on and was surprised how much I actually liked some of the pieces. The jeans were a bit too light for my taste, but the slacks were great for work -- comfortable while still looking professional, and the flowy top matched perfectly.

The best part of a Le Tote subscription is that I get to borrow clothing from my favorite brands every month, and each tote gets better over time. Once I'm done with my box, I send it all back before the end of the month. If I absolutely love an item, I can actually buy it for a huge discount! As I provide feedback on each piece, Le Tote's algorithm also gets a better understanding of my tastes and recommends pieces that they think I'd like. Le Tote has given me more time for other things and adds variety to my wardrobe so I no longer feel stuck in my "mom wardrobe" rut.

I've been dressing with Le Tote for a few months now, and I love the style and confidence it's given me. It's not only made dressing myself easier than ever but has made me feel like I have a distinct, polished look. It's become my not-so-secret fashion trick. Pick out clothes, wear them, - just wear the clothes, then ship them back and Le Tote takes care of the rest.

I'm always looking for fun ways to change up my style and add variety to my wardrobe, but I'm not the most creative when it comes to my clothes. Plus, I feel like I don't have enough time to go to a million stores and find the perfect piece to complete my outfits.

I had heard about clothing boxes that get delivered right to your door so I thought I'd do some research. After browsing my options, Le Tote is a name that kept popping up. It's an online fashion subscription service that sends you brand-name clothing that you can rent and wear as much as you like, for as long as you like.

I had some concerns about trying an online clothing service like this in case the clothes don't fit well or don't suit me. But after reading a ton of reviews of people who love the service, I figured it couldn't hurt to give it a try.

I went on the website and filled out Le Tote's member profile, including my size, brand preferences, and rental plan. I decided I needed clothes that were perfect for both a day at the office or a night out.

When choosing my items, I chose a flowy cut, tunic, and a collared shirt - I was going for a boho style. For pants, I chose skinny jeans, wide leg, and leggings. I also chose a gorgeous trench coat. Le Tote even took into account the weather in my region.

For a fixed price, you get tons of items from brands that you know and love. And whenever you're done with the items you just mail them back in the prepaid envelope. I went for the Clothing-only option since I don't wear a lot of jewelry. It included four clothing items per month plus free shipping.

A few days later, the box was sitting on my doorstep when I got home from work. I was excited to try on my first round of clothes. I got a pair of Calvin Klein jeans, a French Connection tiered bell sleeved top, an Anne Klein dress, and a Hayes light blue and white pinstripe trench coat. Everything looked exactly as good as it did on the site, and the trench was a lot cuter in person, and they really delivered on the promise to fit well across all brands.

I wore the jeans a couple of times and paired them with a few different tops. I decided to keep the pinstriped trench because I knew it'd be a good staple piece for my wardrobe. I even got 50% off the retail price! The dress was a hit at my work function, all the compliments gave me a huge confidence boost. I even convinced a couple of coworkers to sign up!

I was relieved to find out that once I was done with the clothes, all I had to do was seal them in the pre-paid return bag and send them back - Le Tote does all the laundering for you so I didn't even have to bother with washing them! Le Tote really makes things as convenient as possible.

One thing that I've noticed is that my tote gets better each time. The more feedback I give about the clothes, the more I feel that Le Tote really understands my personal style. I have the option to pause the service anytime, but I don't foresee that happening anytime soon.
