My Tote:

Maison Scotch striped semi-sheet t-shirt from Le Tote | Price $44 (Retail $59)
Jeans Stitch Fix | Street Level Tote Stitch Fix | Sandals Modcloth | Necklace Stitch Fix
Of course, I liked a blue striped shirt. I LOVE BLUE! I did not keep this t-shirt because it was quite sheer and didn't seem worth the price, but I enjoyed renting it. 

Noir Tessa Color Block Tee from Le Tote | Price $44 (Retail $58)
Just Black Skinny Jean Stitch Fix | Sandals Modcloth | Necklace BaubleBar
I liked this edgy t-shirt and I was excited to finally wear my bauble bar necklace for the 1st time. However, I didn't like the fit of the t-shirt. It was too flowy for my taste so I did not purchase it.


Ava Paige Printed Dress from Le Tote
I don't have a picture of myself fin this dress because I never wore it. I tried it on and didn't love it. I probably could have styled it casually with sandals and a jean jacket, but overall I didn't like the fit and the print/colors made me feel about 8 years old. 

Sam Edelman The Albuquerque Stud Price $24 (Retail $30)
These earrings were very unique and fun. I am a fan of Sam Edelman in general. Sadly, these earrings were very large on my ears and quite heavy so I never did wear them. 
 
Clement Houndstooth Necklace Price $28 (Retail $36)
I had a co-worker help me model this necklace haha. Don't you love her purple pedicure?! I put this necklace in my tote thinking it would look nice with a royal blue dress I planned on wearing to a wedding. It didn't work with the drastic V neckline of the dress so I never wore it. It did get caught and tangled on itself often, so I was not interested in purchasing it. 

My Thoughts
I like that Le Tote gives you unlimited totes per month, but you really have to return your tote each week in order to make the $50/mo worth it. 
Le Tote comes across more professional and serious based off their brand identity. They are definitely geared towards working professional women who need an ever changing wardrobe for work and their every day life. Imagine a professional career-driven woman who works with high profile people who would look down upon seeing each other in the same exact outfit repeatedly. (I know...that sucks).
I love that Le Tote lets you see their actual products and gives you the opportunity to customize your tote. Sadly, this does take away the surprise element that Stitch Fix gives you. 
Oddly enough, I never received an actual TOTE in my boxes. I've watched Le Tote unboxings and those women always had tote bags in theirs. So what's the point of being called, Le Tote?
 I dislike that Le Tote makes you receive 2 accessories in every box. Stitch Fix lets you opt out of that so you will receive 5 clothing items instead.
Le Tote's necklace and earring inventory is pretty extensive, but their bags/purses inventory is extremely limited and not impressive. 
Le Tote does carry a lot of popular and recognizable brands that can be found at Anthropologie, Nordstrom, ShopBop, Lord & Taylor & more! They also make it very convenient by washing the clothes for you. So just throw your worn items in the bag and mail it back!
