Christy: What is Le Tote?

Le Tote is a great rental/shopping site that, for just $49 a month, sends you a €˜boutique in a tote. In each shipment, they include with three garments and two accessories. Each tote is filled with a combination of items you personally added to your Le Tote online closet along with items their stylists pick out based on the types of looks you’re drawn to on the site. Keep the pieces for as long as you like; when you’re done, send them back (free shipping both ways) and you’ll get your next boutique box shortly.

Want to hold on to something for keeps? Just don’t send it back. This is the first time that I’ve decided to keep an item–my rouched jersey shirt dress. It’s so easy–go on their site, log into your account to see the actual price of the item you’re keeping, then see what they will bill you if you don’t return it. In my case, they knocked 20% off of the retail price of the dress. I just fill up the prepaid envelop with all the other items and send the tote back, minus the dress. The next month, it will show up on the bill of the credit card I’ve left on file with the company.

Volia, a great way to really try it with your current wardrobe before you buy it!
