My July 2015 Golden Tote arrived this weekend and there were some good surprises and some just “enh”.

Here are the boutique items I got this time.

All Tied Up Printed Sandals – $20

They recommended going up a half size so I went with 8.5 and they seem to fit well.  I wore them this weekend with black shorts and a red top.

Mardi Gras Bracelet Set – $14

Haven’t worn these yet, but they are cute in person.

Silver Metal Layered Necklace – $15

 

And here are the tote items.

Chosen Item 1 – Embellished Eyelet Tank

I normally don’t wear racerback tops like this but with the heat I decided to give it a try.  It’s a nice soft fabric and I can’t wait to wear it with shorts (the proportions don’t suit me with capris).

Chosen Item 2 – Draped Crossover Blouse

Surprise Item – Bo Bel Pocket Tee with Crochet Trim (Green)

I wore this to work paired with white jeans and a blazer from an older Golden Tote.

Surprise Item – Skies are Blue Floral Lace Detail Kimono

Not thrilled with another kimono but it’s a nice color.

Surprise Item – Le Lis Side Bow Dress

Surprise Item – Miss Love Black Tank with Sheer Panel at Hem

Very basic piece but rather boring.

Overall Impressions

The July Golden Tote came with some pretty dark and boring surprise items, especially since I had seen a spoiler email with some of the cute patterned tops they were giving away.  I had hoped to see the polka dot top or the ikat print tee but only got dark boring stuff.  Maybe next month will be better.
