Hi friends!
Just a quick note to share an interview that I did with Kate Raddatz at WCCO regarding Le Tote. It aired last night! Though my actual interview was about 45 minutes long, my footage is only about 15 seconds, but still fun to be interviewed on the local news.
“Business woman- Jessie Benson!”
I have been using Le Tote now for several months. It’s similar to Stitch Fix in that its a monthly style/clothing program where you receive customized outfits based on a style and size profile that you complete online. The biggest difference with Le Tote is that you are renting the clothing. You wear them once, and send them back; Le Tote takes care of the dry cleaning. Don’t worry, the clothes are always impeccable- clean and pressed when you receive them. You will always have fun, trendy items in your closet to spice up your basic items.
If you really love something that you rent, you do have the option to purchase it for around 50% off of retail. For example, I recently loved this dress and ended up buying it.
What I like about Le Tote compared to Stitch Fix is that you have a lot more control over what you get. I’ll get an email that my tote is ready to be customized. At that point, I can go online and look at what I will be receiving. If I don’t like something, I have the ability to switch it out with something else that is available.
Your tote includes dresses, pants, purses, jewelry, skirts- almost anything! Le Tote and Stitch Fix currently do maternity clothing too, which seems like a great option!
If you’re interested in trying it out, please use my referral code here and let me know what you think.
If you have any questions about any of the other monthly programs, I bet I have tried them and I’d be happy to share (i.e. Fabletics, Le Tote, Hello Fresh, Lola, Elle, Trunk Club, and many, many more) I’m a sucker for these programs!
Nice work Jessie! Don’t take this the wrong way, but you look so pretty with your hair done and in make-up! 🙂 Hope your post-Richmond break is going well. 🙂
haha, I see what you’re saying Sara 🙂 Runner Jessie is not as pretty as “local businesswoman Jessie!” Ha!
I have to admit, this week of no running, lots of eating (and too many beers) has been pretty darn fun so far, but I am excited to get back to it!
Do they have something like this for dudes? I refuse to Google that myself…
I don’t think so…Business idea!
Dollar Shave club?? 🙂
Seriously, for men, I’ve heard of Trunk Club (high end men’s clothing), Bombfell (men’s clothing), and Curator and Mule (seasonal men’s accessories). I have never tried any of these, however.
Ha! Yes, I already do Dollar Shave club, which is amazing.
I’ll have to check those others out.
This is great! Where is your part shot? It didn’t look like your house…is that work? If so, it has changed a lot since I was there!!
They wanted to do it at my office but…apparently that’s not okay with the employer, and our house is a disaster right now with our remodel so it was actually at the studio.

I saw you in a preview, but then forgot to watch the news! Le Tote looks cool… definitely more on board with that vs. Stitch Fix for some reason. Maybe because you can control what you’re getting? How’s the quality?
Generally the quality is pretty good- I end up with a few Jessica Simpson or “Noir” brand- nothing high-end, but overall decent (a few items have been crappy though).
