Netflix for Clothes! Review of Le tote and Couture Squared

Recently I stumbled upon two ingenious websites and I had to try them out. http://letote.com/r/D45B39 They are clothing rental sites that lend out an "unlimited" number of clothes to girls for a monthly fee. It's like Netflix, but with clothes and no live streaming (due to the disappointing #fail of science to create teleportation yet).  Anyway, awesome idea right?
