In the Box: FabKids

I was recently introduced to FabKids.com, a clothing subscription service for kids. I wish that this had been around when the girl child was little because their girls' clothing is SO CUTE! They offer clothing in sizes 2 to 12, so Alexander is in the upper register of their sizing. They had a special deal where you could sign up and get an outfit for $20, so I thought I'd give it a try.

First, you take a style quiz that results in a "shop" for you to select styles from. All FabKids outfits are usually $29.95, and there is free shipping if you order more than $49 worth of clothing. A new "shop" pops up every month and you can skip a month if you don't see anything you like. Of course, if you forget to skip, you will get charged $29.95 which goes in as a credit in your account.

This is the outfit I chose for Alex. It included the long sleeve rugby polo and khaki cargo pants.

Alex really liked this outfit and chose to wear it for his school program tonight. The rugby polo is lightweight, but well-made. We got the large (size 8-10) and it fits fairly snugly, so I'll probably have to size up soon. The pants are a 10 and fit perfectly. Alex particularly likes the back of the polo.

Each piece was tagged at $28, and that's probably about right value wise. So getting the whole outfit for $20 was a bargain. I think the regular pricing of $29.95 is a bargain too. I'm looking forward to next month's shop which is supposed to be available Feb. 1.

If you think you'd like to check out FabKids, drop me a line. I can send you an invitation that will net you 50 percent off your first outfit!!
