When I was first approached by Get the Label to see if I might like to kit my kid out in a full outfit (footwear, tops/bottom or dress and a jacket/jumper) for £50 I though they were having a laugh. Where can you buy all those items for £50 when your child is age 9 and wears age 12/13 clothes? Yes it would of course work if I was heading to a charity shop but this is all brand new gear and not just that it is designer clothes that Get The Label sell, hence the name!
Miss M was off school poorly on the day the
email arrived and as she had been sick she could not go into school but
realistically she wasn't too bad, so I gave her the challenge to take her mind
off the aching tummy.
Now Miss M considers herself to be a bit of a
fashionista, she knows what the newest trends are and she is happy to spend her
own money on clothes that she loves but left to her own devices she would
normally choose things that are far too old and revealing for her. I was
therefore super pleased when about an hour later she showed me her choices and
she had decided to kit herself out in a running outfit.
I think she did a fabulous job, let me share
with you what she choose -
- Converse Junior girls static leggings £10.12 (should retail at £19.99)
- Sketchers infinity vest £4.49 (should retail at £15.99)
- Sketchers girls junior flash fleece zip hoody £12.99 (should retail at £34.99)
- Adidas junior girls essential t-shirt £9.99 (should retail at £15.99)
- Henley's women's Classic trainers £12.99 (should retail at £39.99)
Every item (except the trainers) were Miss M's
original choice, so I was impressed that Get The Label obviously have good
stock levels of the items in the clearance section. Sadly she wanted some
bright pink trainers but they had gone in her size by the time we ordered, I
should have realised as they did flag as 'low stock'.
The total cost of the five items in Miss M's
outfit (well more than an outfit as she has two t-shirts) was £50.58 so she
ended up going slightly over the budget but only because the £8.69 pair of
trainers she wanted were no longer available in her size. If she could have got
those the total would have been £46.28, a total bargain I'm sure you'll agree.
The really shocking thing is what the items
would have cost if we were buying them off the peg without any reduction -
£126.95, what a complete difference!
But anyway pictures speak far louder than words,
so let me show you Miss M's choices in action as she took some exercise and
went for a run after school on Friday.
I'd not heard of the Get The Label site before
but I'll certainly be back to shop there again. The clothes arrived really
quickly, were securely packaged and we're all tip top quality, just as you would
expect from brand names such as Converse, Sketchers and Adidas.

Disclosure: We received the clothes free of
charge for the purpose of this post but I was not instructed what to write and I
remain honest.
