Fashom Review #1 | Spring Clothing Subscription Box

If you have been following me for a while, you know that I love subscription boxes. I love them for the kids, for food, and for me! There is just something about the surprise of new items that is fun! But! The convenience of having clothing and jewelry come right to your house to try before you buy is just unsurpassed. Shopping outside the house with four kiddos in tow is one thing I just don’t prioritize anymore, so subscription boxes are perfect for me.

When Fashom reached out to me to review one of their styled boxes in exchange for a small clothing credit, I jumped at the chance. Haven’t heard of Fashom? Fashom is a mobile application that was created so everyone and anyone can share photos of their style, with no boundaries. Their global mission is to let people share everyday self expression with no filters including the mottos #BeReal and #BetterAsIAm. They want people to feel beautiful without having to feel perfect.

In addition to the mobile app where any user can post their style, they also have an option to actually be styled. This is where the box comes in! There are a few things that make Fashom different from some of the other subscription boxes you may have tried.

FASHOM STYLED BOXES: HOW DOES IT WORK?

• There is not actually a subscription. You do not have to get these boxes weekly or monthly. Instead, you can choose when you would like to have a stylist style you.
• There is NO STYLING FEE! This is huge. You don’t pay for anything until you want to buy it.
• You will be styled in approximately 3 complete outfits before you are sent a box. You get to review these items via the app and select which pieces you want (whether a few or all of them). They will only send what you like from the initial styling.
• The average price of items is $35 which is super affordable.
• You get 25% off if you select 3 or more items to purchase/keep.

I am excited to share my experience with the app (including screenshots!) so you can really feel like you are part of this styling!

REGISTRATION INTO THE FASHOM APP

First, you register in the mobile application and answer some questions about yourself (style, size, preferences, etc.). I have included a few screen shots so you can see some of what the process looks like once you register.

FASHOM: SELECTING YOUR STYLED ITEMS

After you complete your profile, in 48-72 hours you will receive some styled outfits via the app. These are clothing, handbag, jewelry, and shoe options that are still within the app and not actually sent to you yet. I received 3 outfits and with those options was provided a note from my stylist, the pieces in a complete picture, and the individual pieces with cost. Again, I want to share the screen shots so you can see exactly how the process works.

After you have reviewed your entire selection of styled outfits, you get to decide which pieces you like, which pieces you don’t, and which you are not sure about and would like to see in person. You select as many or as few as you like and they send all the items to you in an average of 12-14 days per the app (mine took 17 days total to arrive, including weekends). I selected a total of 6 items out of the 20 presented in the 3 outfits above.

REVIEW OF THE FASHOM STYLED PIECES

I received the 6 items I selected via mail and was ready to try them on and see what might work! Here are the pieces I selected:

• Round Flake Drop Earrings ($10)
• Choker Necklace ($10)
• Elephant Print Cardigan ($35)
• Faded Wash Shredded Jeans ($35)
• Vertical Striped Shirt Dress ($40)
• Floral Print Ruffle Dress ($40)

An interesting thing to note…some of the items are tag free. The letter I received with my package specifically stated that some pieces come directly from manufacturers or from small businesses without branding in order to keep cost low. The letter noted that they are quality tested and all brand new items.

FASHOM STYLE REVIEW AND PHOTOS

Elephant Print Cardigan and Faded Wash Shredded Jeans

The first outfit I tried included the jewelry items,  the elephant print cardigan, and the faded wash shredded jeans.

Second, I changed up the cardigan to see if the jeans would work with some options already in my closet.

I absolutely loved the cardigan since elephants are my absolute favorite, but it was long and fairly thick. If I lived anywhere but Phoenix, I am sure I would have kept this item. However, I just didn’t feel like I would get much wear out of it after trying it on and feeling the warmth of it.

The whole reason I selected the jeans in the first place was that I do not have any black jeans in my closet. I was super nervous to try them on when I saw they sent a smaller size than I usually wear. Since they are super stretchy, they totally worked! These are a little edgy, and I am definitely NOT edgy. I think I can still make them work in my closet [leave me a comment if you agree!]

Round Flake Drop Earrings and Choker Necklace

I really liked this jewelry and thought it was completely affordable! I kept both the earrings and the necklace.

[Random Medical Public Service Announcement: Get your skin checked yearly! That gorgeous scar running along side my new necklace is courtesy of a tiny little melanoma. Melanoma is no joke. I was never a crazy tanner and am not that old. Get checked!]

Vertical Striped Shirt Dress

Yikes. I thought the stripe on this dress was totally fun when I saw it in the app. However, getting it home and trying it on…it was just not flattering on me at all. The length did not work on my short frame and the sleeves hit me awkwardly. This one went back for someone taller and leaner than me.

Floral Print Ruffle Dress

You might have noticed that the floral print in the photo did not match the print on the dress I am wearing. Sadly, there was a quality issue so they had to switch it out last minute. Although the fit of the dress was cute with the ruffle front and tie at the waist, I just didn’t love the floral fabric. I sent this one back as well.

FINAL THOUGHTS

My styled Fashom box was totally fun! I loved that I was able to choose items in advance, knowing their cost, and loved that I could choose an entire styled outfit if I wanted to do that.

Have you tried Fashom?
