The Outfit Kit---have you heard of this?

XtinaStyles · Marc Jacobs

I like this dress:

1950's style cocktail dress size m with accessories - purse, jewelry

I don't like the concept of "already put-together outfits" but maybe thats how they will stand out...

Cortney1982 · Chanel

Well, they obviously gotten the clothes for dirt cheap or stolen. For all we know they could have came off a Kmart clearance rack!

cahabo · Kate Spade

I'm wondering how good the quality is. Just seems odd that they can sell a whole outfit for so cheap.

Hmmmm...pretty interesting. Not sure how I feel about it. I'll check it out more later. LOL

pollyjean23 · Marc Jacobs

OMG...it's like Bed-in-a-Bag!

cinderella4282 · BCBG

Frightening.

A dress, purse, jewelry and hair accessories for $35? hmmmmmmm . . .

And for $15 you can throw in shoes!

That dress XtinaStyles posted is very pretty though.

NCshopper · Hermes

Seems fishy to me. The fact that you can get a skirt, top, necklace, earrings, and purse all for $35 doesn't seem right. My hunch is that a good chunk of it is stolen merchandise.

Kelly · Hermes

I haven't heard of it. Maybe I'm naive, but I don't think these things are stolen because it just seems like flaunting it online with pictures would be the smartest thing for a criminal to do. But I definitely don't think they're high-quality, either. I bet it's just a bunch of Walmart and Kmart stuff.

bloomie · Marc Jacobs

It just all looks pretty tacky. I think the concept is neat, but I wonder about the cheapo prices.

I do like the concept, but this site itself I don't trust.

You'd be surprised. There is a major online market for stolen goods online, especially on ebay and other auction sites.

Cortney1982 · Chanel

Okay I have more to say about this. Interesting how nowhere on the website (which is a free online store builder) they have their contact information as in phone number or business address, only an e-mail outfitkit@gmail.com. They don't have their own company website.

Next it's all no sales tax but they are from New York? Doesn't New York pay sales tax?

I'm still siding by stolen goods or discount store clearance rack finds.

ILoveChoo · Hermes

I want to think maybe its some entrepreneur who's putting together yard sale/ thrift finds or something, but who knows....

as for tax...I believe they'd have to have a B+M store in NY to have to collect sales tax?

AllieGurl · Marc Jacobs

Looks like junk bought in bulk from imports from china or even bulk buys from ebay.

As for Sales tax, they would have to charge sales tax to all people who purchases IN STATE, however out of state sales shouldnt be subject to sales tax.

I would never purchase from a place like this, it looks so cheasy! For the same amount of money people could go to F21 and buy a dress and jewelry and actually see the quality IRL.
