French Toast Official School Wear Review & #Giveaway

Depending on where you live, you may be surprised to realize that school will be starting back in a matter of weeks.  Weeks!  Do you ever wonder why the school year just drags on and on, but summer is over so fast?  Me too.  The time has come for us to start looking for school uniforms, a new backpack and lunchbox, and a few other items to get ready for second grade.  And also?  I am so glad my son is required to wear a school uniform.  It really helps not to have to stress over choosing an outfit each day.  School uniforms are economical and a definite time saver for us.

French Toast Official School Wear has everything you need to get your child ready to look their best if they are required to wear school uniforms.  We usually start off the year with four shirts, four pairs of shorts, and a new belt.  Why only four?  Wednesdays are “spirit days”, or days where they can wear school t-shirts and bottoms of their choice.  It stays pretty warm here all the way up until late October, so I don’t worry about pants and a jacket until then.

French Toast happens to be one of our school approved uniform provider choices, so I was thrilled when they offered to let us pick a few items to try out.  I chose two pairs of khaki shorts, a belt, and a jacket for my son.

E.B. is all smiles in his new lined jacket.  I’m a big fan of this jacket because it’s super easy for him to zip up, it’s stylish, and it’s lined with fleece.  We usually don’t need a jacket much heavier than this here in Mississippi most of the time, so this jacket is just perfect!  It’s also water resistant for those cold, rainy mornings.  This is one jacket doing double duty.

This is the flat front adjustable waist short.  These come in several colors and what I love about these shorts are that they are adjustable from the inside.  If they’re a little too small, there’s a little elastic adjuster inside to let the waist out a little bit.  If they’re a little too big, just slide the adjuster accordingly and secure with the button to take in the waist.  Last year we had the toughest time fitting our son in uniform pants because he was basically in-between sizes.  Being able to adjust the waist like this would have been just the thing we needed.  I’m glad I know about this option now.

Belts are also a uniform requirement for our son, and this reversible dress belt is also another little item I love because this belt is also nice enough for church.  We chose the brown/black option because these are the colors he will use most in his wardrobe.

I am super pleased with our items from French Toast and encourage you to check them out for your school uniform needs.  They really do have a great selection of colors, styles, and sizes.
