I participated in a Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for OshKosh B’Gosh. I received an OshKosh B’Gosh gift card to facilitate my post and a promotional item to thank me for my participation.

Back to School Shopping with OshKosh

My girls just started school last week! My youngest started Pre-K and my oldest is started Kindergarten. This is the first time since they were born that they’ve been away from home on a regular basis. So we made a big deal about it and bought new backpacks, lunch boxes, school supplies, and of course, clothes!

Back-To-School Shopping Tips:

OshKosh Outfitting

1. Mix and Match

Instead of buying cute pieces, think about the outfit as a whole. Get similar colors so you have interchangeable outfits. The OshKosh B’Gosh website actually has an “Outfitting” tab to give you ideas. They have the full outfits put together for you, all the way from the headband down to the shoes. Don’t forget the socks and undies!

2. Stylish but Comfortable

My girls love quirky tees with leggings or denim. Add a bold print or a touch of glow and they’re out the door and on the bus in style. You want them to be stylish but something they can be comfortable in sitting at desk or running in the gym.

3. Layers, Layers, Layers

Layers keep them warm outside and are easy to remove when they get hot in the classroom. I love this denim jacket with this pink flower dress. You could also pair this dress with dark blue leggings for more coverage.

4. Room to Grow

When in doubt, always go for the larger size. It’s better to have clothes with a little room to grow. I bought jackets for my girls that are a little to big for them now, but I want them to last throughout the cold weather.

5. Shop the Sales and Use Coupons

OshKosh is constantly having sales on specific items. I bought tons of shirts and leggings on sale and earned $60 in OshKosh rewards. Then I came back with my rewards to purchase new shoes after they went on sale! Find an OshKosh B’Gosh store near you for more info.

I did an interview at the beginning and the end of the year when Natalie started Pre-K last year. It amazing to see how much they’ve changed in one school year.

I love that Haley wants to be a Blogger when she grows up. Her first answer was “a grown-up” and then the said she wants to be a grown-up that works from her computer like mama. Such a sweet answer!
