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.
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:
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!

I love OshKosh! I shop there all the time for my two boys.
Thanks for sharing these savings! OshKosh is the best company out there for kids’ clothing.
What great outfits. I loved to shop at Oshkosh when my son was little.
Such cute outfits. I love Osh Kosh clothes. Such great pieces. I wish my kiddos didn’t need uniforms this year. I would love to stock up on OK!
OshKosh will always be one of my favorite places to shop for my son and daughter. I LOVE their overalls!
Their styles are always really nice. I love the denim in the outfits you guys got!
Love those clothes. That printable is neat also.
That dress is adorable! I loved Osh Kosh for my littles, especially in the fall when it was overall weather.
Thanks for the printables! They are so cute!
We love the clothing selection available from OshKosh and the tips are great, especially for an overbuyer like myself. I will be sharing this fun printable with my sister since my nephew starts PreK next week.
My girls are too big for Osh Kosh now, but it just means I can buy it for my nephew now instead:) Love that brand.
Those outfits are so cute! I love the printable too! Thanks for sharing.
She looks adorable in her clothes. I especially like her jean jacket. These are great tips!
I’d be pretty excited about the class garden also! I love your interview questions. I need to do this with my kiddos.
Adorable photos! My kids are out of the Osh Kosh sizes, but I loved their clothes when they were smaller.
I wish my kids were still young enough to wear Osh Kosh. I am in love with the jean jacket and the floral dress. Super cute!
I no longer have kids that fit into their sizes. Boo hoo. BUT my niece may so I will share this deal with my sis!
OshKosh is such an iconic brand. I love how they are always stylish. I also love the printable. Very cute!
