Carter’s, OshKosh, and Puma – a recipe for a super cute outfit

After getting several compliments on my daughter’s outfit this morning I thought I would go online and find links to the pieces she’s wearing and share them with my readers.  The main reason being.. that the clothes were so inexpensive and I feel obligated to share the incredible deals I got with my readers. 🙂  I can’t for the life of me though, find the sweater and long sleeve top Madelyn’s wearing. on the Carter’s website  so I’m a little frustrated about that.  I did find the OshKosh Vintage Dark Trouser Jeans she’s wearing on Target’s (I bought them in the store.. on a whim) website.  I just love the way the OshKosh Vintage Dark Trouser Jeans fit Madelyn.  The boot let style gives her legs plenty of room to wiggle while the waist is nice and fitted.

Silly me..

A Carter’s store opened near me a few months ago, or maybe a year ago, but I hadn’t been in the store until recently when I went in to kill a few minutes before a Dr’s appointment.  30 minutes later I left with $60 less in my wallet and 10 new pieces for my 4 year old!  How amazing is that? I can’t believe there was this gem of a store so close to me and I hadn’t even been.  Silly me.  I got Madelyn a pair of unicorn pajama’s, a sweater vest (photo above), 4 long sleeve tops, and four pairs of leggings for just $60.

Adorable organic play clothes for kids at Dadoo Kids

I’m always on the lookout for cute, comfortable clothes for my kids.  Madelyn, my 4 year old is all about wearing yoga pants and comfy tees.  But a problem arose..  she wants to wear yoga pants and comfy tees to school everyday and we all know that there are only so many pairs of yoga pants and comfy tees available at clothing stores.. and they all look the same – not a great thing when she should look like she’s wearing a different outfit every day.
I see all these little girls at Madelyn’s school, dressed to the 9’s but the kids don’t always look like they’re comfortable. I want Madelyn to look cute AND be comfortable which is why I don’t have a problem with her wearing yoga pants and tees to school most days.  Given that, I was very excited when I learned about Dadoo Kids, an online store offering cute, comfortable organic clothes for babies and kids.  Now Madelyn’s school outfits can be comfortable and cute at the same time!

With two young ones of her own, designer Christine Miller Kelly was inspired to develop a line of playful, modern, and super comfortable children’s clothing that simultaneously celebrates the joy of being a kid (no rush to look like an adult!) and the realities of day-to-day play.
