Carter’s Coupon, Fall Kids’ Fashions & a Giveaway
Something I didn’t expect about motherhood was how much fun it would be to dress my kids. I love all aspects of it – the little sizes, the timeless style (I try not to go too trendy), the creativity of putting together sweet outfits (especially for Adeline) their reactions to new clothes, etc. – it is all so fun.
A brand that I go back to again and again is Carters, which is why I was delighted to be invited to write a sponsored post about their fall kids’ fashions. They sent me a gift card to do a little shopping of their new fall trends, and I also have one to give to one of you (keep reading).
A Carter’s trend for girls are vintage patterns like ponies, puppies, floral – things girls love to wear. I had such a hard time picking out something for Adeline because I loved everything in the collection. I eventually landed on this dress because the design was so sweet. Paired with a pair of boots and a little lace headband and Adeline thought she was really something.
She kills me with that hand on her hip.
Another fall trend for girls includes Tomboy Chic, which is all about the mix and match – take something very athletic and give it a girly twist (e.g., sweatshirt paired with lace skirt). See my friend Kayla Aimee’s post with her daughter’s cute Tomboy Chic style.
Carter’s also is offering lots of the athletic wear for boys and girls, in bright colors and great designs.
One of this fall’s trends for boys and girls is camo. I love the classic style of this look with the dark camo. For Elias, I paired the shirt with some elastic-waisted khaki pants, which will also be perfect for the standard attire he has to wear in kindergarten this year! (How is it possible that he is going to kindergarten?!)
Another trend for boys are fresh plaids. I love boys in plaid and Carter’s styles are so classic. (I’m pinning for Carter’s this week and you can see some of their awesome plaid designs, as well as plaid projects on their Fresh Plaids board.)
My kids are still mostly in toddler sizes, although Elias is wearing more and more straight 5s instead of 5T. Thankfully, he’s far from growing out of Carter’s because they have recently expanded their sizing to 7-12.
Isn’t that awesome? I have already noticed that it is more difficult to find age-appropriate clothing for older kids. Carter’s is committed to classic, age-appropriate clothing and I already know that their quality is something I can count on. Hooray for expanded sizing! (If your local store doesn’t carry the expanded sizing, you can definitely find it online.)
Right now everything at Carter’s is 40% off (online and in stores) until August 5th. You may also use this 20% off coupon to sweeten the deal even more!
Also, as a girl who loves to save money, I would be remiss to not mention Carter’s customer loyalty program because it’s simple and amazing. For every $50 you spend (on anything in the store) you get a $10 credit to use on your next purchase. And it’s not like gymbucks, where you have to spend a certain amount (like $25 off of $50). You could literally walk back into the store and spend $9.99 and not pay a dime. Awesome, awesome, awesome. No joke, earlier this month, I bought 34 items for $237 (before tax), so I got $40 in rewards (had I realized what I was doing, I would have bought a few more things to get another $10!).
I then went back to Carter’s and stocked up on PJs and summer clothes for next year for the kids, and thanks to the $40 credit and the amazing sale going on right now, I paid next to nothing for a huge bags of clothes (items were as low at $2.99 a piece!).
So run to Carter’s to take advantage of this sale.

I would LOVE to win this give-away. My kids are 3T, 6 and 7 and the style fits our family perfectly. 🙂 By the way, the pictures of your kids are so stink in’ cute!
So cute – both the kiddos and the clothes! Would love to win the gift card for my girls!
I have loved Carter’s for my little boy. You can’t beat their pajamas! I’m happy to hear they have expanded sizing as well! I will have to check them out for fall clothes.
I love Carter’s! Especially their pajamas…they are the only fleece pj’s I buy for my kids. I took a look at their fall line and I’m quite sure if I won this, my daughter would end up with the bird dress or the puppy dress for kindergarten this fall. It’s all so cute!
Oh, I LOVE the vintage style! I too have noticed it’s harder to find clothing for my oldest daughter (6) and I’m excited to know Carters has larger sizes now!
I love Carter’s and would love to win! I agree that it can be hard to find age appropriate things as they get older. I am excited to see the new line.
I am loving the floral leggings and that belted twill shirt dress! Thanks for the chance to win – we love Carter’s! (And now also Osh Kosh, since my 8-year-old is crazy tall all of a sudden!)
My favorite fall style is the fresh plaids for the boys. I love the PJs for all seasons for my son. Thanks for the chance to win a great giveaway!

I would love to win! I love getting Carter’s clothes for my growing 7 month old. He needs some new fall clothes (and probably in a bigger size soon!)
Love the vintage style.
I love Carters! Whenever I have to go somewhere East of town, I work in a stop at the Carters outlet store. Awesome deals on adorable clothes.
I love Carters and we will be going there for back2school. I’m so glad they are adding bigger sizes!
I love the Fall Plaids style, cute stuff for my boys!
Carters has always been great, but I think they have really stepped it up with some different styles lately. The best part is the kids can still be comfortable….which is THE most important for my young ones or they won’t wear it!
Love that dress! And I had no idea they expanded their sizes. My middle girl is still in a 10/12 so I’ll definitely be checking out their stuff for her size!
I love Carters clothes for my sweet toddler 🙂
I like the boys Fresh Plaids.
I love the florals!
Love Carters and the gift card would be awesome!

I love Carter’s for my 5 year old son. I especially like their PJs. But most of his clothes are from Carter’s. I am looking forward to the plaids this fall!
I love the girls camo with pink bottoms 🙂
What a great post! This post opened up my eyes for the cool clothes carter has! Thanks for this great post!
Awesome giveaway! I LOVE Carters! Excited to hear that they are expanding their children’s sizes as my son is now growing out of the toddler sizes. My favorite fall look for my son would be the puffer vest over a cute plaid shirt with cargo khakis!
I love overalls and am so happy to see them again.
My little girls would love the vintage style dresses.
I have loved Carter’s since my son was born in 2003. 11 years – Carters and I 🙂 You just made my day!!!! I had NO IDEA they had expanded their sizes! They used to stop at size 7. I haven’t gone in a store in ages, because both of my kids are in a size 8. I can’t wait to be back on their list!!! Thanks for the update!!!
After having two boys, I had a baby girl 8 months ago. Shopping for her has been a dream!! Carters has been a favorite since my first son was born and I know that when I can’t find what I’m looking for anywhere else, Carters always comes through! My daughter is currently living in their summer lines, and cannot wait to see what I can find for this fall!
I like the camo! Carters was some of the first things I bought, when I knew I was having a boy!
I like the Fresh Plaids.
I think the Fresh Plaids are my favorite, plaid is always a great fall style!
Love the vintage prints. Thanks for the chance to win!
I love the Camo!!!
I love the vintage floral look!!
I am a guy that loves the camo style and think my daughter would look great wearing it, along with my son as well. Thanks for the chance at this giveaway

OMG, I love the CAMO!! My 4yr old son loves camo, his daddy is a hunter and it’s hard to find any type of camo in his size, but we love Carters clothes, AWESOME! Thank you for the chance to win!
I love Carter’s! It’s pretty much the only brand that I buy for my three kids. Last year they had these really cute zip up sweater vests for girls in the fall. I hope they have something similar this year.
I love the fresh plaids! 🙂
