Despite the brisk weather, shorter days, and darker nights, there is a certain warmth to this season. Perhaps it is because this time of year is often defined by tradition and nostalgia…memory-making that fills our hearts with joy and leaves a permanent imprint on our souls. As a parent, I cherish the grand moments during the season…the sparkle in my daughter’s eye when she sits on Santa’s lap sharing her hopes and dreams for Christmas…the way my son’s face lights up when he has finally mastered ice skating. But one thing I always try to tell myself is not to miss the in-between moments…those moments where my daughter gives me a hug as we’re watching A Charlie Brown Christmas or my son tells me that I’m the best mom ever after we’ve strung lights on the Christmas tree.
One of my favorite ways to capture these beautiful, often simple moments of the season is through photographs. And because I love dressing my kids up in cozy sweaters, leggings, and flannels, I stopped by my local OshKosh store to pick up a few winter essentials and a special holiday outfit for each of my kids. Both of my kids already have a sense of their personal style, so during our latest shopping trip in San Clemente, I allowed them to select several items in order to put together a winter outfit and a holiday outfit.
Graphic Tees are trending this Fall and Winter, and OshKosh offers an expansive selection which really give kids free reign to express their own personal style. Available in both short and long-sleeve, these graphic tees are comfortable, stylish, and versatile. And at just $5, they are too cute not to pick up a few!
My son lives in jeans, so we paired his tongue-in-cheek graphic tee with OshKosh’s Classic Jeans, which we find are ideal since they feature an adjustable waist and are neither too tight and skinny nor too loose and baggy. The fabric (100% cotton denim) on these jeans is thick enough to withstand all of the rough and tumble you would expect from boys, yet comfortable enough to wear everyday.
My daughter’s leggings are the girl equivalent to my son’s jeans. You’ll find her wearing colored, sequined, patterned versions of these wardrobe essentials throughout the year. Perfectly timed for the holiday season, we picked out 2 pairs of leggings that sparkle to pair with her graphic tees. These leggings are made from a cotton blend and are ultra-comfy, versatile, and stylish. My daughter wears them both as is and under skirts and dresses during the winter when she needs an extra layer of warmth.
My daughter picked out these adorable pink boots to complete her outfit. Their shorter height means my daughter can wear them comfortably throughout the Fall, Winter and Spring seasons.
The holiday outfit has been a tradition since I was a child, and each of my kids have had a new one every year since their birth. In the past, I’ve stuck to tradition, outfitting and coordinating my kids in beautiful reds. But this year, I’ve noticed that holiday fashion is trending towards more non-traditional winter colors like silver and blue. Our local OshKosh store offered several beautiful holiday outfits in non-traditional colors, so we opted for a blue color scheme this year.
My son is sporting OshKosh’s Ski Lodge Pullover Sweater, which features rugby stripes, a quarter zip design and a mock neck for those brisk winter days. Paired with jeans, the sweater adds a sense of class to his outfit. Even when we’re not visiting Santa or taking the requisite family photo, this sweater can be worn over tees for added warmth.
As soon as my daughter saw OshKosh’s Sparkle Sequin Lace Skirt, it never left her hands. We paired it with the Sparkle Varsity Sweater, a pair of navy tights, a Glitter Bow Headband, and boots to complete her look. I appreciate the fact that my daughter can wear each of these items separately throughout the year since they aren’t necessarily holiday specific.
This holiday season, OshKosh wants to celebrate those special moments in your child’s life…those moments where you see the magic of the season come alive. I encourage you to visit OshKosh.com or your local store to preview their entire winter and holiday collection.
