Carter's Fall Fashion Trends The Humbled Homemaker

Fashionable, stylish and trendy are words that I would never use to describe myself.

So I say that God had quite the sense of humor when he chose to give me not one but three little girls–one of whom is tom-boyish but girly, one of whom is–already at 3 1/2–a fashion queen, and the other, well, she’s not even two yet, but she is already trying to dress herself.

I really do see myself as a “girl mom,” but when it comes to dressing my girls cutely (and even styling their hair!), I need all the help I can get.

I recently had the opportunity to get the inside scoop on the new Carter’s clothing line for fall. Many of the clothes my girls wear are Carter’s brand, and one thing I really like about them is that they keep kids kids.

When you look at some other children’s clothing lines, especially in the 4-7 size range, sometimes they get too grown up too fast. In my opinion, Carter’s keeps things modest and tasteful.

This is especially important to me as a girl mom!

Check out some of these key fall fashion trends for 2014:

Carter's ActiveWear

Activewear / “Ath Leisure”

  • Comfortable to play in
  • Fun graphics with positive messages
  • Seamlessly add to your existing wardrobe
  • Versatile ways to wear these pieces
  • Easy to layer for fall
  • Includes PJ’s

Camo

Camo

  • Not just for boys!
  • Pattern mixing is a great way to add a new, fun twist to camo pieces for both boys and girls
  • For boys – wear bright colors, like red, with camo
  • For girls – wear floral patterns with camo

Tomboy Chic

Tomboy Chic

  • All about the mix and match – take something very athletic and give it a girly twist (e.g., sweatshirt paired with lace skirt)
  • Camo shoes with sparkly pink shoelaces; high tops for girls with pink laces
  • Cuffs turned back on sweatshirts
  • Military jacket with floral vintage print on the inside

Vintage

Vintage Prints

  • Smaller, sweeter graphics
  • Includes graphics like ponies, puppies, floral – things girls love to wear
  • Unexpected ways to wear vintage prints are available, like vintage patterned rain boots

Fresh Plaids

Fresh Plaids

  • Taking something traditional and twisting it to make it feel fresh and new for fall
  • New and fresh colors on the boys’ plaid shirts

New: Sizes 7-12!

I was really excited to hear that Carter’s is now offering sizes 7-12 in 62 of their stores! I hear that this size range is so hard to shop for, and my oldest will be in size 7 next! Carter’s goal is to take age appropriate clothing and makes it available for older kids. I am hopeful that this line will grow.

    I’ll have to go for Tomboy Chic! I only have one little girl and she has two older brothers. She likes to try to keep up playing with them, but she still likes the “girly” pretty things too 🙂

    I am very much a jeans and t-shirt girl. My almost 8 and 5 year old girls love all things frilly and girly. 🙂 My 3 year old boy doesn’t tend to care……but if it happens to have a tractor or car on it he loves it.

    Carter’s is my favorite kid’s brand of clothing. The girl’s outfits are so cute, but I have a little boy. Jeans and plaid with some tennies are great!

    I love all things vintage! My li’l one loves flowers. I think we’d definitely agree we’re looking forward to “vintage prints” for fall! Thank you for the chance!

    For me it’s all about the Fresh Plaids! Loved putting my son in those when he was little. Now I have a grandson and I love to put him in the plaids to match his grandpop!!

    I really love the vintage prints (but my baby girl is not here yet – due any day though!), but I love the plaids for my three year old son (I put those on him a lot!). 🙂

    I have 6 darling granddaughters that would be jumping for joy if their gram won. I adore the vintage prints, the Cammo & the jackets. Red headed little girls would be looking mighty fine!!!!!!!

    I prefer the tomboy Chic look; however, my independent minded 4 year old prefers to wear nothing but dresses and the vintage style catches her eye the most.

    My daughter is not going to wear dresses each and every day this year. She is strong-willed, and wears crazy layers and prints–and makes it all look good! She is going into second grade, and we could use a $50.00 gift certificate to shop–I love Carters! Esp. the skirts and leggings and shirts,….my daughter could do many things with these outfits!

    The camo for girls is too cute! I love Carter’s and I agree that they keep things fun and age appropriate. I also love that they have matching outfits for my 5 year old and 3 month old! It is so fun to have them match and my daughter loves to wear the same outfit as her baby sister!

    My granddaughter is a rough and tumble kind of girl so I am thinking that the Tomboy Chic look is just the one for her! Thx for always sharing great opportunities and info!

    I love the camo! I bought the leggings for my 2 year old and she wore them last week and thought they had to be her brother’s pants bc they were camo. She always wants to be just like him anyway so she was thrilled when she found out they were hers lol

    I love the tomboy chic outfit. What comes to mind immediately is that it is an outfit that screams, “Look, I dressed myself”! It is well balanced for an active little girl doing what she does best, play!

    I’m really excited about camo for girl’s. My son has always worn camo but I’ve never been able to find cute girly camo!

    All about the Activewear for sure! I have two little girls, the older one who’s DEFINITELY a tomboy like her mama. 🙂 We love clothes we can MOVE it and get dirty in!

    Wow, such a great selection of clothing! I would love to get the Camo dress set for our granddaughter, since her grandpa is a hunter! Thanks for the giveaway!

    My 3, almost 4, year old would totally go for the vintage chic line because of the skirt, neckless and shiny shoes. I wish could get it in my size because I totally dig the comfortable feel of it but the pretty famine look it gives.
