Eight is Great as Carter's Extends its Collections to Size 8! {#8isGreat}

I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Carter’s. I received a complimentary gift card to facilitate my review and thank me for my participation.

Although I love the relaxed, carefree days of summer, there is something about the structured, organized routine of fall that makes my inner self feel content. By the time school starts, I'm ready to take on homework, field trips and packing lunches while seeing my kids ditch the beach towels, stained t-shirts and ratty flip flops in exchange for clothes and shoes that actually fit.

But while there is no shortage of children's clothing retailers out there, finding one that offers on-trend fashions that are cute and modern while also being high quality and staying age-appropriate can sometimes be a challenge.

Therefore, when it is time to embark on back-to-school shopping, I have always known and trusted the fashions and options from Carter's... but was preparing to say goodbye to their clothes as Little Sister B moved out of size 7, the largest size they offered.

Until I heard (and rejoiced) that Carter's has now introduced size 8 for their latest styles!

As the leading brand of children's clothing, gifts and accessories in America, Carter's sells more than 10 products for every child born in the U.S. With designs that are based on a heritage of quality and innovation, Carter's has long earned the trust of generations of families and continues to take pride into helping bring innovative, detailed and thoughtful items to families everywhere.

Being that Carter's is such a big name in children's clothing, it's no surprise that they make it so easy to find attractive, quality, comfortable apparel for all of the little ones in our lives this back-to-school season. From the adorable photo-ready outfits to cute, comfy clothing for playground fun, there's something for every child... and now up to size 8!

Thrilled to have a reason to visit Carter's once again, I couldn't wait to head in to see all that was new and fun!

Straight up cuteness! It was everywhere in every style and every size (up to 8!!) and every color!

And, be still my heart, it was pretty much all on SALE!

While the Bright Now Sale has unfortunately ended, an even better sale has started as they are offering up to 50% off of school-day styles with doorbuster deals on tunics, long-sleeve tees, leggings and more!

As for our shopping trip, it took all of about 30 seconds before Little Sister B was off shopping for herself, fingering the varying styles and selections and pausing every few feet to oooh and aaaah over what she found that was especially colorful, happy and fresh (and in her size)!

As I expected, I loved that Carter's offers so many awesome individual pieces, outfits, ready-to-play shorts and tees, and sets that are perfect for the back-to-school season but that can also be worn long into the year and beyond.

They just make it so easy to pick out favorite, age-appropriate items that easily coordinate for newborns, toddlers, young kids just heading off to school or for big kids who are adamant in being able to dress themselves in the morning (which, ahem, sums up those size 8 kiddos pretty well).

One of the many aspects that I've always loved about Carter's is how you're able to find dressy, casual, everyday, rugged, sweet, accessories, shoes (they now offer shoes up to 3y!), toys and so much more all in one place. No going from store to store, wondering if you'll find a better deal elsewhere or only being able to pick up girl items and nothing for boys.

Even better, on top of the affordable prices that Carter's already offers, they make it even easier to bring your total down even further when they offer great coupons. Just print this one (or use the coupon code online) and you'll be saving even more!

So, whether you are shopping for something specific or just looking for the cutest fashions in ready-to-play styles and fabrics, Carter's is sure to have plenty of adorably fun items in their collections that will showcase bold, bright color, crisp classics, hip neons and many more that will work for all of your back-to-school shopping lists.

While we've always known Carter's for quality and value for babies and tots, they can now be counted as a one-stop shopping destination for our bigger kids as well thanks to the addition of size 8. It's time to get set for great fall fashion and even greater deals!

Be sure to check out all of the clothes, shoes, accessories and much more for babies through big kids in store and at Carters.com and connect with Carter's on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest for outfitting ideas, new styles, deals, special events and more.
