When I think of OshKosh, I think of those engineer overalls with the white pinstripes that I wore as a kid. Well last week, I visited the OshKosh B’gosh store in the brand new wing of the South Shore Plaza in Braintree, Massachusetts. When I walked in, I wasn’t surprise to find an entire wall dedicated to the overalls that made OshKosh famous.

Originally made to mimic adult denim work clothes, these childhood favorites now come in many colors, prints and materials.

Carter’s Halloween costumes

When I had my second daughter last April, and started buying baby clothes again, I realized that OshKosh is now part of Carter’s.

Since I am a big fan of Carter’s (and have a store two miles from my house) the folks at Carter’s sent me the cutest costume to review right in time for Halloween. I had no idea Carter’s got in on the Halloween fun, too! (Check out their online girls Halloween shop. There’s also one for boys.) From dragons (check out my little dragon), to ducks, to gorillas Carters created these adorable creatures out of the softest fleece, great for those cool October nights.
