Are you ready for school to start up again?
I remember when I was little my favorite thing about preparing to return to school was allll the new clothes. I would imagine presenting myself to my all new class feeling confident and smart.
When designing this collection I thought about how my littlest customers will feel walking into school in their cute new threads, and what makes them smile. So we created this fun collection full of (garden) sparkles, butterflies, chirping birds, sweet apples and classic navy to ignite their confident and adventurous spirits.
I hope you love this collection as much as I do, and I'd be honored to see your special moments if you tag us on IG @olliejayofficial.

My favorite part about working with Kelsey is her attention to detail - the little strawberry flowers were the perfect accent to make this pattern shine! Before we got to this print there were a few we've worked on over the years, but we initially connected in 2019 when I was looking for guest bloggers, and Kelsey had an upcoming birthday party for her daughter so I sent her a dress and she photographed and featured on our budding website, and even...
