This is an outfit I have wanted for awhile and for the most part, it did live up to my expectations. I like that while it is pink, it has a subdued color palette. I think even book-character-Kit might go for this outfit if she HAD to have a pink outfit because it's a bit grown up and doesn't scream "girly" the way her new nightgown or Summer Dress do. I like that it uses brown and taupe as neutrals because we don't see that as much from AG. I also think this outfit is great for mix-and-match, even for modern girls, and you get a lot of pieces for the price.
Sweater - Mine seems to fall a bit oddly. I thought at first I maybe had it on upside down, but I didn't. I managed to arrange it better than it looked when I first tried it on Kat, but it still looks a little off to me. Almost like it's a size too big? I like the material though. I thought it would be stiff, but was pleasantly surprised that it was not and feels soft. Good idea, still iffy on the execution. Grade: B
Shirt - Cute, could have done with a slightly smaller pattern (I think that would look a bit more in-scale for the dolls) but it's still pretty and not overwhelming. I like the collar. The material is a bit stiff, but I think that helps the collar keep its shape. Grade: A-
Skirt: It does feel like wool - not sure if it's real but quality material. It could probably work with other blouses you have for Kit. The belt is attached, and I was worried about that not causing it to look right, but it lays fine once you get it on. The skirt has elastic in the back which is helpful with getting it on/fit (seems to fit perfectly and not too hard to get on) but I'm glad it's only in the back (for aesthetics). Grade: A
Shoes: I had no problem getting them on or off. They are brown t-straps with pink detailing. Yeah, I doubt Kit would have this many shoes, but I am a sucker for doll shoes and these are unique. While it might have been nicer if they were plain brown (for mix-and-match purposes), the pink detailing isn't that obvious. Grade: A
Socks: Thick and a similar color to the sweater. Otherwise, pretty standard AG socks. Mine do stay up pretty well. Grade: A
Hat: I think the hat is really adorable! I love the shape. I have no problems or complaints about the hat. Grade: A+
Overall Grade: A-
