Aloha Outfit

[AGFan1824]

Kanani's outfit includes Tee, Capris with belt, pair of Sandals, Bracelet, & Sunglasses.



This was the Kanani outfit I had the hardest time deciding on. I actually sent back the one my personal shopper got for me, I wasn't that impressed seeing it in the box. It was the display doll in the Personal Shopping room that finally changed my mind. I just loved the way it looked on the doll.



Here is how she looks with her glasses on. Personally, I like the way she looks more with them on top of her head. The glasses are cute, they add a nice splash of color to the top of her outfit and the shade of lavender pops against her skin tone and hair color.



Here is her tee. One of the things that turned me off to the outfit was how basic the shirt was, it's even white. But again, on the doll the white shirt with a splash of color looks nice against her skin tone. The shirt seems like decent quality AG. There's no special sleeves or collar like other AG shirts, but I don't have any complaints.



Here are her capris. They're basic but cute. I don't really have much to say about them. They fit her pretty well.



Here's a close-up her belt design. Again, I love the way these colors look against her skin tone.



The part of the outfit that impressed me the most was her flip-flops. They feel really well done. The sole is foamy like real ones, but it doesn't feel cheap. They made the thong of the sandal plastic which I'm really happy they did. It feels more substantial and looks better on the doll. They put those clear plastic strips to hold the sandal in place over the heel, which I don't like. (I wish they went with something that's not going to disintegrate in a few years) Other than that, I like them.



This is her bracelet. Again, it's simple but it's cute. The bead on her bracelet is different than the beads on the necklace she comes with. I like that it stretches instead of you having to tie it, which I thought at first I had to do.

Overall I give this outfit an A+.

It's an outfit that snuck up on me, but it's the Kanani outfit that I have put my doll in the most. I think that the realism put me off the outfit (in the sense that it's kind of plain and it's things you see everywhere) but the small amounts of color look great on Kanani. To me, this is the outfit that screams Kanani. It's probably what she wants to be in the most, compared to all her other outfits. I'm really glad I picked it up.

My Kanani hasn't arrived yet, so Lanie is modeling the outfit for us. Its very cute, I give it an A-, the sunglasses feel kind of flimsy.

Got my Aloha outfit in today with the rest of my order and the one thing I haven't seen mentioned in reviews yet is that the floral belt is NOT removable. It's sewn to the back of the capris where a belt loop would be on the back seam. I'll try to get pics of it but I was disappointed the belt was not interchangeable to use with the shirt and say a pair of jeans.

Like cami below, after putting it on, it's definitely not worth $28. The shirt is very thin material and so are the capris. I don't see why they couldn't have been better/sturdier/thicker material like AG uses for the AGP exclusive capris and jeans.

My main complaint with this outfit is the belt, as well.

I was expecting it to be removable (was also hoping to be able to use it as a headband). Am also a bit bothered that it isn't double sided.

Looking at the website it does say the belt is attached, but I didn't notice that, and I'm quite disappointed. I was REALLY expecting mix and match potential here.

The shirt is cute, the flipflops are cute (though seem oversized) the sunglasses are cute (though I have 3 other sets and were not a deciding factor in purchasing, for me), the bracelet is cheap (but I expected it to be), but the fact that the capris cannot be mixed with anything as I was expecting really detracts from it's "value" to me.

I probably would have passed on this outfit if I had seen it in person before purchasing, and am still considering returning it. Because of that I would give it a B.

ETA: After putting the full outfit on, I have decided that I will be returning it. I do not feel the capris fit very well, and though I like the shirt, I do not feel the full set is worth $28.

I'm not impressed by this outfit at all so it's going to be returned. I'm bummed about that because I was expecting to really like this outfit. I think the t-shirt material is too thin. I don't like the color of the capri pants. I also don't like that the belt can't be removed from the pants. I even think the flip flops and sunglasses look cheap. The only thing I like about the outfit is the bracelet. It's definitely not worth the $28. Frankly, I don't think it's even worth $24 (which is the lowest price I believe you can get for an AG outfit). If I had seen this outfit in person or had read reviews prior to purchasing, I definitely wouldn't have bought it.

I love this outfit. The t-shirt is a little thin, but not transparent. The capris are very cute, and the belt being attached doesn't bother me, as any shirt I used with the capris would probably be long enough to cover the belt area. I love the flip-flops, they feel like the same material one of my favorite pairs of flip-flops is made out of. I give it an B+.

I got this outfit earlier this week and just put it on Kanani. I looked at the how the ribbon belt is attached and it looked to be top-stitched, so I used a seam ripper on it. It came off pretty well and you can only really see the little holes on the ribbon (from where it was sewn) on the unprinted side. If anyone else wants to take off the ribbon, please do so at your own discretion.





Now for a review. I think this outfit is cute and has some nice mix and match potential. The flip flops are cute and I like the simple design on the shirt. The shirt is a bit thin but is nice for warm days. I like the capris and the bracelet and sunglasses add a nice touch.

I do agree with a few others that the belt would have been better if it was removable in the first place as it looks nice as a headband, too. However it had mentioned on the site that it was attached, which I knew. The ribbon is only printed on one side.

Overall I like this outfit and give it an A-.

This outfit is simple, yet cute, though I don't use the sunglasses much because I love Kanani's eyes. The shirt does have a tendency of bunching up, and it's almost impossible for her to sit in the capris (that's how tight they are), but the sandals stay on nicely, and I don't even mind that the belt isn't removable.
Grade: A-

I like this outfit, but the material quality is cheap. The belt could be a little longer, as it is hard to tie. I adore the little flip flops, and use them frequently with other Kanani outfits. The jeans are a little tight and kind of awkward, so I'd give this item a B. Quality wise it should be lower, but it's just too darn cute. And I like the mix/match potential.
