I Like Your Style Accessories (2006-2009)

[Keri]

As with each AGT/JLY meet outfit accessories, the I Like Your Style accessories come with some standard items. I'm going to list them all anyway, along with the other pieces.

$5 in single bills
Pink and Purple Library Card
Blue Cloth Shoulder Bag (drawsting closure)
2 Purple Hair Elastics w/ Pink Plastic Bobbles
Coconut/AG KeyChain for Bag

It's about $20, iirc.


The hair elastics are almost identical to the ones that come with the ILYS outfit (or the ones on the doll - my #28 had two in her hair), but in a pinkish shade with the pink plastic square bobbles. They're pretty cute, though! I love the color against the brown of Beatrice's hair.

The keychain is really tiny, doll sized, and the bag is a lot smaller than I expected. I thought it would be a larger, tote-styled bag rather than a shoulder bag. It barely fits the money and library card, but it rather sweet. It's a nice, sturdy cotton weave in periwinkle with a lavender drawstring.



Honestly, I don't think this is worth $20. If they included the cute slip on shoes that match the outfit, I would be all for it. Or if they included a hat or tights or something. As it is, I'm willing to pay $10 for the set, especially since the bag is much smaller than I had thought, and I can get similar hair elastics at Target or Wal-Mart.


Overall grade: C.

I've finally got a photo of the accessories! Now you can see them without the optimal lighting and arrangement by the AG folks:




I'm still not keen on these at all. So many other playthings have so much more play value, and the little elastics you can find at Wal-Mart or CVS or wherever easily.

I do not like the hair elastics. They are too tight. I was not able to easily put Elise's hair in them.

Otherwise, I like it. The purse is roomy enough to contain everything. The magazine can be folded to fit inside the purse AND I can read the text. The keychain, dollars, and library card are all good additions that are accurate to what Elise (ie- I) would carry.

Overall I give it a B. I would give it the A if the elastics were easier to use.

I do think the bag is cute - I like the way it closes. I also like the detail on the keychain. The hair elastics are cute but pretty hard to get on. I usually end up putting a thinner one underneath to actually hold the hair and using these as decoration. Overall, it's cute but like Keri I don't think it's worth $20. I mainly got it because I collect the JLY meet outfits/accessories.

Grade: C+/B-
