Meet Outfit I
Grade: A
The Good:
Lots of mix and match pieces. Some very classic "basic" pieces like the white blouse, t-shirt, etc. Good color coordination, and majenta is a great "girl" color without being too barbie.
The Bad:
Technical: The shirt connects with velcro, rather than buttons, which means it doesn't look as nice hanging open. And if you leave the blouse open, you have a majenta overload!
Emotional:
While a part of me loves that the Today Outfits are such great indicators of the trends of the times, this outfit to me is not at all representative of 1995. At the time I got this doll, I was twelve, and girls were no longer wearing leggings and big shirt combos like this. This outfit is something Blossom would wear, and by 1995 Blossom had hit the realm of "uncool." So the doll felt dated as soon as I got it! However, if I just think of it as "early nineties outfit" I don't feel as bad.
Notes: While the description states that this comes with velvet flats, my set never came with the velvet flats, a fact I remember quite distinctly. Instead, it came with the same plastic Mary Janes that you get with Molly and Samantha. Of course, I forgot these at my childhood home in Washington so I couldn't include them in the picture :-(
