I come bearing lots of pictures of this outfit. But first, a few notes about the pieces:
The top is cute. I like the slight flare at the cuffs of the sleeve and the color is really lovely. The horse and cowboy picture, which I'm wild about, is a little smaller and less intrusive than I thought it would be, so I'm pleased with that. It's sort of a subtle shiny blue color.
The skirt is also very nice. The corded belt is cute, although it looks like it could be damaged with some imagination or a mischievous cat. I like the corduroy purple material and the little blue flower on it. The cut is a little different from how it appeared at first glance to me on the website- it's fairly straight down before the flares.
The vest is really lightweight suede or something and is lined with a light satiny fabric on the inside. It's not a stiff leather vest like Josefina's so it falls rather than holding its shape. The quality doesn't seem super high to me, but I'll see how it holds up over time.
The boots...yuck. They're a yucky material that doesn't look good and doesn't feel good. It's not very solid so it seems to pucker in a bit when you put them on. I've seen much nicer boots from AG.
The shirt and skirt get an A+ from me, while the vest gets a B and the boots get a C- for icky quality. I think the shirt and skirt would probably be well worth their portions of the cost, the vest mostly, but the boots, no.

Because I'm easily amused, it kinda matches Mia's undies.
Detailing on the skirt and boots
For some reason this outfit seems to have more tags plastered all over it than usual. Or they're more obvious.
The lining of the vest.
The puckering on the boots I mentioned.
