Samantha’s Bird-Watching Outfit
Samantha discovers that Piney Point isn’t the only place to enjoy nature. Help her explore her backyard in Mount Bedford in her mauve coat and matching hat. Her binoculars really magnify, so sling them over her shoulder in case she spots a yellow-bellied sapsucker or another one of the birds shown in her set of identification cards.

What I got inexchangee for that "I Like Your Style" outfit and book in 2006.
The coat is a very nice fall/spring coat. It is made of a textured denin fabric. It does not feel like a par of jeans, but a flannel feel. The fabric has body, but it is not very thick and will not keep the doll warm on a very cold day.
The color is a shade of purple called mauve, which is kind of like a pinkish shade of lavender. History nerds know that mauve was a very hip color in the early 1900s, and Empress Alexander of Russia's favorite color. It is a very nice color that American Girl needs to use more of.
The lace has a pretty flower pattern.
The hat is a shade of buttercup yellow. The hat is made out of classic American Girl polyester-type fabric. Not Victorian. Anyway, the hat is very pretty deck out in the same lace and ribbon as with the coat.
The hat has an off fit. It seems like it is too big for Samantha but it is tight fit on her head.
The goodies add to the outfit. The binoculars are basically the same that Kit has in her Hobo kit, except Samantha's are painted black with a gold trim. Samantha had hold her binoculars in an akward poise that only an American Girl can do.
The cards are a Victorian-based illustrations with basic details about the bird. The cards are printed on card stock. A doll can hold the cards, but it would be nice if she had a pocket in her coat while she goes bird watching.
Hey, to be honest, I'm glad that I finally have an outfit that goes for a pretty penny on Ebay. Out of the three outside outfits produced in 2006 this is the best in terms of quality and looks. The jacket looks nice with several of Samantha's outfits (my personal favorite is the Talent Show dress) and looks nice outside and in no matter the weather. A
Edited to fix some of the funky misspellings.
