Grade: A -
The Good:
I saw this and it reminded me instantly of a ski bunny outfit from an old 1940 or 70s film (Yes, I can't get my eras straight
). So of course I had to get it. The boots, I admit, were the pushover. They're adorable. The fluffy trim and write strappies are the perfect accents to a popular style. I also liked the psuedo-mongolian fur trimmed vest, and the furry headband. The white textured tights do seem heavy, and look cute under the boots - even if they aren't quite practical. The vest, boots, and tights are all really well made and practical. Something you may not know (I didn't) is that the long sleaved shirt is actually a leotard. Whether you like the shorts or not, the detailing on them is very cute. The bits and pieces of this outfit are great for mix and match with other outfits, I think.
The Bad:
Hm... First of all, the leotard shirt. Ok. Making it a leotard so it doesn't need to tuck in, I get that. The only problem is, the material is scratchy and thick, unlike what you would expect. The shorts in turn are tight enough that you can see the folds of the leotard underneath - ick. Also, I do question the idea of shorts ... wouldn't a little skirt have been cuter? Maybe if they were more of a formal look, like little pleat shorts, rather than weird velvet gym shorts. Oh well.
