As with any time that AG creates an outfit that mirrors contemporary fashions, the Fresh and Fun outfit seems to be one that folks either intensely like or dislike.
I'm in the camp of liking it, since it's similar to things that my 12 year old daughter wears. It was the only outfit out of the final batch of AG 2011 releases that she wanted, and she promptly dressed Jess in it after purchasing it at the store. I think the darker colors are a refreshing choice for AG. Fit is good and the outfit has versatility in its favor because the pieces have mix-and-match potential. Even my daughter said she could do without the appliques on the skirt, which are just plain stupid, but we didn't want to risk leaving big honking holes from the seams so we left them on.
I think the outfit looks best on dark-haired dolls for the contrast of colors. I am always a bit concerned about potential staining issues with darker items but we've not had any problems. Since we like the style and think it is a very contemporary look, right down to the fingerless gloves, item gets an A grade from me.
