American Girl New Clothing Releases

Today, I thought I would share my frequently-requested reactions to some of the newest American Girl clothes. (Okay, okay so maybe nobody actually requested my reviews of these new outfits, but I like to be proactive. Therefore, all of you who are sitting in front of your computers, looking at these lovely articles of clothing, scratching your head and wondering, "Hmmm I sure wish I knew what Viv thinks of these new clothes. Maybe I should email her and find out..." STOP! I am going to save you the hassle of a few keystrokes because this, my friends, is for you! Keep in mind, these are my opinions (to which we are all entitled) and are in no way meant to be a professional review of these items. So, without further ado, I present to you, my assessments...

Basketball Outfit: I like it, but I preferred the old one. The shoes are really cute and realistic and the arm bands are very cute.

Lots of Dots Bath Wrap: I love the slippers and headband! While I'm not a big fan of the wrap part, I do appreciate the idea and I think other girls will definitely like it.

Cycling Outfit: This is SUPER cute! It looks like the colors could be similar to the old 2-in-1 track outfit. The shorts look so real as does the jacket. This is one of my favorites.

Easy Breezy Outfit: I really like this. I think it would be great for mixing and matching. The green shorts and pink shoes are very sweet.

The Flower Sweater and Skirt: I need this outfit for Chrissa and Julie. The floral skirt would look perfect with a yellow or purple top. The sweater looks very nice, but I think I would put it with something less summer-y.

Molly’s Floral Pajamas: These look comfy! Molly looks adorable in the colors and I really like the darker blue accents.

Purple Peacock PJs: THAT SHIRT! Although it is pajamas, it would look so cute with light blue capris, or jeans.

Plaid Party Dress: This dress is a perfect mix of casual and dressy. It looks like something you could wear to a dinner party or a birthday party.

Saige’s Tunic Outfit: I'm not quite sure where this fits into Saige's story. However, I think the shirt and shoes are nice looking. The pants are especially cute and would look great with a variety of other tunics and dresses.
                                                             
School Days Outfit: At first I wasn't too sure about the outfit. Now I see it as one of my favorites! The green top is cute on SO many different levels. The yellow flats? Sold. The jeans are plain, but in my opinion, basics really help my collection.

Silver Stich Hoodie for Dolls: Cute! I would actually wear this myself. It looks SO comfortable and I love the lining. It almost looks like a human-sized hoodie because of all the details.

Striped Hoodie outfit: I really like this. Skinny jeans and a hoodie with a design and stripes? I think that combination is pretty trendy. I would wear something like this.

Sweet Spring Dress: At first, this dress was kind of different, in my opinion. I wasn't sure what color it was, but after seeing it in pictures and videos, I think it is cuter. While it wouldn't be my first pick, I do really enjoy seeing pictures of it. It looks very sweet on #27.

Talent Show Set: My favorite parts of this are the headband, ball, hoop, dog collar, and the pet stand. The dress is very unique and it does look like a talent show set. I think this photo makes it look very odd, but when I saw it on #53 in the catalog, I was shocked at how much different it looked.

New Track Outfit: I have the old 2-in-1 track outfit and I really love it and always have. While I was a little disappointed to see it go, I am happy that they made a new one in its place. I really like this outfit, and I am sure it has the same quality and play value as the older set.

Tropical Bloom Outfit: So cute!! Simple and comfy. I really like the style of the top, and leggings, of any kind, are pretty hard to beat. (I use leggings in most of my outfits!) I love that everything coordinates, but isn't "matchy-matchy."

Witch Costume: This costume makes for a very cute witch! I can see little girls around Halloween dressing as witches and carrying their doll around in this outfit. The boots are so cute and I really think they look like some of the boots that people wear now. The corset is a very cute touch and the hat and broom look darling with the outfit. The dress has a very witchy look to it and I love how all of the pieces come together to make this costume work.

So there you go, those are some of my never-before-requested but sure-to-be-life-changing personal opinions about the new outfits that American Girl has recently released. Next time I will cover my thoughts and feelings on some of their furniture and/or accessories. (I know, I know. What ever will you do with the 12.3 seconds I just saved you by not having to request that review either?! It's like I'm some kind of mind-reader. Spooky, huh?) Stay tuned and thanks for reading!
