Journey Girls Trying on a New OG Outfit
Our Generation released a whole slew of new outfits this past month. A few of them look like all of the other outfits they have out, others though are very cute. Today’s review is on “Country Fair”; a very cute western inspired outfit.
The outfit comes with a pink plaid, button up shirt, a soft
pink skirt with denim suspenders attacked to it, brown plastic boots, and a red
headband style bow.
The shirt has Velcro up the front to make it easier to get
on. The sleeves are loose on Mikaella’s
arms, but not puffy. Very cute. The shirt is big on Mikaella. Since the Velcro is in the front there is
really no way to tighten the shirt without altering it. It doesn’t look bad though, even if it is a
little loose.
The skirt is made of two layers: a pink cotton underskirt,
and then a top chiffon layer. This
softens the look of the skirt. Around
the waist is a denim strip of fabric that matches the overall’s material. There is Velcro in the back of the skirt, but
you won’t need it, this skirt is big on Mikaella. The overall straps are sewn on the back of
the skirt and attach using buttons up front.
By crossing the straps in the back you can get the skirt up higher, but
it is still loose and low. It’s a bit surprising,
since the Our Generation dolls are the same height as the Journey Girls and
have the same torso length. Meaning that
this outfit would be too long for the dolls it is designed for.
The boots are the big, bulky, plastic boots that come with a
lot of the standard outfits from Our Generation. They are a little different design, but not
enough of a change to make a huge difference.
The hair bow is nice. It’s great
to have it as a headband, rather than just a clip in bow…those never seem to
stay in very well.

Value 7
– This outfit is usually right around $14. You can find it on sale for less than that
though. It’s a good value either
way. The shirt can be used with many
different outfits. The skirt is
versatile (even if it is loose). The
headband is great. And the boots are
okay. I switched them out for some that
are from an Our Generation shoe pack. But
these are okay.
Fitment 6
– Everything is big. That is
usually the case with Our Generation outfits, but in this case not only is the
skirt big around the waist, the overall straps are too long. Everything fits; it’s all just loose. Which is to be expected when the clothes are
made for a doll with a larger torso.
Versatility 9
– Everything in this outfit can be used with other outfits. The checkered shirt would look great with
Dana’s “meet” skirt or some nice jeans.
Even the boots are useful with other outfits. They look like riding or work boots.
Cuteness 9 – Very cute, but it would be awesome if it was
not so loose. Super cute western
inspired outfit.
Overall 9 – Even though the outfit is loose, this is a great outfit. If nothing else it has a lot of great parts to make other wonderful outfits. Mikaella is ready for the country fair or to go line dancing. Get it on sale for even a better deal!

I'm a bit confused . The boots look different in the pics
ReplyDeleteSome of them show plain bron boots. The other have pink on top with a different buckle
Casandra,
DeleteThere are two different boots. I missed that in the review. The ones with the pink on them are from a shoe accessory pack. The plain brown ones are the boots that come with the outfit. Sorry for the confusion.
Ah! Most of the new outfits either haven't hit our stores or were snatched up quickly. Thanks for the views!
ReplyDeleteThanks for explaining about the boots .i like the ones with the pink
