How Does Plaid Look on Giovanna?
Does your Journey Girl live an active life? Does she like to hike, bike, and play outside, but still wants to look nice when she is being active? Then Toys R Us has released a wonderful outfit for you. This plaid, long sleeve, ruffled shirt, with a scarf, hat, leggings and boots is an awesome outfit for the active Journey Girl.
Like all of the Journey Girls outfits this one comes in a
box with a clear window on the front.
Open the top of the box, slide the cardboard backer that the outfit is
on out of the box, and finally clip all of the little I fasteners that are
holding the outfit to the cardboard.
Once this is all done, you should be able to take the outfit off the
back.
Most of the Journey Girls outfits come with shoes/boots, the
outfit, and an accessory. This outfit
comes with two accessories!!! One that
is awesome! The other is okay. The okay accessory is the stretchy navy blue
cap. It is made out of the same material
as the leggings are. It stretches really
well, but it is also slippery and can be very difficult to get on Giovanna’s
head. Once it is on, it has only one
place that it stays on, if you move it, pop,
it comes off. The fit may differ between
sets, which is common with Journey Girl outfits. A knit hat or a hat made out of the same
material as the shirt would have been better, or at least easier to keep on her
head.
The boots that come with this outfit are mid-calf hiking/snow
boots. There is no slit up the back,
like the brown boots from the sweater outfit, because these boots have a wider
opening. They are okay, better than the
slit boots, but still just molded plastic.
It would be wonderful to get shoes that are not plastic. Or at least make a show pack that is not
plastic shoes. These work well and look
good with the outfit though.
The scarf is a very simple accent piece to the outfit. It Velcro’s in the back for easy on and
off. The really neat thing about that is
that there is fabric on both sides of the scarf so that you can twist the scarf
if you want.
The scarf can be very loose and flowy, or it can be twisted up and tighter. Either way it looks great. It is also big enough to fit on Giovanna’s head as a headband! Great accessory!!!

Black leggings are always great, because they can go with so
many other outfits. These leggings are
made of a soft cotton fabric, rather than the usual shinny, slippery stretch
material. There is a thin white fabric-lining
inside the leggings that helps keep the leggings from transferring any color
and makes them go on easier. Fit is
perfect. No issues with being too tight
or being short.
Plaid shirts seem like they should be made with
flannel. This one is not; instead it is
a printed pattern on a stiff cotton.
Probably easier to make that way and less expensive. Unlike the sweater outfit, this shirt does
not feel like it is made out of as high of a quality material. It is still very nice, and is not cheap by
any means, but just not as high quality.
The shirt has long sleeves that go all the way to Giovanna’s wrists. A skirt flair is at the bottom of the long shirt. It’s not quite long enough to be a dress on it’s own. It works great with the leggings though. Running down the front of the shirt are two pleats on each side of the velcroed middle. The pleat on Giovanna’s left side is turned under, making the pleat wavy, while the pleat on her right is straight and lies flat. This is probably an anomaly particular to the outfit I purchased.
The sleeves puff at the shoulder, but don’t look like the 80’s are coming back. The shirt has a straight loose neckline. The shirt is a great piece of a wonderful outfit.

All ratings are out of 10
Value 9 – Even though the boots are not amazing, they are better than the slit boots that most of the legging style outfits come with. The shirt is really cute, and is made well, even though it would be better if it was flannel. It is great to get a couple of accessories with this outfit, even if the cap doesn’t fit perfectly.
Fitment 9– The actual outfit is a perfect fit. The hat is too tight, but it still fits. The boots are also big, but that is by design so that they go on easier.
Versatility 10–Every piece of this outfit can be used with other outfits. It is one of the most versatile outfits Journey Girls makes. The scarf is especially awesome, since it can really enhance any outfit. All of the other pieces have lots of different uses with different outfits also.
Cuteness 9 – Journey Girls does a great job making functional outfits that are cute. This outfit is a perfect example of that. The colors are great, not the normal pinks and purples. It looks better without the hat.
Overall 9 – Great outfit that is very versatile, has great accessories, is designed well, and is cute! The boots could be better and the hat is too tight, but other than those two things, this outfit is perfect. Another wonderful new outfit from Journey Girls!
