Journey Girl's Pink Top and White Jeans

Giovanna Tries Out a New Outfit


One of the new outfits released in September was this beautiful pink top with white jeans, gold sandals, and a floral purse.  Like most of the Japan line, this outfit is very unique.


Of all the pieces, the bright pink top is the most unique.  The gathered neckline is almost an off the shoulder design with a little bit of gathering at the neckline. 


Each sleeve is gathered at the end with a tiny bow on the outside. 


On the bottom of the outfit is a flower lace flair.


It's simple and cute, with great design.


As unique as the top is, the pants are just as plain.  Don't get me wrong, they work really well with top, they just aren't anything special.   The plain white jeans have a cuff on each leg, halfway up the calf.


They are like many jeans as far as design, the white makes them unique and a great edition to the Journey Girls line.



Shoes are interesting with Journey Girls.  Toys R Us has come a long way from the all plastic, small healed shoes that came with almost every outfit.  Still, there isn't a huge amount of variety in the shoes.   These gold shoes are based off of tall sandals that we have seen before. 


As most of the newer shoes have, these ones have the flat plastic bottoms.   A strap across the toes has a green "flower" on it.  At the heal of the shoes are straps that go around the ankles and two that go up the calf with Velcro in the back.


A pretty shoe, that is close in design to some of the other ones already out.


Another piece that is unique is the purse.    It has a gold braided handle that is long enough to slide the purse on Giovanna's shoulder.


Designed like a sack, the white fabric has painted watercolor roses printed on it.   The pinks of the flowers tie in nicely to the top.   It's definitely not fancy, but it is very pretty, and it goes great with this outfit.


All ratings are out of 10

Value 8 – With more pieces to this outfit than the blue dress, but the same quality, this outfit scores a little higher.   I still wish there were some other little accessories, like Our Generation outfits, but the quality of the outfits released this round have been really good!

Fit 8 – The top is a little loose and the jeans can be a little stubborn when trying to pull them on.  Overall thought, everything fits well.

Versatility 9 – All of the pieces of this outfit can be used with other outfits.  The top will look great with a skirt, jeans, or shorts.   The white jeans have a ton of versatility, going with virtually any type of top.  Because of the flower on the shoes, there may be some colors that don't go with them, but most things should.

Cuteness 9 – What a cute outfit! The top has a really unique design with the beautiful lace bottom.  The white jeans go perfectly with the top.  And even though the sandals are just a redesign, they are still cute.  I would have loved a different design for the purse too, but I love the fabric it is made of.

Overall 8 – Another well made, cute outfit from the Japan line.  As with the others, there are just a few little things that could be improved to make it a really good outfit.  Out of the three outfits I have reviewed for this release, this one has the most versatility.  It is worth the $14.99 that Amazon is charging.
