New American Girl Items

So today I got an email from American Girl telling me that they had come out with some new items. Right away I was excited because I was starting to get sick of the same old stuff. So I'm going to give you guys a review on what I think about the new items. (Just my opinion guys... You don't have to believe the same way.)

I was really unhappy with this outfit. The shoes and shorts are cute but sort of plain. My girls have shoes just like that, but in a different color. The shorts are cute but kind of blah. And the shirt...Ugh. The two patterns clash horribly. It looks like someone picked two scraps of cloth and made them into a shirt. I definitely won't be purchasing it.

I really like this dress! I love the little bows on the shoes and the colors in the dress are really nice. I also like how it comes with I clip. However, it looks a lot like the Pretty Plaid Dress that American Girl came out with a few years ago, which I already have, so I doubt I will get this outfit.

Out of all the new items, this was by far my favorite. The shoes are soooo adorable. They really bring out the color of the rose and the clip. I love how the dress isn't purple or pink and girly looking. It looks like it would be for an older girl, so I bet Quinn and Emily will be begging me for it. I will most likely be purchasing this outfit. (If I can bring myself to cough up $30.)

I'm a little on the fence about this bath wrap. First off, it's a bath wrap. How many of you have actually ever WORN a bath wrap, because I know I haven't. (I'm not saying it's weird if you do.) I personally want a warm and fluffy robe to wrap up in after a shower or bath, and this doesn't fit the bill. I wish American Girl would make another robe like they made for Emily's collection. However, I really like the pattern, and I know Sofi especially would. Maybe it could be a birthday present for her?

This outfit is so cute and detailed! It looks like a real biking outfit. I don't think I'd ever have a use for it though, so I doubt I'll be purchasing it.

Well those are all of the new clothes. American Girl also came out with a new bike, but for some reason I can't upload the picture. If you want to see it just check americangirl.com. I hope you enjoyed reading about my opinions, and make sure you comment! I'd love to see what you guys think.

Piper: Piper Jane is my newest doll. I got her January of this year at the American Girl Place. She was originally Saige, the girl of the year 2013, but my friend has a JLY named Sage, and I figured that would be confusing. She turned 8 in August. Piper is very shy and quiet, but she seems to love her sisters already. My sister adopted her biological sister, Brennan. (Brennan is the JLY with short red hair and green eyes). Piper loves horses and horseback riding, painting, going to church and her CCD classes, reading, and spending time with her sister Brennan.
