Fashion Review Plus: Julie's Original Meet

When You See a Sale...


 Way back in the summer Julie's (AGH 1974) original meet outfit went on sale. I really liked the original outfit so when I saw the sale price I jumped - good thing I did too, hers sold out more quickly than Rebecca's. 

 This is a great outfit for mixing and matching. It came with two-tone, bell-bottom jeans; multi-colored turtleneck; gauze peasant blouse; braided, leather belt; sandals; and pink panties.
I cut the tag off the sandals. 
Kind of looks like toilet paper when it gets stuck to the bottom of your shoe. :-( Much better without the huge ego tag.

 Since it's arrival the girls have been wearing the entire outfit or different pieces and posing for a Who Wears it Best photo.

 I give this outfit 4 1/2 out of 5 stars because I think the belt should be macrame instead of braided. :-D Otherwise, I love this outfit. So now the big question...

Who Wears it Best?

Melody
Lanie
(Lanie wears the panites frequently; they fit a bit better than her blue ones.)
 XYRA! Ugh!
Kirsten
Kaya
(Kaya posed during November aka Native American Heritage Month; she chose not to wear the sandals.)
Haley
Grace

 Who gets your vote?

 Best wishes!

    I think it looks amazing on Lanie and Grace. Of course everyone else is adorable in it as well. I wish I had been able to get it, but I hesitated and lost my chance.
    Keep up the great work!

      Thank you. :) Yes, that happens. I've missed a few things over the years.

      Thank you. I should have put a single braid in my hair for this, then the only difference would have been the bangs. ;-)

    I like it best on Melody, it goes with her hair color and style the best. And what is with those giant tags, I just got an outfit from Cyber Monday with one of those on the shoes. They are even worse on the headbands, argh.

      I curled the headband tag around and hid it in Grace's hair for Christmas, but that one has to go too.

    They all wear the outfit equally well and are adorable in it. I like the belt tied on the outside of the blouse but Kirsten chose a different style. Great photos of the girls.

      Yes, this is a great look for everyone. The top is fun and flowy without the belt and cute with it.

    Grace!
    I'm a fan of Julie's original meet. The BF doesn't say 1974 to me. I had clothes just like Julie's.

      Yay! Thank you.

      I know what you mean. The BF Julie wardrobe doesn't scream 10-year-old in 1974. Unless she has a relatively stylish, hippy mom.
