Argos and AG's Sporty Winter Outfit

Sorry we've been asleep at the wheel for a couple days - trying to catch up on stuff we have been ignoring. :-/

Remember - Tomorrow is the last day to vote for Activity Three pics! Vote now for your favs if you haven't already!



Today Maple models the AG Sporty Winter Outfit while Marie-Grace's dog, Argos, stands by her side. She received both of these items for Christmas (like Cecile's parrot set, which we showed you in the previous post).

In some of these shots the vest looks hot pink - it's not - it is red. Sorry about that - weird things happen when trying to take photos at dusk outside.

The outfit comes with the (Ugg-like) boots, headband, leggings/pants, vest, and shirt. It is a useful set that has a lot of mix and match potential - making it work as a warmer or cooler weather outfit depending on what types of pieces you add/subtract.

While the Innerstar U symbol is there on the vest, we can accept that - we don't mind it. We are especially happy with the "quilting" detail of the vest, and the fact that nothing has embroidered words all over it like "Live, love, happy," and AG somehow resisted the urge to embroider a swirling star motif on it somewhere. ;-)

The dog comes just with the dog. Haha. But as you can tell, he is quite big, which is nice. He is a Bouvier des Flandres, and looks a little wild with his crazy fur all over the place and his pink tongue hanging out. Which is also nice. While Maple renamed her parrot, she is happy with the name Argos since it has a much more impressive pedigree than Cochon did. (Argos is famous as Odysseus's faithful dog in Homer's "The Odyssey" who refuses to kick the bucket until his master returns from da war.)

Enjoy zee pics!














Oh and here is a bonus one that serves as a photography lesson for y'alls. Don't take photos with raking light that will cast your doll's face half in darkness and half in total brightness like we did here for an experimental shot. Unless that is what you are going for, haha.


Thanks for visiting us today!

Stay tuned for more bloggy awesomeness!

That was such a nice set of photos! I've seen this outfit at the store and it is very tempting. I think it's something the dolls will get a lot of wear out of.
