Kenna's Rain Gear

Whattup peoples. The Week of Kenna continues. :-)

Today she shows off McKenna's rain gear - which is really just an umbrella and rain boots. No rain coat or anything like that required... in Seattle....Oh well.

If you are looking for an expensive doll umbrella and boots set - you have found it. ;-)





The boots should be bolder and more vivid - but the fabric is stretched inside the boots and loses its vibrancy. You can see in the pic below what the fabric should look like - look at the unstretched-out fabric inside the boot.


And here you can see how the fabric is stretched out. :-( 


AG really should have created these boots in a better manner.
They look "washed out" because of this fabric issue.
And as you see, as an extra insult, the fabric becomes see-through and the tag is visible.
Boo.

The umbrella is an umbrella. Not much really to say. It has a strap so your doll can hold it.


And two dolls can kinda fit under it for sharing purposes.


It is cute. But an umbrella with dots could have been pulled off better to look more fashionable.
For instance, the brown on brown dotted umbrella, and the brown and white dotted boots you see below. These would have been awesomeness in doll-scale.


But AG likes to think/say it isn't "fashion-forward" - 
And so we are stuck with McKenna's theme colors of green and purple.

:-/

Also appearing in this post is CeCe wearing McKenna's school sweater and skirt.
Her socks are from Aunt Bees Old Sew n Sew.
Her shoes are AG.
Kenna is wearing the same Ebay dress as the last post.





CeCe's hair has been re-styled via finger-curling after her various intro hairstyles we showed you. So that is proof that her hair can go back to its original style with some work after playing with it, just fyi. It may look a bit more frizzy at the tips, but we think it is pretty cute. :-)



Thanks for visiting us today!


Activity Three Pics will be posted soon, once we are done organizing them. :-)

Love the "If you are looking for an expensive doll umbrella and boots set - you have found it. ;-)"
XD
I actually laughed at the one. =)I think the boots are still cute.

I was thinking off getting this; now I won't! Thank you for showing what the boots reall look like (:
P.S. Kenna's outfit is to die for!

CeCe is rocking that sweater! I think it suits her better than Kenna. I love how you paired it with knee socks and mary-janes. The shoes the outfit comes with look a little goofy to me.

Love the colors! So so adorable! I try to make my dolls clothes but sometimes you gotta buy it like boots and shoes :)

When I first saw this, I freaked out!(Well me, Emmie, and my guardian did) Since I love purple and such. But it's the details that sadly ruin it in the long-run! Thanks for doing this post and "taking one for the team" in the sense that you bought this poppy set and reviewed it for us!
We love the brown polka dotted rain stuff! We would totally buy that if it was offered in dolly form!

Soon. We are waiting for an email back from someone who sent us a photo that was much too small.

Stay tuned though!
