Nautical Nymph

Ahoy! :D I’m all set for sailing with my first vintage outfit, the Barbie Resort Set # 963, produced from 1959 to 1962. I’m wearing a white hat, a red jacket, a navy and white stripe shirt, and white cuff shorts. The set also includes a white vinyl cork wedge shoes and gold charm bracelet, but since they are much rarer and harder to obtain, the price is much steeper. Tin got my outfit for a reasonable price sans the last two items.

For more info about Vintage Barbie and Friends dolls, outfits, and accessories, visit Fashion Doll Guide. If you’re interested in collecting vintage outfits for your dolls, there’s an updated (I think) ebay listing below every outfit in their site. :)

P.S The colors of my outfit reminds me of Blair Waldorf’s signature color palette in the first season of Gossip Girl. I heard season three will premiere on September 14. I’m looking forward to the clothes that Blair would be wearing. :)

FABulous Outfit

My top actually belongs to Stacie, Barbie’s younger sister. This is part of her soccer uniform, and though the bottom half (black shorts) doesn’t even get passed my knees when I tried to fit it, I think this shirt fits me just fine. Why wear a kid’s shirt? This might sound hilarious, but this look is inspired by a not-so-new FAB TV commercial. If you haven’t seen it before or you’re not from the Philippines, here’s the clip:

Wearing clothes supposedly for a younger sibling fascinates me. Which unusual closets do you raid for that perfect look? :)
