First of all, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Kristie for continuing to produce an ASL video once a month!!! Your DB subscriber appreciates it!!!! 🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽 Okay, Kailey’s dress/ meet outfit is the WORSE!!!! I love Sage’s accessories!!! The dress… not so much! Blaire’s dress and bracelet are just lovely but her accessories are neither here nor there for me.
You are so welcome! I've got the next one or two ready to go ;-) And I feel essentially the same way about Saige's dress. I don't dislike it, but it's everything else that earned it 2nd place for me.
I wonder, if we created a poll, who would "win" best GOTY meet outfit? I definitely am not alone in putting Blaire at the top of the list. And as for Lanie, while I wouldn't put her dead last, if we got her meet outfit in a lot I'd resell it lol.
My favorite is definitely Jess. I have no idea why because, while I do like tie-dye, I'm not usually a huge floral person, *and* it's literally made of all my least favorite colors -- white, orange, yellow, and pink -- although I do tend to like hot pink/fuchsia/magenta colorways. So, yeah, I'm confused every time I see that outfit about why I love it, but I do. My second favorite is Marisol's outfit. I love the sporty, tomboyish pants, purple is one of my two favorite colors and I love the tie detail, and the hat reminds me of the one from Julie's original meet outfit, which I also like. I think the shoes are cute, but probably wouldn't go with much else besides those pants. The necklace is okay. The scarf and pink undershirt aren't my taste, but I don't hate them. Lindsey's is my third favorite, though how much of that is because I just think Lindsey's doll is adorable is debatable. I don't usually like khaki by itself, but I do always appreciate neutrals as pieces of outfits. I love the shirt and sweatshirt -- they're gender neutral and probably great for mix and match. I also really like the shoes and the tights. It feels like a very 90's outfit to me, which makes sense because it was early 2000's, so pretty close. My least favorites are Kavi's and Luciana's -- they just feel too loud and discordant to me. My other third least favorite is Lea's. I agree with you that it looks touristy, and again, it's some of my least favorite colors, but where I somehow liked the overall effect with Jess, I don't with Lea. I like her bag and shoes, but I think the necklace and dress look cheaper than most of the others, and also kind of extra bright on the eyes.
You are SO right on all of these! I love Gabriella's so much it's my favorite part of het collection! I also have a Kailey doll (her name is Brittany in my collection) and i never use the dress and I lost the shoes. Also this is a bonus entry for your giveaway!
I'm wondering if for Corinne's outfit, they were going for that trend of huge comfy sweaters, because the off seam was part of that style. However, her sweater isn’t baggy enough for it to properly be considered "too big", at least not for me.
Yeah, if they were going for huge comfy sweaters, that would be a big miss. It's neither thick enough nor big enough. Now the apres ski gear outfit...THAT was an outfit that nailed the big comfy sweater look!
I called that knowing your dislike of tie dye, and I get it. I do. I don’t typically wear tie dye myself, but I love Jess’ meet outfit. I could take or leave the halter and the shoes, but the skirt is one of my favorite things. I especially like it with Marisol’s meet tops. It’s fun, funky, and very Bohemian. I also love Sonali’s meet - for the shirt and tunic. I peeled off the random graphic on the pants and sold the peeling shoes. I like Luciana’s dress and boots! The belt bag thing is weird, but I like that that can be removed so you have a functioning belt. My dolls have such differing fashion styles that all of these outfits are easily worn. My least favorite is probably Nicki’s as I don’t like body suits - especially with built in undies. At least Joss got undies packaged separately! They were cheap with Nicki. It’s such a pretty blouse, too. If it wasn’t connected to underwear, maybe I’d like it. This is a bonus entry for your 1k giveaway. 😊
My top Three: Nicki's Lindsey's ( except for boots like you said.) Grace's Worst: Kavi's McKenna's Gabriela' s Runner ups for best: Marisol, Laney's and Kira's
My favorite are Blaire, Gwen & Grace. Not so favorite are Jess, Sonali & Chrissy. I didn’t realize that about Corinne’s sweater, have to take a look. I usually keep her pj’s on which I think are cute! Thanks for a nice video!
Hey - we have some overlapping faves and least faves! And yeah, Corinne's sweater is super underwhelming, but her PJs are adorable. I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
This is for a bonus entry in your 1k subscriber giveaway. This was a really fun video! Are you going to do this with the historical dolls, too? (Unless you already did it; I haven’t seen all your videos yet 😅). I love everything in Kira’s outfit except the top. It makes no sense with the rest of her outfit. I love Kanani’s outfit but that might be because I just love Kanani 😄 For Luciana, I don’t understand why they made her purse and star necklace as red when blue would have stood out more. I love Jess’s outfit but v-neck flatters me so maybe I’m projecting too 😂 I completely forgot what Kailey’s meet outfit looked like. Hmmm I think Saige’s outfit is simple but the color works so well with her hair and like you said the accessories are done really well and will never be done like that again! Gabriela’s meet outfit is just fun and having basics is so nice to have! Blaire’s outfit is also simple (to me) but it is pretty. For me, I would have chosen Jess and Kanani for the top three but am not sure about who would round out the top three. For the bottom three, definitely Luciana (I sold the meet outfit and I don’t think I’ve ever done that with a GOTY before!), and probably McKenna’s (I just don’t understand the outfit, though I think I remember outfits looking like that back then) and I don’t know who the third would be so I guess I just have a top two and bottom two 😄
Thanks for sharing your choices (and rationales) for the top and bottom picks. It's so interesting to read others' takes on it. And yes, I'm planning to do this same thing for the historical and truly me lines. Just a matter of when I get around to it ;-) (btw, bonus entry has been recorded)
@@agtakesover It’s always so interesting to me to hear others’ opinions 😄 I’ll look forward to your other videos on the historical and truly me dolls when you make them ☺️
I was surprised by Gabriela being in the top 3, as I've never really liked her outfit, but you make a good point re: mix and match potential. I really should like her outfit more, as purple and teal are my favorite colors, but I don't tight pants that aren't covered, so that has always thrown me off. And I don't like her shoes either. On the other hand, I really like Sonali's meet outfit because I do like longer tops with crop pants (or over top of tight pants - just a modesty thing, as my daughter will tell you too). :) Thanks for sharing! This was a fun idea.
Yeah - I don't love Gabriela's outfit as is (those shoes!! ugh) but it earned its spot strictly because of mix n match possibilities. That's interesting about your modesty preferences for your dolls. I don't like their skirts to be too short, but it's because of aesthetics, not a preference for modesty. Gabriela's jeggings could, of course, be covered up by any number of things, though, so you'd still get a ton of use out of them :-) And I'm glad you liked the video - I'm going to do one for the TM meet outfits as well as the historicals at some point.
@@agtakesover I also just don't like how their legs look where they attach to their body, so if the pants (or PJ bottoms) are too tight, I think it's unattractive. I only have one pair of leggings/jeggings that are thick enough and cut well enough to not look too tight to me, and those are the newer Starry Jeggings (they're still available on the AG website). The other leggings I have, I just cover up with a skirt or dress and I think that's a really cute look, especially for the warmer months (layering). Looking forward to seeing the TM and historical versions of this. :)
Saige is a doll I am not always drawn to, but then I'll see someone's picture of her looking particularly cute and it makes me appreciate her. Her hair is beautiful!
Yes, Blaire's outfit is amazing, I do really like it. But THANK YOU for giving Gabriela's outfit its due! I think that outfit is great. But now I'm really maybe I really just am a basics person, because I also really like Lindsey's outfit (and yes, the boots... ohhhhh the boots) and I liked a lot of the shorts from the midrange folks, like Joss's and Kira's and even Sonali's. So. Yeah, I guess I just prefer simple basics with mix n' match potential. Huh. Really enjoyed this video and it's cool you didn't do classic tier ranking (though I do like that style of video, it's fun to see the general concept done in a different way). Thank you for sharing!
Your desire for more basics is something I see so often from collectors of all ages. I wish AG would just listen to that. Also…. yeah, I have no issue with tier ranking, but this came more naturally to me. In glad you enjoyed it.
I agree completely with Blaire having top outfit! I’d love to get my hands on one for a good price. I was on a collecting hiatus when she was available new.
I’m a year late but I think McKenna will always take bottom place for me! Surprised to see Kailey and Jess in bottom 2 they’re towards the top for me! I think my favourite is probably Kira, purely for Aussie bias!
Lol about Jess's outfit. We just got her skirt in a lot recently and I was like "Oh goody" (hard eye roll). On the bright side, the lot contained TWO of her cross-body bags, some of her swim suits, and...her FLIP PHONE! :)
Worst three for me are Marisol, Luciana, Lindsey. Top three would be Saige, Blaire, Grace. I like almost everything about Luciana’s I don't like the dress that much I think it should've been a blue, purple galaxy like you said but as a top and some shorts.
I wonder how many ppl would put Blaire's meet outfit in their top three. It seems like my opinion on that outfit is a popular one :-) I really DO wish they'd made a galaxy dress out of a cooler color scheme for Luciana. If they had, what color would you want her fanny pack to be?
Just curious what the issue was with Lindsey's shoes?? We have her, but I don't remember any issues with them. Ours are still in good condition. You also mentioned something about Kailey and the color pink..on ours the legs turned this bright pink color. I'm going to send her into the doll hospital but also noticed that people selling her on eBay also have issues with the legs turning pink. Does anyone know if there was a defect in this doll?? She's the only one we own that this ever happened to.
Lindsey's shoes are suede-like and they dry out and are prone to cracking. Like the Urban Outfit shoes do. A lot of the older shoes (if they're not canvas or leather) crack - Our Jumper and Boots set outfit have cracked boots, too. I have a pair of boots for Lindsey that are in good shape, but we've had a few pair that were really wrecked. I think it also matters how they are treated and stored over these past 22 years. ...As for your Kailey doll, most people describe it as orange, but yes - it's a known defect. As far as I know, Nellie and Kailey are the only two dolls impacted by it. I know with Nellie AG used to recognize it as a defect and they would do limb and head replacements for free if she turned orange (we did this with our Nellie), but now they deny it's a defect, blame the customer for how they store their dolls, and make you pay :-( I imagine it's the same thing for Kailey.
Thank you for answering my questions. I wasn't aware about Nellie. Hoping they'll do something about my Kailey as this also caused one leg to completely fall off for no reason. Great video by the way. 🙂
I pretty much agree with your picks. My top 3 would be Blaire, Saige and Grace. While I like Gabby’s jeggjngs, they are the only piece I use except the headband. I forgot about poor Luci’s hot mess of a meet (and I own it!). I’d add Marisol’s and Sonali’s to the bottom 3. This was a really interesting topic. Thanks for doing it (and reminding me of how mediocre most meets are).
I don't own Gabriela's sweatshirt, but I'd use it. I do use the tank top because it's nice to be able to put something under jackets that doesn't add bulk in the arms like sleeves do. LMAO about you owning Luciana's meet outfit. We got one in our mystery bag from the benefit sale last year and sold that as quickly as we could lol. I'm planning to do this same type of video with historical and TM meet outfits. I know a lot of people have done tier ranking for the dolls and/or their meets, but this approach (midrange, bottom three, top three) works better for me :-)
I'm not a fan of orange nor tie dye but I think if I saw this in person that I'd love it. It's unique as far as AG clothing goes and it's pretty cute. I especially like the embroidered top as it would look good with pants or leggings of any darker color color.
LMAO. The shirt and shoes with jeans or shorts (ooh, jean shorts would look cute with it) would help that meet outfit so much, but I just loathe the skirt 🤣🤣
Nice! I think I have three or four ASL-accessible videos up so far, and will add one each month. Keeping them in their own playlist on my channel makes them easy to find, if you haven't seen the others :-)
100% Blaire has the best outfit, and I don’t have it which kills me! I don’t have Blaire and don’t plan on getting her, so I have thought about buying the outfit alone but it always seems to be pretty expensive. The bees, though. I live for a bee print. I also hate Jess’s skirt, and I love Mia’s shoes but that’s the only part of her outfit I ever use. Someone is literally always wearing those shoes, though. A staple in my modern girls’ wardrobe. I think my least favorite has to be marisol’s and unfortunately I own it in its entirety! I bought a dirty, well-loved Marisol at once upon a child and quite improbably she was wearing her full meet outfit including the hat and scarf. So many of the earlier goty meet outfits I just don’t care for at all. For me (and you as well I would imagine) I just don’t have the nostalgia for the older goty outfits and collections that a lot of the community does. I was already 15 when Lindsay came out and well past my AG days (so I thought) so they weren’t part of my experience growing up with AG. For a lot of younger collectors the goty line has always been such a big part of it but it’s all new to me, so I can’t help but see some of those 2000s era outfits as unforgivably dated, lol.
I'd be tempted to sell that Marisol meet and use the money to get Blaire's lol. And yeah - I don't have the nostalgia for any past outfits. Some of them happen to spark nostalgia for certain eras (though not always in a good way ;-) but it's not nostalgia for my former AG collecting days since I'm a more recent collector. Also, I'm glad we share a mutual hate of Jess's skirt!
I greatly dislike Luciana’s dress. Red is not my favorite color to begin with and I definitely don’t like the combination of red and purple together. I actually bought some bedding from Etsy for her and the galaxy prints I saw there are so much better. I also do not like chokers or fanny packs. I like her boots though. On most of the outfits I find the individual pieces to be fine, but when put together to create an outfit the outcome is not great. For Kira, I like the top on its own but I don’t think it looks good with the “shorts” and they don’t look that awesome with the boots. I like all of the pieces separately though. I find this to be a problem with many AG outfits though not just GOTY. I love colorful outfits as much as the next person, but some AG outfits look like the entire rainbow threw up. I also do not like Marisol’s outfit or the halter type neckline on Jess’ top. I don’t mind Kailey’s dress. I really like Saige’s meet and all of Blaire’s pieces. I like her purple sandals (purple is my favorite color) and her cute dress but I personally wouldn’t pair purple shoes with a white dress that has a yellow & black bee print. I’m not sure who I would put in the top with Saige and Blaire or in the bottom with Luciana and Marisol.
100% agreed about AG having a knack for putting disjointed pieces together and calling it an outfit lmao. And I need no convincing about Luciana's dress! The rest of her collection is fine, but why they went that direction with her meet outfit is beyond me.
First of all, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Kristie for continuing to produce an ASL video once a month!!! Your DB subscriber appreciates it!!!!

Okay, Kailey’s dress/ meet outfit is the WORSE!!!!
I love Sage’s accessories!!! The dress… not so much!
Blaire’s dress and bracelet are just lovely but her accessories are neither here nor there for me.
You are so welcome! I've got the next one or two ready to go ;-) And I feel essentially the same way about Saige's dress. I don't dislike it, but it's everything else that earned it 2nd place for me.
@@agtakesover 🩷🩷🩷
Ooo 2 more ready to go!
👊✊👊YES!
Exactly those accessories can make or break the outfit!
I agree with Blaire! Her outfit is beautiful. I think my least favourite would be Lainie, however, maybe in 2010 I would have liked it.
I wonder, if we created a poll, who would "win" best GOTY meet outfit? I definitely am not alone in putting Blaire at the top of the list. And as for Lanie, while I wouldn't put her dead last, if we got her meet outfit in a lot I'd resell it lol.
My favorite is definitely Jess. I have no idea why because, while I do like tie-dye, I'm not usually a huge floral person, *and* it's literally made of all my least favorite colors -- white, orange, yellow, and pink -- although I do tend to like hot pink/fuchsia/magenta colorways. So, yeah, I'm confused every time I see that outfit about why I love it, but I do. My second favorite is Marisol's outfit. I love the sporty, tomboyish pants, purple is one of my two favorite colors and I love the tie detail, and the hat reminds me of the one from Julie's original meet outfit, which I also like. I think the shoes are cute, but probably wouldn't go with much else besides those pants. The necklace is okay. The scarf and pink undershirt aren't my taste, but I don't hate them. Lindsey's is my third favorite, though how much of that is because I just think Lindsey's doll is adorable is debatable. I don't usually like khaki by itself, but I do always appreciate neutrals as pieces of outfits. I love the shirt and sweatshirt -- they're gender neutral and probably great for mix and match. I also really like the shoes and the tights. It feels like a very 90's outfit to me, which makes sense because it was early 2000's, so pretty close.
My least favorites are Kavi's and Luciana's -- they just feel too loud and discordant to me. My other third least favorite is Lea's. I agree with you that it looks touristy, and again, it's some of my least favorite colors, but where I somehow liked the overall effect with Jess, I don't with Lea. I like her bag and shoes, but I think the necklace and dress look cheaper than most of the others, and also kind of extra bright on the eyes.

Agreed! I love her collection.
I love Blaires outfit, I agree with that. And I think Sage has a really nice outfit
Right now I have the FAO Schwarz doll in Blaire's meet dress and it looks great.

I know a lot of people have done tier ranking for the dolls and/or their meets, but this approach (midrange, bottom three, top three) works better for me :-)
How DARE you! I LOVE JESS’s outfit! 😂
I'm not a fan of orange nor tie dye but I think if I saw this in person that I'd love it. It's unique as far as AG clothing goes and it's pretty cute. I especially like the embroidered top as it would look good with pants or leggings of any darker color color.
LMAO. The shirt and shoes with jeans or shorts (ooh, jean shorts would look cute with it) would help that meet outfit so much, but I just loathe the skirt 🤣🤣
Cool. I communicate using sign.
Nice! I think I have three or four ASL-accessible videos up so far, and will add one each month. Keeping them in their own playlist on my channel makes them easy to find, if you haven't seen the others :-)
100% Blaire has the best outfit, and I don’t have it which kills me! I don’t have Blaire and don’t plan on getting her, so I have thought about buying the outfit alone but it always seems to be pretty expensive. The bees, though. I live for a bee print. I also hate Jess’s skirt, and I love Mia’s shoes but that’s the only part of her outfit I ever use. Someone is literally always wearing those shoes, though. A staple in my modern girls’ wardrobe. I think my least favorite has to be marisol’s and unfortunately I own it in its entirety! I bought a dirty, well-loved Marisol at once upon a child and quite improbably she was wearing her full meet outfit including the hat and scarf. So many of the earlier goty meet outfits I just don’t care for at all. For me (and you as well I would imagine) I just don’t have the nostalgia for the older goty outfits and collections that a lot of the community does. I was already 15 when Lindsay came out and well past my AG days (so I thought) so they weren’t part of my experience growing up with AG. For a lot of younger collectors the goty line has always been such a big part of it but it’s all new to me, so I can’t help but see some of those 2000s era outfits as unforgivably dated, lol.
I'd be tempted to sell that Marisol meet and use the money to get Blaire's lol. And yeah - I don't have the nostalgia for any past outfits. Some of them happen to spark nostalgia for certain eras (though not always in a good way ;-) but it's not nostalgia for my former AG collecting days since I'm a more recent collector. Also, I'm glad we share a mutual hate of Jess's skirt!
I greatly dislike Luciana’s dress. Red is not my favorite color to begin with and I definitely don’t like the combination of red and purple together. I actually bought some bedding from Etsy for her and the galaxy prints I saw there are so much better. I also do not like chokers or fanny packs. I like her boots though. On most of the outfits I find the individual pieces to be fine, but when put together to create an outfit the outcome is not great. For Kira, I like the top on its own but I don’t think it looks good with the “shorts” and they don’t look that awesome with the boots. I like all of the pieces separately though. I find this to be a problem with many AG outfits though not just GOTY. I love colorful outfits as much as the next person, but some AG outfits look like the entire rainbow threw up. I also do not like Marisol’s outfit or the halter type neckline on Jess’ top. I don’t mind Kailey’s dress. I really like Saige’s meet and all of Blaire’s pieces. I like her purple sandals (purple is my favorite color) and her cute dress but I personally wouldn’t pair purple shoes with a white dress that has a yellow & black bee print. I’m not sure who I would put in the top with Saige and Blaire or in the bottom with Luciana and Marisol.
100% agreed about AG having a knack for putting disjointed pieces together and calling it an outfit lmao. And I need no convincing about Luciana's dress! The rest of her collection is fine, but why they went that direction with her meet outfit is beyond me.
