Fugal Finds!

 Hey Gang

I was back at Dollar Tree and picked up two more outfits/uniforms. A construction worker outfit and a police uniform.

I thought they were good purchases because these packs include items I can use for different things.

The construction worker pack clothing only fits Barbie, not Ken. Even on Barbie, the outfit is a little short in the crotch. 

I can use the helmet for my construction workers. Maybe I should have a woman construction worker! 

I can use the reflective vest for a crossing guard.

The police officer's uniform is two-piece with sunglasses.

I will have to replace the pearl buckle on the uniform. It doesn't work.

The uniform pants are high-waters!

The sunglasses are kinda fly!

I also found these black-and-yellow containers at Dollar Tree. I was surprised and happy to see them there.  I have seen others find them at stores other than Dollar Tree, but none of those stores were close to me.

Setting them up at home.

I know I want to use them for my Home Depot diorama! They always have a section with containers.

I found a container at Home Depot, but it wasn't the right scale.

Dollar Tree containers and the one I purchased from Home Depot.

A new dollar-ish store in my area is Dollar Deals. They have a toy section with dolls and toys.

I found these dogs there!

Gordy, Scotty, Marcus, and Walter.

Bull Terrier, Irish Terrier, Dalmatian, and some kind of hound. 

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Frugal Finds! Update!!

 Hey Gang!

I found these outfits at the Dollar Tree! I don't know if there are others; these were the only four, and I purchased three.  I thought these outfits might be too small for Barbie, especially the fireman's outfit, but they aren't. The packaging is smaller, with the pant leg folded over.

I purchased these three.

Let's take a look at them!

This one is a doctors/nurse outfit. Most doctors/nurses don't work in satin! 

I thought it would make great P.J.'s. Here is Trisha, who just woke up and is in search of coffee!

This one is a chef's outfit. I purchased it because the top looked big enough for a guy. 

Here is Manny mannequin with the top on and a pair of Ken pants on. The pants are too small for Ken. I will need to open the sleeves up to the top. It is a little tight in the arm but can be worked with. Update: the pants I purchased are a little roomier than past Dollar Tree fashions. They can fit on the bellybutton bottom body.

Lastly, there is this white top and overalls. The overalls have printed detailing.

Our model today is Naira. The issue with this outfit is that it is made for a doll whose head pops off. You can't get the crossed straps over the head or the neck. I will have to remove the straps in the back and add snaps.

Here are the accessories that came with the outfits. The shoes can be used for most Barbies. They are tan and black.

The stethoscope, shovel, spatula, and pan can fit in with other doll accessories you already own.

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Mattel Fashions!

Hey Gang!

Ms. D has been pestering me about purchasing some of the new single fashion
packs Mattel has out.  I have gotten her anything new lately so she feel she
is due! 
Ms. D:Yes, I am due! More clothes and blog time!

If you haven't seen the items here are a few.

I recently purchased two of the items above.  The live, love, laugh top and the
print skirt.  I also like the black and white stripe and polka dot dress below.

Unfortunately, the  dress was too tight for the belly button body that Ms. D
is on.  I guess it is made for the smaller new Fashionista dolls.

There wasn't enough hip room to get her in the dress.
Ms. D: Now you know it was the dress and not me.  I eat like a bird! Why I'm still
runway weight!

So: Rwanda got the dress because she is on a Disney body which is smaller in the
hips! Rwanda is the name that I have give this Fashionista(BCN36CJY45) doll.
I just finished watching again Hotel Rwanda and decided I liked the name.

Ms. D did get the CJV75 Fashionista dress!
Ms. D: It is a little short but I can make it work!

She also wanted this top too. Thank goodness she was able to fit it!

Ms. D: So many graphic tee are for teens but this one is not just for teens!

I feel like I can see a bright future when I wear this!

Next I purchased this set with a Native American print.  I purchased it with Nakoma
in mind. Granted, most Native American prints don't have a lot of pink in them but
it still is kinda cute.  The beige boot are a great plus.

Here she is in the outfit!  Nakoma didn't think the purse was really her.  I'll have to

find a purse to go along with the outfit.

Nakoma: I really like the pink vest!

This outfit because it is not for Fashionista is big enough for belly button bodies.

Nakoma will also get the print single skirt too.

I plan to change the pink piping. I might make it black or purple or turquoise.

OK, Thanks For Looking!
