I like Nanea's dress, both of ME's outfits (that sledding outfit is super cute!), Julie's holiday dress, and Melody's doo-wop dress (by far my favorite, ngl). Julie's pinball outfit is a LOT of denim, and the PJs are definitely, uh, yellow, LOL. Sometimes the 70s stuff works for me and sometimes it doesn't *shrug*

IDK how to strategize $$$ spending, though. I'd say wait for a sale if you can, but if you know its gonna be backordered and you have the funds, might as well go ahead and treat yo self?
