The Barbie Look Collection

    In 2012, Mattel released a line of dolls for the adult collector who liked to redress their dolls. It was called The Barbie Look and I loved it! I love it when dolls are released with extra outfits for redressing. For me, it expands her world. This collection included two dolls with two additional outfits as well as a wardrobe to hold them!
    To me, the dolls seem like they are modeling the spring collection and the outfits are the summer collection. The next two dolls released seem like they are the fall collection, while their outfits are the winter collection. 
    The dolls released after the 2013 (fall/winter collection) were only released as dressed dolls; no separate outfits were made for them. As a result, I've stopped buying them. Don't get me wrong, the dolls are cute, but I'm just not interested in them if they don't have additional outfits available. I am content with just having the first two lines of dolls and clothes, since it is a "complete" collection for me, especially with the "year round" theme.

     This was a good collection for me and I may pick up some of the newer dolls if they appeal to me, but for now, I consider this collection complete.
