People like things that start with the same letters – you know alliteration – and on popular example is Throwback Thursday. Since I am in a throwback kind of mood today, I thought you might enjoy looking at some of the American Girl of the Year 2007, Nicki and her outfits.
Nicki didn’t want to do the modeling all by herself so she invited a few friends to go through her closet with her. From left to right, Gwen (from the GOTY 2009 collection), McKenna (GOTY 2012), Nicki (GOTY 2007) and Kanani (GOTY 2011).
Let’s start with Nicki showing off her Tie Top Shorts set. The set consists of a pink tank top, floral tie front top, khaki shorts (the ribbon belt is missing) and red cork bottomed sandals. We got Nicki in the summer of 2011 from a friend who had outgrown her dolls and no longer wanted them. She got most of Nicki’s collection but there are a few little pieces here and there that are missing. Nicki’ is actually in need of some TLC as I have found quite a few marks on her legs and face. I will have to get out the Oxy and try to clear the marks up the same way I did with Bitty Baby.
Oh the freckles! What a cutie!
I had thought about putting McKenna in Nicki’s Ranch Outfit but the Meet Outfit just seemed a better fit for McKenna. Nicki’s Meet Outfit is also known as her dog training outfit. It came with the cream colored eyelet bodysuit top, the blue suede like wrap skirt (that really isn’t a wrap skirt) that has floral embroidery and cowboy boots with a little lacy trim. Nicki’s dog is named Sprocket and she is training Sprocket to be a service dog. There are lots of little accessories for Sprocket like his service dog vest, but I chose to photograph him without today.
Kanani is wearing Nicki’s Gala Outfit but with a substitution for the shoes. When we got all of Nicki’s things it seems that one of the shoes for this outfit was missing. It’s okay, the pink flats from the Star Hoodie outfit work just fine. The Gala Outfit is a cream colored skirt with embroidered mesh overlay, a fancy tweed jacket and the embellished ballet flats that we don’t have.
Gwen looks adorable in Nicki’s Ranch Outfit. The outfit includes the floral and embroidered horse shirt, pink corduroy pants, faux suede chaps, purple boots and a cowboy hat. There is also a duffle bag with this set that I did not include in the photo.
The only outfit from the collection we do not have is Nicki’s Ski Wear which is not my favorite anyway.
So, which outfit from Nicki’s collection do you like best? Who modeled Nicki’s outfits best? And should I make this a regular feature?
super cute!!!!
wow
OK thanks Char!
I love this and yes you should make it a regular feature.My favourite is Nicki’s Gala Outfit .Be careful with Nicki’s face…. remember what I did to poor Emily
My fave Nicki’s outfit is the Meet outfit,Mckenna did the modelling best of course. I would love to see this as a regular feature its interesting!
i love all of Nicki`s outfits and i am reading the books!
I love Nicki’s meet outfit, and Mckenna couldn’t look better in it. She looks so beaufitul. Truly, and you should make this a regular post
Wow!!! Make this a regular feature!!!!! PLZ
make this a regular feature for sure. super cute. Kanani looks gorgeous in that.
Would you recommend Mckenna? I am thinking of getting her.
Maire– I would definitely recommend McKenna. Her hair is awesome for styling!
I really like how Mckenna modeld Nicki’s Meet outfit but my favorite in Nicki’s collection would probably be Her Gala outfit. It is so pretty. I agree that her ski outfit isn’t the best. Maybe could you show us Sprocket’s vest and what he came with please? Thank you Char!
=)
And yes! a regular feature!
I LOVE her meet outfit. Kanani modeled her outfit best, and yes, please make this a regulare feature!
I think Kanani modeled the Gala outfit the best. She looks GORGEOUS, and Iove that her hair is up and in a bun, which makes the outfit perfection.
Really cute! McKenna looks amazing in Nicki’s meet outfit. Kanani looks great in the gala outfit, especially with her hair up in a bun! The outfit Gwen is wearing looks like it was made for her, she looks adorable in it! I love all of this collection and I wish I had it!:)
This would be cool as a regular feature!!! I wish I had Nikki so bad, I wasn’t into AG when she was released. I LOVE the Gala Outfit, and also like the tie top and shorts. I think Nikki is just adorable and if you know anywhere I can get a good condition Nikki for cheap, tell me!!!
I love Nicki! She was my first ever GOTY , and I own her whole collection. She has always been one of my favorites.
I must say, Mckenna looks really cute in her clothes. She looks good in just about everything!
I love Nicki’s Gala Outfit! If I had it, I would definitely let McKenna wear it. Like Teeny said, she looks great in Nicki’s clothes. I wish I could time travel back to 2007 so I can get that outfit, and maybe even the doll, too.
Too bad I wasn’t into AG back then… 
By the way, you should make this a regular feature. I would like to see more things that I missed out on from American Girl prior to 2010. ^_^
I like this feature! I think Nikki was the best model, since it was her collection and you should try to do this every week or so. I just got a new Barbie doll today, can I send you a review Char? I wasn’t sure if you wanted a review of a Barbie since most of them are the same.
I just got all of Nicki’s collection for my birthday, except for her hat (all 2nd hand). I think she is a great doll and Sprocket and Jackson are both unique too. Her ski outfit is actually a really great outfit-much better than any pictures I have seen.
Nicki is the best model. This is a fun idea to do regularly.
McKenna looks great in Nicki’s meet! So cute!
My two favorite outfits would be the gala outfit and the tie top. I can’t pick one. Too bad I didn’t get Nicki when I had the chance!
hey char,
how can I make a downy spritz for dolls with curly hair?
