Isabelle (Affordable Options)

Yes it is now 2014 and there is a new AG Girl of the Year!! ISABELLE! I am very excited haha and proud of myself! In two previous posts from a looong time ago I predicted the name being Isabelle in this previous post here and an AG worker contacted me about the ombre hair which I knew would be coming but thought it was going to be for JLY's haha. So I was wrong about what kind of doll it was for but I did get an insight on the ombre hair in this post here.

Now that Isabelle is up on the AG sight I am happy to see my predictions and information was all true! This post here is for all the people like myself who love Isabelle and her collection but just cant afford it at AG's steep prices. Here are some of Isabelle's items with a more affordable counterpart, enjoy!!

The Isabelle 18" doll has green eyes and long straight blond hair and light skin with no freckles. She is $120 dollars without her ears pierced and can be bought HERE.

A cheaper option can be bought HERE for $22.99. She is also 18" tall with green eyes, light skin, no freckles and long straight blond hair. Her hair is even in the same hair-do!

There is one more option also sold for $22.99 Here She has all the same features and is also 18" tall but does not have the same hair-do. She has long blond hair that is straight it just has a headband instead of being pulled back on each side.

By buying one of the two cheaper versions you can save $97.01! Wow with all that money saved you could buy another cheaper doll!

The next item I would like to find more affordable versions of is Isabelle's kitten tutu. She is $22 sold HERE.

For just $11.99 you can get a 4.5" tall white kitten (perfect for ag) HERE.

Buying the cheaper version lets you save $8.01! That makes a huge difference!

The next item I would like to find more affordable versions of is Isabelle's pajamas. They can be purchased HERE for $24. I personally am not a fan of this outfit at all, it's definitely not my style. It comes with pants, slippers, a tank top, and a headband.

For just $19.99 HERE you can buy a pair of shorts, a tank top, a tunic, leggings, and slippers.

The cheaper version doesnt look at all like the AG one but it is still pajamas for an 18" doll. By buying the cheaper option you save $4.01 and you get an extra pair of pajamas! That gives you the same amount of things as the AG version with an extra outfit and still less money!

The next item I would like to find more affordable versions of is Isabelle's Metallic dress for $34 that can be purchased HERE. It comes with a belt, leggings, ballet flats, and a dress.

 For $16.79 HERE you can purchase a different fancy outfit that I think looks a lot more like the kind of special occasion dress that I think a ballet dancer would wear. It is a deep purple which would look great on Isabelle and comes with ballet flats, a dress, a little short sleeved jacket and a pearl necklace. It also has a flower very similar to the one on Isabelle's Rosette Leotard but this flower is purple to match the dress.

 One more option for a special occasion dress for a ballet dancer can be found HERE for $16.99. This outfit also doesn't look anything like the AG one but it is a great special occasion dress for a ballet dancer. It comes with a pearl necklace, sunglasses, a dress and some nice dressy flats.

By choosing the first cheaper option you can save $17.21 and by choosing the second cheaper option you can save $17.01! They're even more beautiful in my eyes than the AG one and a lot less money!

Next I would like to do a large grouped cheaper version of all Isabelle's dance attire. This includes all the separates and all the outfits that AG has produced for Isabelle's dance clothes. Here I will post a picture of each item I am including with the link and price above the picture.
