Doll-A-Day 109: Skipper Saturday: Straight Leg Two Tone Skipper

  I'm super early today because I'm on my way to Record Store Day shopping with Emma. Go out and support your local record store,(If you have one!)
  Today's doll is another two tone haired Skipper. It's a bit more subtle than the other two tone I showed you a while back.

 She's wearing Sunny Pastels, from 1965-66.

Her hair was all combed, but it was windy. It's Spring, you know.

This is the Sunny Pastels I got for $2 at a yard sale. I featured the doll I got there a while back during dolls in their boxes week, on Skipper Saturday.

Sunny Pastels consists of the dress, matching purse, white anklets,and pink flats.(I got the dress and purse together, but the shoes elsewhere.She forgot her socks.) It coordinates with Barbie's Fun 'N Games outfit.Fun 'N Games came with croquet equipment.Skipper's purse looks like she's going a bit more dressy with her outfit. The Skipper outfit that came with croquet things was Fun Time, and it was much more casual than Sunny Pastels, with it's pants and casual shirts. It didn't match Barbie's Fun 'N Games either. Maybe Mattel should have rethought a few things.

This doll's hair looks pretty much just like dark auburn at first. You can tell it's two tone if you look though.

The hair!Of course!

The two tone really shows up in the sun.

See you tomorrow for another doll.

Doll-A-Day 60: Skipper Saturday:Straight Leg Skipper in Original Box

Today is the final day of the Yard Sale Tale. We finish up the week with Skipper Saturday, and this straight leg Skipper with her original box.

She didn't have her stand. She's borrowing a Twist and Turn stand.

She was in her box, and wearing her original swimsuit when I got her.

 

The box specifies that it's for a red head.As you can see, this box isn't in as nice condition as the other two I got at this sale.

She has a little problem with her bangs.

She's pretty nice though. I wasn't about to pass her up in any case! She was about $10, maybe only $7.

I rarely find vintage Skippers at yard sales. I think I have only found 3. This is the nicest one, even if she hadn't  had her box.

 

"Skipper has her own "junior edition" styles...They match Barbie's..." Skipper's original fashions were made to match Barbie's more mature versions.

The sides of the box show the fashions available for Skipper.

The lady also had, (and I bought) Skipper's Sunny Pastels dress and purse. They were $2. Since this girl was in her original swimsuit and had her box, I decided to leave her just as she was. I put the dress on another doll.
  Tomorrow we'll start a celebration of the Academy Awards with Oscar Week.
