I thought we had seen all of the 2016 Girl of the Year, Lea Clark’s wardrobe already, but it seems like there was another one that has just appeared on eBay, featuring a white t-shirt with a colorful butterfly graphic, dark green capri pants, and colorful sneakers.

Although the eBay photos do not show an ego tag, I think it is a safe assumption to make because of the theme of the outfit and color scheme fits with the rest of the colors and themes in Lea’s collection. As with all leaks, nothing is 100% certain til AG unveils the collection so it is possible this could be for the Truly Me line.

EBay Auction Photos:

This looks like a really nice "exploring" or hiking outfit for Lea! We've seen a lot of vacation-type outfits leaked, but for tromping through the rain forest, you really need sensible shoes and covered legs. :)

It looks like it will come with at least the butterfly shirt, dark green capri pants, sneakers, and yellow headband.

The graphic on the shirt is simple but lovely. To be fair though, I have such a weak spot for butterflies. ^_^

The green on her belt looks like it matches with the green on her parrot romper outfit we saw leaked earlier. The dark green capri pants look well made and I can see them useful in a lot of mix and match outfits.

The sneakers are very bright, but since the rest of the outfit is relatively tame, I don't mind it and think they look really cute.

Close up of the shoes. I am impressed with how well made and detailed they look.

Overall, I really like it. Lea needs some sensible, non touristy, vacation clothes, and this outfit definitely fits the bill by being both fun and functional. The colors are good at accenting without overwhelming the outfit and I can definitely see myself adding this to my collection. The colors and theme really fits in with the rest of her wardrobe that we’ve seen leaked so far, especially her Meet Outfit and her Tropical Parrot Romper. As an added plus, I can see this outfit being broken up and used in various mix and match ensembles too. ^_^

In general, I am really starting to warm and fall in love with her collection. I think because we saw leaked outfit initially that were very “LOUD” in color and design, I jumped to conclusions that the entire line would be too crazy and neon for my taste. However, now that we’ve seen nearly all the outfits in her wardrobe, I am impressed with how cohesive the line is. There is a good mix of loud, bright colors (meet dress, purple tye dye dress, green tropical romper) and calmer, more down to earth styles (fancy dress, this explorer/hiking outfit), and that balance really helps mellow out an otherwise too rambunctious wardrobe for me.

Hurray AG! I think they did a great job with making Lea a fun wardrobe and I can’t wait to see the whole collection unveiled! *baby sloth baby sloth baby sloth baby sloth*

Multiple Costco locations around the USA are currently a selection of American Girl items, which may include a mix of gift cards, craft kits, AG pet set, Bitty Baby sets, and next month, Caroline doll sets.

Not all stores will have everything, most are only carrying some of the items, and if you are looking for something specific, I recommend calling around to the various stores in your area to see if they have what you're looking for. The images below are from my local Costco which only had the gift cards and craft sets.

Costco is a bulk seller that requires a membership in order to purchase from them (I think the membership price is $50 a year). If you don't have a membership, you'll have to hunt around for a friend who does and wouldn't mind helping you get AG goodies. ^_^

UPDATE 11/5/2015: The Caroline doll bundles are appearing in Costco stores. For details, photos, and price, visit the most recent post here: http://lissieandlilly.blogspot.com/2015/11/full-sized-caroline-doll-outfit-sets.html

The two hangers are typical AG hangers. The knit caplet is really cute with embroidered flowers. I bet it would look beautiful with Maryellen's meet outfit.

Grace's Baking Kit - $25

I believe this particular set is exclusive to Costco. Please correct me on this if I'm wrong.

Mixing bowl & Spatula

The Costco set is on the left and the 2007 Sweet Treats Accessories version is on the right for comparison. It looks like the bowls are from the same mold, just with different colors.

Over Mitt

Half Apron

Comparison of the store exclusive Grace apron (left), Costco half apron (top right), and sales pouch from Grace's Pastry Cart (bottom right).

According to sarahangeline, the Costco half apron is a tad more orange than the store exclusive apron.

3 Recipe Cards: Petit Fours, Cake Macarons, and Croissants

Comparison of the Costco recipe cards with the recipe reader and a recipe card from Grace's Baking Set.

The Costco recipe cards are double sided. The recipe card from Grace's Baking set is single sided.

The Costco recipe cards do fit in the reader from Grace's Baking set, but since the cards are slightly smaller, there is some extra room at the top.

The Costco set also comes with some paper craft parts, such as business cards, labels, a baguette bag, and shopping bags.

Comparison of the Costco baguette bag on the bottom (which is plain) with the baguette bag from Grace's Pastry Cart (in the plastic case on top).

Comparison of the Costco pink shopping bags (left back), with the shopping bag with handles from Grace's Pastry Cart (right front). The one from Grace's Pastry Cart is a bit smaller with handles.

The book that comes with the set includes some great tips and craft projects to help you build your own bakery and a fraction of the cost of the AG one. :)
