Mattel & Sanrio did a collab a few years back on a series of Barbie fashion packs. I wanna say it was around 2018-19? I was still in the "I cant let myself be interested in toys, I have to act like a grown up" phase of early adulthood. So I would browse the toy isle with my MLP obsessed friend and think "wow I wouldve LOVED these as a kid, I wish I could still have Barbies", and simply missed out on them.
Here we are a few years later, after allowing myself to just enjoy the things I like. Which mainly includes toys, video games, and cartoons.
I was fortunate enough to find this NIB Chococat set on depop for $5. I bought it pretty much immediately. Chococat is my favorite Sanrio character and merch is pretty hard to find. So Im super stoked that Barb can rock this outfit. Im usually not a fan of the molded purses so I swapped it out for a Mini Brands bag I had already paired with Barb. I hadn't changed her out of her lazy winter outfit so she was due for a refresh. She looks especially cute in front of my mom's old Littlest Pet Shop playhouse from the 90's. I wish I had more room to set up cute scenes but we work with what we have.
