New Royal Blue Holiday Dress for Josefina?

Will this be Josefina's rumored second new dress?

Her new mantilla is a white lace with a dark comb.

I love the royal blue, but am underwhelmed by the plain black shoes. What does everyone else think?

Welcome Home, Josefina!

A new poppet has joined our household!

Our BeForever Josefina was hand picked at the AGPSF store last October. I wanted to bring her home before any retirement rumor rush, which thankfully has significantly subsided (especially now with new outfits for Josefina on the horizon). I knew I wanted her either way--whether staying in the BeForever lineup or retiring--but I also knew it would be more pleasant to collect for her in the lull between AG debuts and retirements.

At the time I picked her out last fall, both styles of boxes were still available--the silhouette in the lower left corner or the newer full color sticker. 

I chose the silhouette styled box which one can see is the taller box style. I believe other than remaining old stock, the new shorter box style is here to stay.

Her hair is so sleek and smooth and pristine. I take these pictures only to record that at one point her hair was perfect, as I will never be able to return to the perfect braid once I start styling her hair.

Her BeForever skirt and sash, the only real upgrade to her meet outfit during the BeForever launch, is bright and cheerful!

The absolutely perfect bow on her sash, a wistful picture for certain!

Like her earlier version, BeForever Josefina comes with loose cotton briefs.

Her rustic faux leather shoes are pretty floppy and really don't help her balance at all like the more structured shoes with a firm and flat sole. I am pretty certain once I remove these shoes they will never be worn again.

We have been quietly collecting all through this past winter and spring for our new Josefina from the current BeForever line, the early Pleasant Company classics, as well as a few special Etsy outfits. Poppets & Posies looks forward to debuting all her new looks.
