I really like the pink power suit look. The nighttime one is okay, but the business one is iconic Barbie. I never would have thought to add the additional pieces into Courtney’s world, but they look great. The girl that you put the hat in at the end (in Courtney’s world), the hat made her look like Tiffany in a music video.
