- Hello and welcome back .... Let's take a trip back to the Power Dressed 1980's with a banner Barbie from that decade: - DAY TO NIGHT BARBIE from 1984/85. She was the second last Barbie doll I ever bought as a kid, so it's great to rediscover her again now. I love her because she very accurately reflects her time, as women entered the workforce in droves and Power Dressing was the last word in fashion. I hope you enjoy this video and please like, comment, share and subscribe to my channel. (Apologies for the sound conking out for a few seconds while I'm looking through the booklet.... I wasn't saying anything profound there, anyway! LOL)
She’s iconic. I never could keep those squishy heels from the 80s on the dolls feet. She looks awesome in the office play set. Love it!❤
Thanks so much!!! 😘 Yeah, I had to blast them with a hairdryer to even get them on! LOL
My absolute favorite Barbie! I would love to get my hands on that backdrop and recreate my favorite Working Girl moments, lol.
Thanks for commenting! Look for the Arco Fashion Doll office playset from 1985 as that includes the diorama, or you can easily make one yourself by printing out whatever skyline pic you choose and gluing it onto stiff cardboard!
love a transformable outfit... and an informative fashion lesson!
I also love a transformable outfit... My very first Barbie as a kid was 'Pretty Changes' because she came with so many interchangeable outfit pieces and even a long blonde fall and a brunette wig! And I'm glad you liked the fashion history. That was fun to do!! Thanks for commenting. 😊 (Did you like the shout-out? I even used 'Chanel-y' a couple of times! LOL)
Such a pretty doll! You have GREAT taste in music too! I hear Olivia Newton John’s Twist of fate playing in the background! Olivia has been my idol since I was 9 years old. I grew up loving singing because of her. She and I even share the same birthday September 26th!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Good spotting with the music! 😉 I really wanted some 80's instrumental that was also very 'big city' if that makes sense.... And I remember that movie the song was from 'Two of a Kind' was set in New York so there ya go! LOL I also used another instrumental from Olivia for my 80's Great Shape dolls video! ('Physical' of course! LOL) Fun fact:- I also have a Barbie 30th anniversary magazine that has an interview with Olivia Newton John and how she and her daughter love Barbie!
@@fashiondolldreamer Wow Olivia loved Barbie as well!!!! Now that’s cool! 😎
Hiya Spagbol! About time you opened her! I find it so odd and a little annoying that the hispanic sculpt is so small. On her own she looks fine but next to other dolls it looks odd. Which is funny as I actually think Barbie’s head is too big. I love the business fashions. As you know I have recently started working on my own Commuter set and I have already done my version of Day-to-Night. I now want to do a 70s inspired business outfit. I love the bags that come with this doll and that they open. Yay! She got a job at Glitz Inc! So happy for her 😂 I love her face. So pretty!
Thanks Deany! 😘 LOL I know, right? It took me long enough to debox her... and now I am glad I did! Ooooohhh I can't wait to see your rendition of 'Commuter Set'... and have I seen your 'Day to Night' one yet? You need to bring it over next weekend if you have finished it as we can dress some office gals in it! 😜 I would also love to see what you would come up with for the 70's office look! I have so many US Vogues from the 70's that were all about the working woman! (Something Halston-ish or YSL-ish, perhaps? Even maybe Calvin Klein? I loved all the russet-y brown-ish/cream/tan tailored looks that Jane Fonda wore in 'The China Syndrome' and that coincidentally Faye Dunaway also wore in 'Network!' A lot of that was Calvin Klein, I think.)
They're awesome, I am from Brazil and I don't remember them, I think they weren't sold here.
Thank you!!! I did a little research into the Estrela Barbies from Brazil and there was a similar doll available in 1987 called 'Night and Day' Barbie, but wearing a seafoam blue/green outfit! So your country had their own variation of her!!! 😘
@@fashiondolldreamer Wow! I didn't know it! Thanks for the information.
BTW: I love your channel, your collection is amazing and you're super kind ☺️
@@user-md7xs8fd9d: Oh, thanks so much! So are you!!! 😘
I had this barbie in Brazil. She is one of the few i clearly remember. Me and my sister won the caucasiano one. I remembed more the day outfit than the nigth one.
@@fashiondolldreamer mine was exactly as this one in the vídeo.
Does the reverse skirt stains? I also both like the strong synth bass line with chimes in the US ad version and the Saxophone in the UK version. Both so 80s.
I unbuttoned the skirt to have a little peek and no stains on the legs. Yeah, I discovered I had copies of both the US and UK versions, so thought I'd show the differences between the two commercials.
@@fashiondolldreamer Thanks, I was just looking at the reversible fashions (Twice as Nice) and was wondering about the staining risks. I guess 40 years without staining is pretty safe.
Do you have Barbie horse loving 1998?😃
No, as I don't collect Barbies past 1985. I DID have the 1982 Horse Lovin' Skipper as a kid, though!
Mine já é Pink open ti e not Pink limpe like yours
