The Mix and Match Outfit is the first meet outfit for the American Girl of Today line. It was introduced with the debut of the line in 1995 and shortly replaced by the First Day Outfit in 1996.
Outfit
This outfit has several variations due to manufacture by different factories. It was not generally available for purchase separately as it was offered with the first dolls in the line; however, for a short time the outfit was offered during a clearance sale in limited quantities.
Shirt
Oversized white button down oxford style shirt. Five small white buttons; four placed to look as if shirt is buttoned, and one at collar. Velcro at wrists. Some shirts have working buttons or snaps at front, but most shirts close with velcro.
T-shirt
Short-sleeved magenta t-shirt. Velcros up the back.
Leggings
Knit magenta leggings. Elastic waist.
Vest
Denim and print reversible vest. Plaid trim at edge. Denim side has AGoT logo patch on left breast and plaid faux pocket flap on right. Print side has AGoT logo on magenta print with orange swirls.
Shoes
Black suede velvet ballet flats. Ribbon trim. Black sole.
For a period of time, some dolls came with plastic Mary Jane shoes like Samantha's and Molly's because of manufacturing defects with the black suede flats. Dolls were packaged with a card explaining the issue and offering a free replacement to be sent after February 1, 1996 (around the release of the next meet outfit, the First Day Outfit).
Scrunchie
Magenta hair scrunchie.
Underpants
Magenta underpants. White elastic waistband with white bow trim. Serged edges. Made of the same fabric as the shirt and leggings.

The accessories, sold as the Girl of Today Accessories, were available as a separate purchase for $20 or in a bundle with the doll for a slight discount.
