If you don't have her, then I'd go with Barbie evolution (cheaper to do than Awaken Cloris and more beneficial)
Another question that I'd like answered is: Did you miss the Belinda revival event? If you have Belinda, Cloris is largely obsolete, in fact she loses to every witch besides the silver Calliope (though the other three, Yuyu, Adele and Despara, are premium units). Something to keep in mind before Awakening Cloris.
