One more pink Sugar Bouquet outfit because it's on its way to a new home across the pond. I wanted to try the "one weird trick" to make it look oldschool: put it with black shoes even if black doesn't appear in the main piece. It usually works because there were way fewer options 15-20 years ago, though it depends a lot on the dress. I distributed it a bit by also using a black bag and hair accessory.

I bought this vintage strawberry necklace and a matching ring when I was just starting to build a collection and didn't want plastic jewelry, and I love how they lend themselves to less overwhelmingly sweet outfits while still being cute. They also come in a lot of other colors that are unusual for strawberries: black, light green, gold, light blue, and more! I sort of want to start collecting them.
