I wore Fresh Cherry JSK last week to eat hotpot for Yue's birthday (accidental matching red and black colour scheme with Yue & Seamii!), but I didn't take any individual photos, so I rewore some components in a slightly altered coord.

I figured the mostly black polyester would do fine if anything splashed, and everyone had aprons (as any decent hotpot place these days should) so it was all okay 👌

This JSK is maybe a little shorter than what I've been used to wearing lately, but the cut is super cute with its extra halter straps and two-layered skirt, so I'm continually drawn to it ☺️

I really had trouble picking out legwear for my coord(s) since originally I wanted to go with opaque black x red OTKs for warmth, balance, and a slightly more modest look, but the ones I own didn't seem to be working when I tried them on. I opted for these sheer heart OTKs here, which bring together the geometric theme nicely imo, but they do lend more of a pin-up look.

I also attempted to clip red bows to my shoes so I could have some red in the bottom part of my coord, but that didn't really work since you can hardly tell. Oh well!

All clothes Angelic Pretty except shoes (Fint).

Another old Fresh Cherry coord photo (from Valentine's meet 2 years ago)!

I was hoping that bringing back spherical shaped red fruits would summon Girly Apples...maybe it did?

Old picture of last year's cherry outfit that had been sitting in my drafts. Summer means lots of summer fruits, right? I'm looking forward to lots of strawberries 🍓

Casual sort of Fresh Cherry coord, with an AP cherry cardigan (of course I had to get my hands on this, I really like interesting “print” knit items).

In that vein, I have this bag for obvious reasons too.

Everything I’m wearing is by Angelic Pretty again this time!

Blouseless Fresh Cherry coord inspired by AP’s runway look, which I am quite a fan of (it encouraged me to fall for Fresh Cherry in black)!

All clothes by Angelic Pretty except for my legwear and gloves (offbrand/offbrand modified)

Fresh Cherry and... Holy Lantern?!

These two are pretty far apart thematically, but when I saw their similar black x red (x white) color schemes hanging in my closet, I had an idea...

As you can see, I like to mix things up by using holy lantern’s waist ties as neck ties (I did it in my ero style coord), the design is interesting so it feels like a shame to hide it behind my back!

I also stole the “neck bow on bag” trick from xiyuue who likes to do so often~

Everything is Angelic Pretty except the hairband, which is handmade.

Coord for a belated Valentine’s comm meet🍒

The cherry print and mature black accent colour gives me a slightly refined but also pinup-like vibe! While most of the outfit is pretty modest, the fishnet tights add a bit of inevitable coquettishness, I think; and while the use of black accents feels adult, the cherries feel young. This type of “sweet lolita but a little mature” is the feeling of sweet lolita I really identify with, I think ;v; It’s almost like sweet lolita with the heart of a classic lolita.

I piled on lots of heart accessories to match the theme! I also tried that popular heart braid hair style, but I’m not very good at it so I’m not sure if that really turned out all that great.

it seems like my necklace is backwards in the first photo :(

All from Angelic Pretty except for the black and red heart brooch (attached to the top of my bodice on the right), which is from Pretty Rock Baby.
