Not an angry anon -- and this isn't the right thread to make a dump anyway. I just find it ironic that the difference is exactly that -- "random cute things clinging from hair/wig".

If you really want to see the difference, simply track down AP ads, probably prints from 2008-2013 would give you OTT pastel sweet. Another clue is to track down the full sets, or girls who are wearing the matching sets and nothing else -- you'll see they're woefully short on "cute things clinging to hair"

Third clue is to look at outfit rundowns. When you get to the cute crap on their head it will often take a drastic break and literally becomes crap, ie-- "plastic toys" or "DIY" or "Claire's children section" -- sometimes it won't even be something that was meant to be worn at all.

OTT pastel sweet was mainly OTT because it's so darn pastel -- everything is like a soft pink or a fluffy lavender or a baby blue from head to toe, topped with a large oversized headbow, and then the dress itself is usually some cutesy print. Remember that it came out in 2006-2008, put it next to old school sweet, you can see the drastic difference, that's why it's OTT. It looks pretty tame today because we're so used to it now.
