I actually think it works better with pastel/OTT sweet because it blends well with the whole kawaii aesthetic and a lot of non-ageplaying weebs like plushies. Oldschool girls need to stop thinking they look more normal - they don't. OTT sweet is childish but doesn't look like actual childrens' clothes - when have you ever seen kids wearing loud, detailed, digital prints with a ton of accessories? A lot of oldschool/classic solids literally does just look like childrens' clothes of the Victorian era or fifties children's Sunday best (same silhouette and a lot of the same colour schemes and details), so yeah, adding a bear to that is still going to look weird.

I agree that there's no real need to care what randoms you don't know think, but unfortunately for me I'm likely to bump into someone I know from work or university whenever I go out in my city. I don't want rumours spread at university that I go round pretending to be a kid, so I only use my Kuma Kumya-chan bag when I'm at cons.
