Thank you, anons. My confusion was mostly about whether sweet coords nowadays are usually OTT (like the one posted by >>9939053, once considered OTT, but now is pretty commonplace) or if the meaning of OTT now addresses exclusively to super extravagant coords with wigs and stuff clinging from hair (like the ones on >>9938985 and >>9938995).

>OTT pastel sweet was mainly OTT because it's so darn pastel
>It looks pretty tame today because we're so used to it now.

These made me curious if there were some other OTT specific substyles, being >>9939053 the regular OTT coord and the more extravagant ones being labed something else. Basically a nomenclature issue.

Oh I expressed myself badly, I love pastel classic coords (with beige/white/brown/grey as main colors), my problem is just "colorful pastel" tones. Like, I can't tell if one is wearing lilac and pink/green and sax or if it's a monochromatic coord with a greyish print as I see it. Coordination of different pastel colors looks messy to me, while old school sweet with solid dresses and white shirts look pretty cute. Bittersweet is especially weird, since I know the prints are 100% pastel colors, but all I see is white and grey over a black background (lol).

Well, thank you all for your time. My heart is relieved after confessing this secret. I'll get my sweet lolita homework done by myself, since no specific blogs were mentioned (I'd rather read articles than just scroll over random pics, but this is fine as well).
