/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Gulls, I'm questioning my style.
Sweet has always been my preferred style, but I've never really liked black colorways. Maybe it was my disdain for people who wore "bittersweet" and the attitudes they had, or the fact that I think the black tends to wash out the print.
Lately, however, my daily wear has shifted to include a lot of black with pink and baby blue accents, and I'm really enjoying it. This has me wondering whether I should try to incorporate more black into my lolita wardrobe.
A lot of the prints I want to buy are cheaper and more readily available in their black colorways, too.
Has anyone else gone through a style change like this?

I loooooooveeeee this dress but unfortunately it's too small for me :c Would adding panels of black fabric to the sides be too obvious? (my measurements are 115-94-99) Or does anyone know where I can get similar fabric?
