I like the style and wear a lot of jfashion
Sweet can be done tastefully and look great, I just think it's hard to elevate it. Every style has access to cheap accessories, but they're the most forgiving in sweet, which doesn't really care of their purse or shoes look like plastic and might even prefer it that way. Cheap fabric and fake leather is a lot more obvious in black than pastel, so it really stands out in gothic. Incorporating different textures to add depth to a coord rather than prints can also work against you just as much as it can for you, so.. while on average I think sweet coords may look better than gothic, I find the high end to be a lot more interesting and aesthetically pleasing.

It's probably not as freeing as just getting handed a credit card and told to go nuts, but I've bought my SO sweet dresses, look out for rare/dream stuff on auction, and help her with her shoes, bows, hair, accessories and all that. I can see how it would be nice to feel more knowledgeable and stylish in comparison to your SO but I would rather be equals and help each other look our best. I have my own preferences, but am supportive - and not just blindly so.
