The other day I found this ruffled, high-necked, almost Victorian-inspired black blouse and everything fell right into place. I went with a very simple colour scheme, just using black and dusty pink.

I realised as I was dressing Tsukiko that it was coming across as a very pretty, demure, sort of outfit so I ramped that up with my pearls and an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/listing\/69534031\/pink-ume-silk-kanzashi-alligator-clip?ref=shop_home_active_7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ume kanzashi from GirLinKimono on Etsy<\/a> used as an obidome.
