Serving any kind of sweet dessert is encouraged during Chinese New Year because it symbolises bringing a sweet life into the new year. The Hokkiens also consider certain fruits auspicious, and they are particularly fond of pineapple, ong lai in the Hokkien dialect, which literally means “fortune come”. Hence, the pineapple is often incorporated into Chinese New Year snacks and decorations. A popular snack is the Pineapple Tart (黄梨挞), which comprises pineapple jam topped or enclosed within a buttery biscuit base and is often given as a gift during Chinese New Year. Here, it is in the shape of plum blossom which is in season now. The flora design with pink centre is Butter Cookie (曲奇饼) which feature a melt in the mouth texture.

Springtime feeling for this outfit, pairing a youthful kimono with pastel lattice and naive flower garden pattern, worn with a cream hakama.

OP also chose a cute haori in matching tones, patterned with Kôrin-style ume (plum blossom):
