Inspired by Uncharmed by Lucy Jane Wood
Wearing a pink dress layered under a pink jacket, pink bow heels, a pink choker, and a black witch hat tied with a pink bow isn’t just an outfit—it’s pure Andromeda “Annie” Wildwood energy from Uncharmed by Lucy Jane Wood.
Annie has spent her life perfecting the art of looking—and being—just right. Every bow tied neatly, every potion brewed flawlessly, every smile crafted to keep everyone around her happy. The all-pink ensemble mirrors that polished exterior: sweet, soft, and pleasing. The bow details and matching accessories echo her carefully curated life, while the witch’s hat tips its brim toward the magic she’s so desperate to master.
But here’s the twist—much like Annie, this outfit isn’t about perfection, it’s about permission. Permission to embrace the messy, the magical, and the parts of yourself that don’t always sparkle on cue. The bold layers of pink whisper: you’re allowed to be soft and strong. The black hat grounds it all, reminding you that real power comes not from pleasing others but from choosing yourself.
Slip into Annie’s palette and let it remind you that you are the main character of your story—bow heels, imperfections, and all. Sometimes magic isn’t in getting everything right; it’s in daring to live for yourself.

About Uncharmed by Lucy Jane Wood:
A “perfect” witch must learn to embrace imperfection and live for herself in this spellbinding cozy fantasy sprinkled with love, laughter, and magic, from the author of Rewitched.
Andromeda "Annie" Wildwood is the perfect witch. She is sugar, spice, and everything nice, each element of her life finely curated and polished to irresistibility by her nightly hex-laced potion routine. She loves to please and nothing makes her happier than when everyone else around her is completely happy.
When Annie’s coven tasks her with guiding an orphan teenage witch through the process of getting her blossoming magical powers under control, Annie is excited for the chance to please and to prove herself. But the ramshackle cabin they’ll be housed in isn’t quite the staycation of Annie’s dreams—and she and Maeve, the headstrong teen, couldn’t be more different.
Just when they’re starting to understand each other, the owner of the cabin unexpectedly returns—and this quietly gruff and handsome warlock is not pleased to find that the coven volunteered his house to a high-maintenance witch and her angsty teen companion.
As this seemingly unlikely trio develop a loyalty and fondness for one another, Annie slowly learns that her people-pleasing may have led her down an impossible, lonely path. If everything about her is so right—why does it all feel so wrong?
