I mean, I think it looks good as is tbh. Really liked the black out look with a nice pop on the handlebars. My tip is to just browse this sub/other forums online and see what you like. There’s a shit ton of options you have with a black frame like that. Black with some silver components like stem/seatpost is always gonna look nice. You can adjust how much black/silver you like throughout the build and it will most likely look good. Now with pop colors like the pink, I think it’s best to be conservative with them like you currently are, it’s really easy to overdo it with the matching and can make a build look kinda corny imo.
Edit: for god’s sake, get some foot retention.

The brakes have to leave

Isn’t that a freewheel I’m seeing.

Nicer pedals would be a great aesthetic increase without breaking the bank.

Remove the plastic reflectors on the wheels. Serve (essentially) no purpose but are required to be installed on bikes sold in Usa

I’d leave it just how it is. I would have a different color wrap to my preference but that’s it. I don’t want mine to be flashy and get much attention. It’s like a sleeper bike. I know what it can do. I don’t need to draw attention to potential thieves.

As a few other people have already said: remove the reflectors on the wheels, and get pedals that are metal. Another thing you can do is get a different water bottle cage. Maybe an anodized pink one might match your bar tape nicely. And most importantly in my opinion is the saddle. An aesthetic bike normally has a “sleek” saddle. Dont get me wrong you want something that’s comfortable and fits you correctly, but if you’re after aesthetics, normally a slimmer lower profile saddle will enhance the look as well. Good luck!

Better pedals and get foot straps

Make it a fixed gear first ,, then get platform bmx pedals and straps
Then ditch the rear brake and just run the front.

Foot retention and 🗑 the brakes once get used to it. All black=my kind of bike.
