[discussion] Larme-kei Fashion - Five Years Later

 

I posted a new resources blog post about Larme magazine and larme-kei fashion styling on my blog, see link below! This is an update from a video/post I made 5 years ago with then and now comparison photos.In the upcoming months, I will post an in-depth style guide for larme-kei specific fashion especially from the 2010s, shopping links, as well as a sew-along from Otome no Sewing. I just really want to have a handy static non-social-media post for this specific style from the second-best era in Japanese street fashion, even if it's no longer relevant. But this is my own site, so I can post whatever I want! I hope others find it useful as well.

[coord] French afternoon tea classic lolita

 Went to a French afternoon tea and rewore a coord from years ago but with a few new accessories. Wow, I was hoping to dress up in lolita every 2 months but it's been 3 months, my bad. I will do better when things aren't so bad in this world (so never lol).

 And here is a quick coord for International Lolita Day Winter 2025 last Saturday/Sunday! I was busy with friends and errands all weekend so I just dressed up for bathroom photos with one of my newest dresses from Meta, you can tell because the hem is still wrinkled from shipping.
