First off, I appreciate that you didn't go for the overdone obvious Swankiss fluffy thing that seems to be the go to choice for everyone trying Larme outfits, and you went for a more mature colour scheme. The outfit doesn't really work though for the reasons the other anons have already pointed out so I won't go over that again. I did an edit of how I would make your outfit more Larme looking (50 hours in MS paint). Ok so we've covered the flesh coloured tights things and you can wear those under thigh highs. I would invest in some platform type footwear, or some kitten heels or midi heels, just anything feminine and cute that you see in Larme. Pour over Larme scans, or better yet buy some issues of Larme, and really absorb the source material. Buy a few key pieces you see models wearing, like say a fluffy mohair sweater, a midi length tulle skirt and so on.
You really have neglected to accessorize at all. A few suitable necklaces with pendants and earrings (almost always gold in Larme magazine) , and hair ribbons can make the difference. I feel like the bag is wrong but I've added a fluff ball bag charm to improve the feel.

No offence but that looks terrible; to be fair you didn't have a great outfit to work with. Those ankle socks are rarely seen in larme, they usually go for a clean crisp outline for the ankle area, with the exception being the rare use of Katie style lace cuffs. In that particular outfit the triangular shape of the ruffle is completely at odds with the boxy shape of the dress. This is also in answer to >>8723047 those socks are kind of childish looking; I don't doubt you might find some magazine scans somewhere with models wearing them but I think it's more an exception to the rule.
