People in this thread are some of the nicest I've seen to people who self posting. I feel like people here really want to help others improve.

That said there are some people who don't seem to improve no matter how much crit is given to them, which is a bit frustrating. I do feel like I've seen small bits of improvement though, even in some of the most notoriously poorly dressed posters, both here and on the FB group. So I suppose that's good.

Yeah, people not reading through the magazine is definitely a problem. Also a big part of that is that by not taking in the magazine as a whole, they're really missing out on the big picture. I feel like the more you read Larme, the better your style will become just naturally. If you're only looking at a few select scans and then try to throw something together, it just ends up looking off.

It's been mentioned a lot before but Larme is also more similar to traditional fashion than other jfashion styles. IMO it definitely helps to have a good fashion sense outside of Larme and to be frank, some girls haven't cultivated that. I feel like some girls could stand to learn what styles flatter them and how to put together "normal" outfits before they move onto to something as trendy as Larme. But that's not kawaii...

I think the thing about posting people from the fb group comes down to the fact that most of the people who post good coords also have public social media where you can find their outfits. It's only really the "hey I just found Larme so I threw together an outfit from my closet is it ok?" that only have their outfits on the fb group. I think people are concerned about scaring newbies away from the style by having their outfits taken and critiqued publicly. But then no one is willing to really give in depth crit in the group for fear of being labeled the bitch.

...so you're annoyed that people who post on cgl are in the Larme fb group? Isn't that hypocritical?
