I am far too lazy to copy pasta my photos into a collage aka my urge to show off is not that strong.

Too bad meow_tan completely wrecked herself and went full social justice tard on her FB and tumblr.
All that progress is gone. She destroyed her hair and wears too much makeup, and reads as completely narcissistic. It's like she reverted back to an immature 15 year old.

>>6425326
whyyyyyy is the pic so small? it's hard to see anything!

>>6425553

I love these threads. It's always interesting to see how girls develop into their style.

>>6425553
someone should make a devolution picture for her

>>6426640
>someone

are you volunteering yourself?

yeah... tell me how much logic this makes

>>6426717
If this is yours there's still a lot more room to improve, your newer co-ords are still pretty mediocre.

>>6426717
4 years and you haven't improved?

>>6426717
You strike me more as a hit-or-miss type of person.

I think you have some pretty decent coords at least once from all the years, but other coords appear to be very bland or unappealing.

Don't know why there was a three year gap between my Ita phase and now, but there you go.

I'm working on making some more interesting/ complex coords, mainly focusing on gothic and classic stuff.

>>6426717
Is it just me or does it feel like her best is her little girl photo?

>>6425553
nah i think shes pretty cute now still

/r/ a bigger resolution of OP's pic please

>>6426968
She has the most horrid eyebrows. It's the one thing stopping her from being very pretty indeed.

>>6426851

that pink watering can bag

why

>>6425326
Bigger version of the meow_tan timeline. Posting a few timelines I've saved.

>>6426968
>pretty cute
Yeah I suppose when she wears a wig, circle lenses, falsies, and heavy makeup.
With generous amounts of photoshop.

She's so uncomfortable with her image it's embarrassing. And she should be, she looks atrocious. However she'd be a lot better off sticking with a more toned down and natural look instead of resorting to extremes to get attention.


And tell her to stop shaving off her brows.
It looks like a drunken Spic scribbled on her face.

The ita stuff is from many years ago and still makes me laugh.

>>6427061
but everyone on cgl wears wig, circle lenses, falsies and heavy makeup

>>6427069
I really love your coords from this summer to the present.

>>6427061
what does she look like unshooped? does anyone have a photo?

>>6427061
>Resorting to extremes to get attention
>on a cosplay and Japanese fashion board

ok

>>6427083
she has a fat face

>>6427093
her hair is poofier than her petticoat

>>6427073
No. And nice way to admit you browse /cgl/ meow_tan.

>>6427088
So she only posts to /cgl/? interesting. You clearly don't know shit.

>>6427083
There aren't too many out there.
Your best bet is looking at tagged pictures of her because she has no control over editing those. She certainly wouldn't keep a pic on her profile that she thought was super unflattering and wasn't touched up to a degree.

>>6427104
Everyone in a meow_tan thread is meow_tan.

Even you, Anon.

>>6427093
I just realized she looks like a deer caught in headlights when she's not wearing her circle lenses and is trying to make her eyes bigger with that wide ass stare.

Why did she do that?

I'll post the one I posted to my comm as a way to reassure people who were concerned that they wouldn't get better at lolita.

I think the first picture is spot on for EVERYTHING YOU CAN DO WRONG IN LOLITA. I got my shit together now and own heaps of beautiful brand and none of that weeby shit.

>>6427078
Thank you, I get really happy when people like my co-ords when I've only started getting my wardrobe together since this early summer.

>>6427061
I may not agree with everything you say anon but I do agree she needs to let her hair grow out naturally. That pink hair color looks bad on her. And she has to wear extensions just to make it look remotely healthy.

That Brittany Bors bitch she hangs around with probably gives her shitty hair "care" advice. It looks like she's trying to sabotage her.

>>6427116
Holy shit, that's such a great example of improvement! You look really good now. I think all you're missing on the first picture is cat ears or something.

>>6426762
>>6426717

>>6426859
I'll have to take more fashion advice from my mom then

>>6427160
I was never far enough along to want cat ears. Chi ears maybe... luckily I never hit that level. It took my 5 years but I finally got my lolita act together.

To be fair, until 2011 I basically only wore lolita once a year to Dragon*con and nowhere else. So I wasn't heavily into it because I couldn't really afford brand.

I started this year, but I think I've made some progress.
Realizations:
- classic/gothic is more suiting on me (despite liking sweet cute shit, but it's mostly for conventions. I don't really wear Lolita out much aside from meetups), would really like to own some innocent world pieces as well as more lady sloth stuff because she's very affordable.
- Started with replica items, and would much rather own brand/indie at this point.
- I had to get back to loosing weight and lolita helped motivate me.

>>6427046
I ran into this girl in jtown la and complimented her coord...she looked surprised and had a wtf face expression. She's a lot bigger in real life

>>6427354
I think sweet-casual will look on you too

>>6427354
You look best with the cardigans and short sleeve blouses. Long sleeves don't do your arms justice.

>>6427410
Well, in the clock dress, I did have 3 layers on (it was a partial outdoor meetup and it was cold and rainy, so I bundled up). I'm going to wear that coord again at an upcoming convention and hopefully my arms will be a bit smaller and leaner from lifting, I want to loose another 10-15lbs by then. Problem is, I'm broad shouldered so short poofier sleeves look bad, and that's about all I can find to fit my bust measurement short-sleeve wise. I don't want to get something custom made if I'm loosing weight either. I guess I'll see where I am at in the springtime.

I made one for fun but I decided to post it becouse i doubt anyone will recognize me anyway.
ive been wearing lolita for a while now but i didnt own a camera or a phone with camera capabilities till like 2010 so i dont have very many pictures of my ita-ish phase, i used to call myself a oshare-kei decora lolita and wear a couple of crappy ebay dresses with tons of hairclips and "kawaii" accessories. it was bad.

i think ive improved a lot looking at the pictures i do have.i used to try to wear it very casually but now i go all out.

can anyone provide me with concrit/advice?

>>6427354
I think the August bittersweet looks great.
It'd be a good way to wear sweet still, but have it be more flattering.

Oh, why the hell not.

I am still learning, trying to stay out of sweet and turn more towards gothic/classic. The one thing i still don't have down yet is accessorizing. I've never owned a lot of jewelry.

>>6427453
YOU ARE SO TINY

>>6427069
what is your dress in the last picture?
also
>>6427073
me too

>>6427504
This dress from Juliette et Justine.

>>6427511
oh i see, thank you.
i like your co-ords by the way

>>6426717
Hey! I saw you at the swap meet, the one that's in your picture. Seeing that coord in person, I feel like it would have looked a lot better if you had a more pronounced head piece, or even a few smaller clips/headband/something.

>>6427525
I had a matching headdress and originally had my hair out but damr it was like 100 degrees that day wasn't having that shit XD

So I picked up Lolita early this year, and this is my progress thus far.

I think the only difference is I started buying a lot of brand

>>6427496
Dawww thank you!

>>6427453
Aah! You're so cute! I've seen you on tumblr.

Wow I don't have any pictures of my most resent coordinates.
I should fix that.

>>6427569
awww thank you!

>>6427550
Haha, same with me xD I had my hat on about 90% of the time, but it kept falling off, plus I was "so smart" and wore a heavy wig that day. I was the girl wearing the sax dress with the white ankle socks, brown shoes and bag :) (My hat had a blue ribbon around it with lace and stuff. I attached the only pic I have on my computer from the day.)

>>6427592
You look REALLY like a girl I know. Like, it's kind of uncanny. I'd almost think you were her if she wasn't a classic lolita.

>>6427627
I feel so derp I don't recall you.

>>6427592
please buy a gym membership.

>>6427668
why? I won't go.

>>6427658
Weird, but I look like a lot of people.
I think I just have a generic face.

>>6427668
she is not over weight... why suggest it? It looks like she even lost weight since the first image.

>>6427592

>>6427034
Ugh this really shows how chubby she's gotten. She used to have such a great body.

>>6427728
>>6427592
off topic but how did you manage to lose the weight so quickly? You look great by the way! :)

I ask b/c I've plateaued and no matter what I'm stuck at 150 lbs.

>>6427747
Thank you but,off topic sage...lets not derail this thread alright?

Honestly, counting calories using live strong consistently for a year now.
Plateau's suck, what I usually do is take it easy for a little while and increase calories from 1200 to like 1500-2000 for 2 days-1 week and then go back to 1200 or whatever I am doing.

Anyway, MORE PROGRESS PLEASE.

>>6427728
I think I remember you from a weight loss thread and thought you looked great in your 167 outfit. I can't even believe you're 135 in that last pic, you look really thin.

May not be the right kind of progress. But I always thought this is a nice before and after picture in weight and in style.

>>6427728
You look adorable at every single weight you stupid cutie what the heck.

>>6427782
You should see her nowadays, she's around 120/130.

>>6427767
Thank you! I have to say it looks much better now haha...I am 5'8", if that explains things.

>>6427785
Um thank you and sorry?

>>6427728
Wow, you look great! And I really love the last coord. The ponytail actually looks darling - I know a lot of people don't like ponytails in lolita, but you pull it off so well!

>>6427115
>>6427115
>all lolitas

Well that was awkward.

>>6427728
Supercat says "fuck you shower curtain, the bathtub needs to be in the shot too!"
You're a cutie. Although are you pulling your shoulders up on purpose or is it a posture thing (if so, I know that feel)? It makes the poses look a bit awkward.

>>6427560
You look lovely!
What is the aqua blue dress are you wearing in the bottom row?

>>6427560
Damn, you have an enviable waist. Very good first try, by the way!

>>6427069
Does anyone know what dress this is? Sorry, I'm just a lurker and don't know much about lolita, but this one is too gorgeous to pass up.

>>6428508
Lady Sloth 'Magical Landscape'. It's from a small indie brand.

>>6427560
Did you lose weight over time?

I'm not trying to be mean, but you kinda look like PT in the first picture. I imagine that is what PT would look like if she lost like 60 lbs.

>>6428519
thankyouthankyouthaaankyou @^@ this brand looks amazing

Here is my j-fashion transformation. I first started to get interested in j-fashion in 2009, but my outfits were so bad haha.

>>6428549

It's youuuu! Hnnng I loved when you posted in the WAYWT threads.

>>6428549
Cute ; v ;

My 2013 lolita goal: do a different pose for once, jesus christ.

>>6428460

the aqua blue dress is a homemade mermaid OP I picked up off of comm sales

>>6428522
a little, I think I only looked like PT so much because bodyline makes me look uggo

>>6428599
What's your favorite coord out of all those?

>>6428610
Hmm, I liked the Seraphim OP + straw hat coord, it was comfy and summery. Would wear again.

>>6428549
You are cute as fuck and your hair is fabulous.

>>6428599
You actually pull that short mint wig off really nicely! Never thought I'd say that to anyone.
I like that you can work with sweet and classic equally well.

>>6428620
Cool

I like the one on second row, second from the left. What do you think?

>>6428599
Hnnng, classic suits you so well <3

>>6428549
Right in the kokoro, you're absolutely adorable!

bumping for more timelines!

>>6428658
Choke it's been ages since you've posted woaa. Welcome back <3

>>6428549
You're amazing. I never would have guessed from the first picture that you'd be able to make that kind of 180, you're absolutely adorable and perfect and unf.

I think I still have a long way to go. I've been thinking about quitting lolita for more ouji because the dresses just sit in my closet.

>>6429464
and since you are very hot in ouji I wouldn't mind if you did. yum.

>>6429464
Please do. I think your boy styles are perfection. Your lolita is nicely coorded but your boy style...ultra cute!

bump for more transformations!

>>6428599
You look super stunning in the second from right, middle row! Dark hair really suits you. What is that dress btw?

>>6429464
Boystyle does suit you very well, but I also really like your Fantastic Dolly coord and the one to the left of it. Don't get rid of all your dresses!

I guess I've learned to stay the fuck away from sweet. Or pink at least. Haven't had time to wear so much this year, hopefully 2013 will be different!

>>6431427
you somehow got worse.

>>6431427
I disagree, although I like her middle row the best.

>>6428549
wow, you really are adorable

>>6431443
True. It's like she got better and then worse.

>>6428549
YOU ARE SO ADORABLE
;__;

Dat bag.

>>6428599
You look like a kitty turned human on the second pic in the middle row.
And your outfits are awesome.
And I love how you always smile and manages to look good.

>>6431437
>>6431443
>>6431453
Not going to disagree, I know I wasn't impressing anyone this year. Glad I put it together though, lets me see what worked and what didn't work in the past. I'm open to more specific concrit as well if you've got any to offer.

>>6429473
>>6429560
Haha thank you!

>>6431425
I already got rid of the Fantasic Dolly. It was just a replica though lol. Dream of Lolita sucks so much.

>>6428599
You look so cute in all your pictures! I have to ask I have that AP polkadot dress and matching headbow in a different colorway...how did you get the headbow to stand up straight on your head? Mine right now is weird looking- I think it's supposed to lay flat against your head but the fabric is so stiff it definitely doesn't do that!

bump

>>6431547
Thank you! I had to pin it, but I don't really remember exactly how I did it... I don't have the bow with me so I can't check but I remember it took some fiddling for sure. It's a weird bow.

>>6431479
meow meow thank you :3

>>6431418
Thanks, it's Baby's Seraphim OP (first release)!
http://lolibrary.org/node/1937

>>6429464
C-could you post the picture in the bottom left corner please?
I have a terrible urge to save it.

>>6427116
Whew, so I finally sat down and took the time to put the majority of my coords into a collage.

>>6431786
2006-2009?

>>6431868
Pretty much nonexistent. I had some other offbrand dresses from ebay and F+F but I never took any pictures when I went out in lolita during that time.

>>6431427
You look so dumpy now. The middle row is the best, and my favorite is the pink oldschool coord that you apparently hated so much that it made you sell the dress.

>>6427728
I think you look cutest with your hair up in the last picture.

>>6431701
Here you go~

>>6428426
Lol thank you, I think it must be a posture thing?
Because I did not know I did that.
>>6427808
Thank you! I think it just gives more volume to my hair that it otherwise has none of haha.
>>6432239
Thankies!

>>6428549
God you are so cute it hurts.

>>6428599
Wow, I am really jelly of your closet! I have been trying to get my hands on a pink fancy melody jsk forever. And lotta? and Seraphim?! a-and that MM and I am going to stop fawning now.
Also, black looks especially wonderful on you!
>>6429464
You were made for ouji, it looks so nice on you!

>>6431427
You have that Meta crown label jsk in black and lavender?! My jelly.
also It looks so much nicer on you then it does on me /forever tall

>>6431786
The wig color is October 12 suits you very nicely! I think dark colored hair would look very nice on you. Your legs also look so fab!

>>6433387
Gah I am not op, sorry that was on from another thread...

>>6427048
pretty cute and unusual

>>6427048

Is her name mia or something? The photo with her having green/yellow split hair, I know I've seen her on a website using the name miss mia or something similar. Does she have a tumblr?

>>6427048


Is that MiezeMia? I remember seeing photos her on some website. Does she have a tumblr or something?

>>6432016
ok thanks, i see what you mean. not going to make excuses for it, I agree.

>> jeah, i think so. Let me see, http://miezemia.tumblr.com
