>>9733477
I swear I've seen a lot more lingerie in larme but I can't find it rn. Anyone remember which volumes had them?

>>9734237
>You might not be aware, but many jfashions have suffered from SS and scalpers scooping up cheap finds and jacking the prices up, which then outprices the domestic market.
Examples?

That doesn't explain why some sellers on Yahoo Auctions would disallow SSs either.

>>9734243
You pay twice. How is that much of a hassle?

>>9734418
I know this picture is from HMH so it's technically okay to open a thread with it but I have to just ask. She is so ugly, why start a thread with this image? Seriously, she strongly resembles quasimodo.

So an anon in the last thread mentioned not buying anything from Japanese brands lately due to the availability of suitable items in the western market.

What offbrand items have you guys picked up lately? Are there any Larme trends that you feel you can't shop offbrand for?

>>9734581
>Omits 2/3 of why I think it's a hassle
>"How is it a hassle?"
Like it's fine that it doesn't bother you and all, but I personally find it inconvenient, and I'm far from the only one.

>>9735312
We have a fast fashion brand here called Garage and they've recently remodeled themselves from black and hot pink skimpy stuff to like soft pastel pyjama party aesthetic. I've found some things that remind me a lot of brand pieces.

Like I got this top in the khaki color that was big for a while. Irl the sleeves are more poofy in the way a lot of tops from Bonbon are.

>>9735464
They also have this top which, while I'm not a fan of either, looks an awful lot like one from Bonbon

>>9735467
And obviously we would layer this under something, but lettuce hems were a pretty understated trend a while back, and so was glittery black. And of course sheer fabric is always in in Larme.

They also had some super fluffy sweaters I couldn't find on the website.

>>9735467
what happened to this girls neck?

>>9735486
what?

>>9734551
I don't think anyone looks at the magazine anymore lol

Has anyone ever managed to get their hands on those? I swear they sell out in under a minute every time.

>>9737750
I think it's super lame to know so much about what's going to be in it beforehand

>>9737757
Why so salty?

>>9737762
Projecting?

>>9737769
Look, I know learning new buzzwords is fun, but that's not how you use that one.

If you're still this upset about being told we need to know the items before we give you a price I think you need to go to a therapist for your anger issues.

>>9737772
Salty is the buzzword in this situation. I'm confused how you got ''salty'' from my comment and have no idea what you're talking about. I just think having a surprise lucky bag is a lot of fun.

>>9737780
This reply doesn't make a lot a sense explaining your first comment.

How is knowing what's in a bag "super larme"? That's an odd comment unless you were trying to be passive aggressive about the last thread.

>>9737783
Because I love surprises I didn't try to get the lucky bag

>>9737792
But how is knowing what's in a bag "super larme"? That doesn't make any sense.

>>9737820
nayrt but they said "lame" not "larme."

>>9737820
It's just my opinion ffs. Maybe it's not lame to you but I don't like it. Get it?

>>9737824
Can't believe I didn't notice that myself

>>9737824
saying super larme instead of super lame is even less salty

>>9737824
Holy fuck excuse me for being retarded.

>>9737825
Sorry anon this ones entirely on me.

What are some of your favorite movies with a larme feel? I'm planning a little sleepover with a couple of friends, and so far the only one that's coming to mind is Heathers.

>>9737859
There've been movie recs in larme magazine

>>9737859
Breakfast at Tiffany's but I may be biased because Audrey Hepburn is mai waifu.

It's even on trend with the bedding/eye mask trend.

>>9737750
So, just because it was unclear from the last thread, do eatme ship abroad? Specifically to the UK? I know they have a rakuten so assume they do but I just wanna double check.

Also - how long does alice fururun typically take to get back to you with an invoice? I bought a couple of things the previous anon linked in the last thread - Thanks anon btw I've been looking for the melancholy lady bag forever, if anyone on here has a black one they'd like to part with I will buy it in a heartbeat - but haven't heard back (Other than the auto confirmation) yet. I'm not too worried because it's new year, but when should I start to be concerned?

>>9737757
Most lucky packs have set items nowadays. At least eatme gives you a few mystery ones. swankiss, Ank rouge, onespo, etc, all have bags with lucky pack exclusive items, and they are considerably lower quality than their normal fare.

>>9735312
Finally getting around to answering my own question:

I've had a lot of luck with forever 21 lately, actually, especially with tops. They skew for a younger audience and tend to pump out a lot of trendy items, so there's a lot of items that can feasibly work in Larme. They have cold shoulder tops, ruffles, bell sleeves, etc. pic related.

The site and stores are so big that they can be hard to search through. When on the site search for certain key words like "velvet" or limit your searches to certain colors. In the stores themselves, take a quick look and pick out a section that "speaks to you." Each section is supposedly centered on a certain girl or look, so you're likely to like most of the items in a section.

A nice thing too is that they tell you the fabric content on the site, and a lot of their clothes have at least of blend of cotton, rayon, or nylon so they're more comfortable than you might think.

I used to buy a lot of stuff from Asos, but lately their trends haven't aligned as well with Larme trends. A lot of basic stuff and party dresses now.

H&M has good stuff sometimes, but it's really once in a blue moon and even then it'll be like one item from the whole site. My local h&m isn't any better. Their style is very minimalist, so don't expect to find the extra details that Larme clothing often has.

I've perused sites like misguided, prettylittlething, boohoo, etc, but I rarely pull the trigger. The one time I bought stuff from boohoo I was not very happy with the quality and feel. I suppose you get what you pay for, but I can find better stuff at f21 and taobao for similar prices so I mostly skip it now. Those sites are mostly trendy party clothes, with lots of bodycon booty hugging dresses.

>>9738109
Speaking of f21, I'm considering getting these. They're a little out of my usual style, especially with the stiletto, but it kind of reminds me of something bonbon might put out. Is the stiletto too sexy for Larme?

>>9735312
>>9738109
As for Larme trends that are hard to offbrand, I kind of alluded to it in my comment above but SKIRTS. Now finding A-line skirts isn't so bad, and the long swishy skirts with a layer of tulle or something you see so often in Larme aren't hard to find either. But my favorite Larme trend is straight-line pencil skirts and dresses.

I love the look of a skirt that just follows the line of the hips straight down. They're easy to move in despite the cut, and the "gap" on the sides of the hem makes your legs look smaller imo. Whereas the western silhouette is really about bodycon or at least form fitting bottoms, so you get a skirt that more naturally follows the curve of the body.

This isn't the best picture but I tried to illustrate it with two skirts that are somewhat similar. Left skirt is from the Japanese branch Katie. Notice the straight cut from the hips down. The left is from gojane, using a stretchier material the hugs the hips and then curves inward.

Am I just not using the right keywords to look for the kind of skirt I'm describing? It's a problem I have with a lot of western clothes in general. Just way too tight, especially across the butt. Maybe if I buy clothing made for older women, but then it ends up just being drab. I also recognize that if you have a curvier silhouette then nothing is going to fit "straight" on you, but personally I can fit into most brand and taobao clothes so I go to those sources for my skirt fix. But it would be nice to find something without an import surcharge.

I also can't find many cute flatforms but I'm not surprised by that. They are definitely more a short Japanese girl thing.

>>9738139
Another example.

>>9738139
>Am I just not using the right keywords to look for the kind of skirt I'm describing?
No, I think basically the type of skirt you want is very rare, or doesn't exist in the west. Japan has a history of tube silhouettes because of kimono and traditional dress, it's seen as elegant and ladylike. Where as in the west we don't have that and fitted skirts have always taken that place, minimising curves is a massive no-no and faux pas, especially now with as you say bodycon being in fashion.

I love how it looks as well anon, but unfortunately my hips are ~39" and I'm 5'1 so it just makes me look really wide and short, not to mention they'll just probably never fit into fitted brand anyway lol.

for flatforms, look in the teens section of high street shops. I have some really cute ones from new look I've had resoled twice because I love them so much.

>>9738139
I'm glad someone else has noticed this; it's one of those subtle things about the aesthetic a lot of people don't pick up on. I do it by buying oversized pencil skirts and just completely re-sewing the side-seams. It is a bit of effort, but it's one of the easier modifications to make to clothing, and it makes it fit perfectly.

What's wrong with zozo.jp?

>>9737859
I think the Virgin Suicides movie has a larme vibe, though I didn't care for it

>>9738681

Girl Interrupted

Worst Witch

Heathers

Thirteen

Ghost World

Mean Creek

Mystery Train

>>9737859
Umbrellas of Cherbourg maybe

>>9738139
That's actually a really interesting observation. I feel like those skirts would be called straight cut, like jeans, but they are a rarity in American fashion at least.

>>9738151
I've never thought about it that way, but it makes a lot of sense. I'm not super well versed in historical fashion, western or otherwise, but you're right that it doesn't seem to have the same historical context in the West that it does in Japan.

I'm sorry these kind of skirts don't work for you anon. I have the same problem with jumpsuits and rompers. A lot of Larme brands have these jumpsuits that look super cute on the models and then just make me look like a child who doesn't know how to dress. So I guess some things work for some people and don't for others. Maybe you could try as >>9738570 suggested and try tailoring them to your body?


>>9738570
Yeah, it's kind of something you have to look for and I've just noticed it over time. When I see offbrand western coords with a tight offbrand skirt it just looks a little too much, imo. But I get that there's also the issue that if you have a curvier body than the average Japanese girl then it's hard to get that straight silhouette anyway.

I can still fit into brand and taobao so I just get a few skirts and then vary up my tops for interest. I want to get into sewing soon though so I can do a little altering of some of the stuff I find in thrift stores and the like.

>>9740334
I've tried using that term to search for it but it doesn't come up with much, and certainly nothing that can be called cute. Ah well.

>>9738571
What's wrong with it? The site works fine for me.

>>9741481
On another note, I feel like western fashion may be starting to diverge from Larme trends again. I'm seeing a lot atheleisure and "back to basics" sort of styles. One of the only newish trends that I do like mixing with Larme is the glitter and metallic trends, but those already seem to be on the way out to make room for atheleisure and florals (for spring? Groundbreaking.) Many of the sites and stores I used to go to to get my offbrand fix have been barren lately. Like I said earlier forever 21 skews younger so they'll have some of the more fun and out there trends, but I don't know if that will change.

The biggest problem with Larme right now is that it lacks innovation. Don't get me wrong, I still really like Larme and the current trends and I still buy new brand releases, but it's definitely at a slower rate than when I first got into Larme. I mean, how many variations of the same top or skirt do I really need? That may be a big part of the recent decline in interest in the style.

Larme also lacks the collectibility of lolita. Hell, even menhera and fairy kei have collectible pieces and new prints popping up. The proliferation of usable items in the western market also makes Larme seem less "special" or "unique" (you definitely hear things like Larme is too normie from girls into other jfashions). It's funny that we're arrived at this point since when I first joined the Larme threads when they first started popping up on cgl, a common refrain was "no you can't offbrand Larme." Obviously a lot has changed in a couple of years.

At the same time, part of the reason I like Larme is because of the current look it has, even if it hasn't changed much and even if it looks normie now. I still think it has a very distinctive look, which will only become more apparent as western fashion moves in a different direction.

>>9741506
That said, some of my feelings about the style have changed over time. I feel less inclined to stick to the perfect Larme "ready for magazine" look and don't always put 100% into my hair and makeup. I still cringe at some of the more egregious western coords out there, but I definitely give people more of a pass than I used to.

I'm also trying to mix in some western trends with Larme to spice things up. We'll see where that goes.

>>9737859
I haven't seen the movie, just some scenes on youtube, but perhaps 'Valley of the Dolls" is also larme-ish? It does have the retro vibe at least.

>>9741836
Or whoops, vintage*. Something that looks where the retro vibe in Larme fashion could be based on, if you get my point.

>>9738139
What Western brands are you looking at? I have pic related, which isn't larme but it has that shape and it wasn't hard to find at all.

>>9738139

so this merry jenny bear is sold out.. does anyone know where I can get similar accessories?

>>9742773
Well, you could buy the knockoff version off taobao.

>>9743242
I don't buy knockoffs, just looking for other brands that have bear accessories or other cute hairclips

What are some good secondhand larme shops? I only know girly-cute but they don't have much

>>9743648
Check out the last thread :)

Are you the one from the last thread who pulled this same bullshit?

>>9744228
You mean the previous thread where no secondhand shops were mentioned besides lolita ones? Admittedly I didn't read every single post, but am I gonna waist my time with that.

>>9744238
>I'm too lazy to do something everyone else does so do it for me

You have to be trolling

>>9744247
I'm not asking you to read every single post in archived larme threads, I'm asking if you know any second hand larme shops or at least second hand normie or girly shops that have a lot of larme brands

>>9744267
Lurk more.

>>9744267
NAYRT but asking for info when it's easily available in the archives is generally frowned upon on by /cgl/. I know the attitude here can be abrasive but if you took the suggestion to lurk you can easily avoid this as well as get your information. There's a lot of resources in past threads for questions most people who come here often already know the answer to that you can find in the archives.

>>9744187
I humored your dumb question, and this is your response? No we haven't found any new shops in the past two weeks you ungrateful shit.
>>9744238
>You mean the previous thread where no secondhand shops were mentioned besides lolita ones?
That's because no one here knows any others

>>9743648
Fril & mercari have most of the hip "new" brands. Think mon lily, eatme, e hyphen bonbon, etc. so you may be out of luck searching for some of those on secondhand sites sorry to say.

Yahoo auctions jp - search by brand.
Zozoused - has a lot of brands, even has brands they don't sell on their main site.
Rakuten - there are multiple secondhand shops on there, use the search bar to search by brand and you'll find some old stuff.
Wunderwelt - has a "Larme kei" section, but most of the stuff is from the brand Milk so not all of it fits. Also has some stuff from Katie.
Vector-park - search by brand. Not much there but worth a look.
Grand bazaar - search by brand. Mostly older or more upscale brands.

>>9744334
Like I said, I'm looking for shops, so not platforms where people sell their used clothes themselves. But some of these are useful, so thanks.

>>9744293
So you wanted me to go through old threads to look for something that isn't there?

>>9744844
Fuck off already.

>>9744844
With the exception of yahoo auctions, all of those are shops. What else are you looking for?

Honestly though most girls prefer to sell their old stuff themselves these days, not to secondhand stores, so you're not going to see much out there. That's the honest truth.

>>9744879
You need to calm down

>>9744886
I meant I already know about fril and mercari and that's not what I was looking for, I guess I just feel defensive lol. Thanks for the other shops, I didn't know about grand bazaar and vector-park.

>>9744912
You need to fuck off.

>>9744958
Why?

>>9744969
Because you're asking stupid questions with a sense of entitlement that's shitting up the thread.

>>9744970
But I didn't ask the question

I don't get why you are so passionate about a niche fashion. It's weird.

>>9745020
>I don't get why you are so passionate about a niche fashion. It's weird.

Why are you even on /cgl/

>>9745036
I like fashion but I don't get angry with people over it

>>9745061
Clearly you haven't been here for long. Lurk more.

>>9745071
Guess not

>>9745105
Yeah there's always angry people shitting up the thread

Ok, enough infighting.

F21 came out with some ruffle suspended pants for those of you who can't fit into brand versions.

>>9750390

Seems that way

>>9750390
>>9750542
I think actually what we have is one anon who for some reason feels the need to say that larme is dying in every thread. We also used to have possible several anons who would come in every thread to derail with
>larme isn't jfashion
when it was more popular.

It's not dying, it's just gone back to the same level of popularity it had before people thought it was the hot bandwagon to hop onto. Anons have admitted to coming in here just to shit up the thread because they don't like the style in the confessions threads.

There's just some salty lolitas out there who're mad as fuck about the existence of more casual styles.

>>9750571
I just don't feel the need to post here as often anymore. I've been in this style long enough, I don't need coord help, I don't need to discuss or crit other girl's coords, Larme doesn't have the gotta-catch-em-all of lolita so I don't need to discuss brands that much...

I mean I guess we could argue about something. That's what makes the threads speed up. Lolita threads would be just as dead without their salt.

>>9750606
Also, a lot of the early threads were about defining Larme, since it was so new and not as nailed down yet. If you've been following all this time you should have a good idea of what you're doing.

>>9750606
>>9750612
Feel exactly the same way anon. I used to post a lot of OC in the earlier threads but once I stopped getting criticism I basically didn't feel the need to ask anymore. Plus I want content for my social media sites, and would prefer that it doesn't link me back here.

Risa is back for Larme 32

>>9753371
That hair is retro in a bad way. Yikes.

>>9750571
Why you throwing lolitas under the bus? Bitch

>>9750606
You too. Larme has new trends each season that we could discuss, and we haven't even really talked about the latest issue.

>>9753388
because lolitas have admitted to it, it's not throwing you under the bus if we know you're doing it. Don't like it? Police your faction of the board better and stop sandvagina chans shitting up our threads.

>>9753391
>Larme has new trends each season that we could discuss,
It's hard to discuss new trends when you're not allowed to post new content - since all that shit happened with the fb group people rarely post images of non-models in the fashion. It seems like the anons who used to do imagedumps and whatnot have vanished, which has really stilted any discussion of recent trends.

>>9753397
You could also discuss the things you see in your own copy of the magazine.

>>9753371
I know this cover is cheesy as fuck but I love it, definitely getting this issue

>>9753399
by the time I personally get it it's usually a little out of date lmao. Not that I don't look at scans in the meantime but it seems to be frowned upon to post scans.

Larme trends haven't really changed that much lately so not much to discuss imo. I do love the new cover though, loving that retro vibe.

>>9753464
So you're not allowed to post scans or coords here? I thought this was cgl

>>9753525
I'll try and find it in the archive, but basically there was some drama after anons posted imagedumps from the FB group and some got harsh concrit. I think one of the group owners basically threatened to kick a bunch of people out and make the group private. Then mods here started policing the threads more heavily (?) so we haven't even been able to post other people's coords with nice comments since then. Not sure if that's 100% correct 'cause I'm not in the FB group but yeah. Sure some other anon will remember correctly.

As for scans it always starts a fight about stealing.

>>9753534
I remember that but as far as I know cgl's mods don't give a shit unless you post names

>>9753651
I was there during that time and wound up banned for a few days. And I was the de facto OP poster for over a year at that point (been slacking now, thanks to those of you who have been doing it in my place) and a frequent contributor in all threads. Not sure what the janitors had up their butts at that time because lolita threads certainly never got the same treatment.

>>9753658
Had to post the above on the fly but since I'm home I'll expand in it a bit: from what I remember people were just posting coords and critiquing them, and most weren't even that mean. Honestly the worst comments usually got called out. A lot of the pictures were from the Facebook group, but there were also some from tumblr and insta.

The Facebook group got in a tizzy and closed down the group and the mods went a little nuts with one mod considering nuking the whole group. Meanwhile I'm assuming they went on a reporting spree and the janitors just went along with it, leaving a trail of short term bans in their wake. I was banned for posting a screen cap from the Facebook group about what was going on, for "inciting drama" or something.

It was suddenly about how mean people on cgl were and how toxic it was and people wondering how to find out who was on cgl so they could be kicked out of the group. They decided to kick out "lurkers," assuming that no active users would be on cgl, which got the lurkers upset for basically being called guilty with no evidence.

I still don't get what the big deal was. Again the crit wasn't her bad and generally constructive, not a bunch of meanies being meanies for no reason. My coords were also posted and commented on, didn't really give a shit.

>>9753658
you can also get banned for complaining about the janitors. and I've been banned for several days when I asked if an efamous lolita is a lesbian because she'd posted pictuers of herself at a gay bar.

>>9753681
Well that wasn't what I was banned for at the time. It was also likely different janitors from the ones right now. I feel like we go through periods or strict janitors and low key janitors.

>>9753684
did you always blur out names?

>>9753686
I don't remember if I did, so that could have been it. I'll have to see if I can find the thread. I'd think the ban would be for not name blurring then, not something nebulous like "no drama."

I did find the "don't cry baby" thread:

https://rbt.asia/cgl/thread/8891534/#8891534

I'm looking for the Larme general with the subsequent fallout.

>>9753693
Ok think I found it:

https://rbt.asia/cgl/thread/9128064/

There's some stuff with names crossed out, some not, and tons of other comments in between. Not sure which ones I made to be honest.

All the Larme x My Melody collab stuff is so cute.

A couple 032 pages.

>>9756203

>>9756204

>>9756206
This cardigan is a good choice if you want to look broad shouldered.

>>9756208

Can anyone recommend some Larme related instagram accounts? I feel like I follow everytone worth following but you never know.

Also Katie's SS look book is out and I'm absolutely loving it.

>>9757812
Oh shit that's pretty cute. Can you post some more looks anon?

On an unrelated note, that might not be 100% within the scope of the thread, but it's something I've been wondering about. Every few threads there's some variant of the whole 'larme is just whatever the current trends are' discussion, but at the same time, nearly every single time I see someone post a look which is 100% western brands it just doesn't have the same feel or visual interest. That's something which I've noticed with a lot of jfashion in general - even if the pieces in a coord are pretty normie compared to, say, an ott lolita coord, the final look has a feel which would be hard to achieve if you just hit the high street and called it a day. The pencil skirt discussion at >>9738139 is one of those details I think, but I've been trying to pinpoint where the exact differences lie. Any thoughts?

>>9760268
>pencil skirt discussion
you do see pencil skirts like that in western fashion though. i'm sorry y'all just look at cheap fast fashion.

>>9760309
You do yeah, but that's not the point as the people posting in the FB group (for example) aren't wearing interesting western designers but whatever they find in the new look sale bin. If you have any interesting coords that are neither cheapo high street nor head to toe Japanese brands just post them.

Why cant we post peoples coords here again?

>>9761147
Because someone got banned for not removing names

Honest and slightly-OTT question: How long would you guys see yourselves wearing larme?

I'm in my mid-20s and I finally am starting to have enough disposable income to justify getting in on Jfashion. I bought a few pieces of classic lolita because I can see myself still wearing these same pieces in the future, but up to what age would you wear your larme pieces? I just feel like I got into this stuff so late :(

>>9761161
Just depends on the brands. I'm the same age as you and I go for styles that have a slightly more mature feel. Just look at Verybrain/Eatme, they have a lot of very structured cuts that are still definitely larme.

>>9761147
>>9761160
We can try it again with no names and see what happens. I'll pull up some later. I'd even post myself but I haven't taken ootd pictures in ages.

>>9761264
Maybe if we don't post really bad ones they won't get so salty

>>9761267
We can also pull from tumblr and insta since those are both public.

Honestly except for a few that are total cringe, I can usually find one or two features of a coord I like even if I don't like the whole look. When the coord is really bad it just looks like frumpy normiewear, whereas ita lolita crap has a much greater chance of looking like a total disaster.

>>9760372
Agreed, I wouldn't mind seeing some Larme coords with higher end Western brands. I feel like a lot of designer brands would blend wel with Larme. But most girls are going the offbrand route so they can do Larme cheaply, so its not something we really see.

>>9761161
Agreed with >>9761164. I'm 27 and I intend to wear Larme or some variation of it for a while. Plus many of the models in he magazine are in their upper 20s already, so it's definitely not just a teenage girl's style.

Like that anon said it depends on what brands and cuts you choose. I've been wearing Larme to work more often lately, so I've been choosing brands like Eatme that have more a more mature style. Pic related is the dress I'm wearing today. It has a knee length skirt but it still looks Larme because of the bodice styling.

I also feel like choosing higher quality pieces will help you look more mature. Verybrain may be a little out of your price range, but I would be more choosy with brands like Swankiss, mon lily, or Ank rouge as they tend to be lower quality. Take a good look at any pictures if you're ordering online (as most of us have to do). I still buy from those brands but I may skip on things with obvious crappy lace.

Adding black to an outfit can also make colors like pink & white read as more mature.

>>9761295
It won't let me upload it for some reason, but this is the dress I'm talking about

http://zozo.jp/sp/shop/eatme/goods-sale/16566247/

So since no one is volunteering, I'll post some coords from instagram.

Starting with one I really like. Nearly everything in the picture is Eatme so I'm biased, but the imo it's well coordinated, though it's hard to go wrong with all brand. I like her makeup too, it's subtle while still having a Larme feel. She could maybe do something more with her hair but honestly I think it's fine as is with the gentle wave. Any more and it could overpower the rest of the outfit.

My only nitpick is the black harness with the white ruffle of the shirt. It looks like two harnesses that don't match overlapping each other. That only my opinion though.

>>9762001
Tagged as Larme kei and I can see the elements, but personally I think the patterned syrup tights aren't very Larme despite them being by syrup. Thoughts? I just don't see much in the way of patterns in legwear in the magazine.

>>9762007
Tagged as both casual lolita and Larme. Not really sure what's going on here... I like the cost but that's about it.

Also I'm going to be honest, I don't really like unnatural hair colors in Larme. It just throws the look off imo, especially when the color clashes with the rest of the outfit.

>>9762012
When a normie finds the Larme kei tag. No really, her account has nothing to do with jfashion or fashion in general.

I'm guessing she tagged it because she's wearing fluffy mules and what looks like a lace up type skirt. Pretty good example of how Larme differs from normie clothing, even when some of the same elements pop up in both.

>>9762007
I used to have some street snaps that I considered pretty larme with these tights saved, but the laptop with them on died, rip in peace.

They seemed more "in" when they were a general trend in jfash/street style, but nowadays they're just a little dated regardless of how well they mesh imo.

>>9762012
I don't like this but it'd be a lot more acceptable if she weren't fat and wore a bra that actually fits. Marylin merch is always kinda tacky but it kinda suits the printed t-shirt trend. Honestly it reminds me of the more casual stuff you see japanese people wear. Also think a pair of platform converse would actually work, I see a lot of casual looks using them. Also needs legwear.

>>9762016
adding socks/fishnets would instantly up how larme this is, but not quite enough as you say, the normie items are just patently too normie.

>>9762012
They use tags so more people see their posts, so that doesn't mean it's a larme or lolita coord. If it doesn't really look like a larme coord,don't post it here.

>>9762125
Yeah, no shit Sherlock. It's called spam tagging, and it's the reason you're only allowed a limited number of tags on a website. Because you're not supposed to tag unrelated shit. Do you think the people searching the lolita tag actually want to see this? No. It has and always will be fair game to criticise something in the thread relevant tag.

>>9762007
Those tights are by Grimoire originally...

>>9762145
Whatever, just don't post that shit in this thread

>>9762202
Not the anon who posted it but that coord is clearly an attempt at larme, it's just bad.

>>9762172
Whoops my mistake. I thinks syrup did something similar so I confused them!

>>9762007
I think this would be really cute with fishnets to play the cuteness of the outfit down.

>>9762054
Yeah the tights are fairly subtle as far as printed tights go so I can see them working with Larme despite the fact that the magazine doesn't really feature them. They do read as dated though. Does grimoire even sell them anymore or is it just the replicas going around? Fishnets would be nice too here as >>9762292 said. Right now it's a little TOO cute without any sexy or mature elements.

>>9762125
With the leopard print coat I assumed they were going for Larme more than casual lolita. But the skirt is just horrible for either style. And for the record I didn't post her because of her weight, the outfit is strictly a mess.

As for the normie outfit adding fishnet socks might help, but the silhouette, makeup, and hair just seem normal instagram girl to me. When people talk about Larme being too normie this is the extreme my head goes to and I'm like nooo not really.

Will post more when I get home.

>>9762016
I feel like from the waist down this sort of falls apart. Not hating the unnatural hair color as much in this one but I still think it would look better with a natural hair color. Digging the beret.

>>9762435
I like this one from her better. It's soft and flowy and I love the floral. I really like that style of Larme, although you don't see it on westerners much. The bunny wreath is a nice prop too. But the hair. The haaaaaaair. I feel like she could also do with softer makeup for this look.

>>9762445
This whole outfit is literally last year's Swankiss LP out of the bag.

>>9762447
I don't follow Swankiss much since most of their stuff is too ott for me but WELL that would explain why the coord doesn't look like shit. Maybe I should look around for the pants then, if it's from a lucky bad they're probably cheap.

>>9762445
Cherry cordial (Reseller, mostly Liz Lisa) posts themselves to Larme tags all the time so I figure they're fair game. Why do they always make their models look so... dirty? I don't know what it is but all of their pictures look dirty and unappealing to me. This particular girl always looks like she's dying.

>>9762461
A literal ghost

>>9762466
Posted on tumblr to the Larme kei tag. I'm disturbed.

Found this on instagram.
I wanna fight whoever made it. I can't even comprehend how far it is from the larme aesthetic

>>9762480
>larme kei fashion
Somehow this bothered me most of all.

>>9762480
So basically screamqueens-kei.

Shit like this is why Larme gets mistaken for nymphet shit.

>>9762479
I actually kinda like this ngl. It'd be cool for an editorial or something, but not for daily wear.

has anyone got any pics with harnesses saved? Particularly suspenders style, that don't cross over. Just got a pretty nice one for cheap on ebay and I'd love some inspo.

>>9763210
I dunno, I think the makeup looks like shit.

>>9762012
>I don't really like unnatural hair colors in Larme.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure unnatural colors haven't been in the magazine since a handful of pics of Amo in the first couple volumes, and people really blow those pics out of proportion. I understand that not everyone wants to dye their hair just to try out the style, but people need to stop pretending it's on par with brown/natural colors.

>>9762447
Hey, if it means the outfit doesn't suck, then by all means...

>>9762479
Honestly this would be pretty good if she did better eyeliner; and I mean like aside from the obvious, it's way too thick.

>>9763384
I think it's fine to have unnatural hair if you're wearing Swankiss style OTT larme. The designer Hikapu and the shopgirls have unusual hair colors

>>9763384
>>9763402
I don't even like the colored hair with the Swankiss style either, to be honest.

>>9763402
I agree. That's kind of the Swankiss look.
I didn't mean to knock wearing LPs or set outfits, just wanted it to be known so that credit's given where it's due.

Overall, I think there are a lot of issues in the Western comm, many of which are faced by all jfashions at one point or another.

We tend to put Japanese models (and in the case of larme, the magazine) on a pedestal, and the effect is twofold.

>Others attempts, particularly attempts within our own community, are judged against almost impossibly high standards.
In my experience, very few regular girls in the west have the closet, hair, makeup, and photography capabilities of models or wannabe models/shopgirls. On top of the sheer amount of money it would require, most people don't have the time between school/work. A lot of girls in the Japanese fashion communities are essentially freeters and neets with wealthy parents.
And even many of them had rocky or almost comically cute beginnings. Look at old photos of Misako or how much Risa has even changed within her professional career.
Also, the fact is, most Westerners are bigger, in both height and girth, than Asians. Clothes fit for smaller people won't fit us the same, which brings me to my next point.

>Fixation on specific brands, models, and images, to the rejection of and exclusion of new ideas or the non-idolized, eventually leads to stagnation and a slow dissipation.
Quality control is important, and I'm glad we can all agree that that one Chinese chick on FB has no idea what she's doing. But I think we need to loosen up and open up a bit. Gulls have been saying that they feel it's died down and the Western comm is stuck on the old black x pink theme. From my observations, this is at least partially due to our insistence on a very specific "larme" look and our idolization of Japanese images.

Sorry for the blog post.

>>9762461
Aw man, I feel the same way. I feel cunty thinking about it, but they just look...gross. The main girl definitely has an ED.

I think it may be the way they take photos? They're quite...yellow. And it looks like they take a lot of photos standing on a bed.

>>9762466

Thats fuck all.

Ayagram creeps me out so much... she looks like a fucking ghost. She over edits herself far too much...

My Swankiss lucky bag from TOM came in today

>>9763997
I am so sorry.

>>9764021
Why?

>>9763997
It's much better than what other anons in the lucky pack thread got

>>9764060
because its the ugliest pieces I have ever seen

Do you know Peiliee shop? Has anybody ordered something from them? I found their insta only some time ago and their clothes are really cute, affordable and some of them could fit into Larme inspired look.

But I am confused if they are a real handmade brand or more like a taobao reseller? Items are so cheap to be handmade and a few designs are almost identical to Katie's and Rose Marie Seoir's. It can be a coincidence or concious copying, not sure.. The dress on the pic looks exactly like RMS dress that was released last year.

>>9766484
I'm 99% sure it's just taobao resellers. I mean, no returns & despite the store being Swedish they have exclusively Asian models for everything. I haven't had a look myself yet but you'd be better off just getting it straight from the source probably

Does anyone have any nice larme pieces they're thinking of selling? I'd like to bulk up my wardrobe a bit but keimarket is dead and the fb group is just full of Liz Lisa.

>>9767776
I have some RM Seoir pieces and shoes (24.5cm), a Katie corset skirt, and Ank Rouge tops I'm selling. I will post pics when I get home tonight.

>>9766484
They're a taobao reseller. If you like something, save the image and try doing the search by image on taobao and you'll most likely find the original link. If you don't post it here, taking a quick glance at Peiliee's store I can identity most of the taobao shops they get their stock from. Some of their pieces do also appear to be replicas.

As for the dress in your image, I can't find it in their site anymore so I don't know which shop it might have come from.

I received this in my Swankiss lucky bag. What could it be? It seems like a belt or bandana to me

>>9768209
it's a whip. bdsm is larme now.

>>9768253
>>>/r9k/

Larme made me treasure my plain brown hair. I'm glad that such a pretty and subtly sexy fashion puts so much emphasis on my earthy locks.

>>9767893
What colour is the skirt?

>>9768209
Definitely a belt, anon. I can't find the stock photo for it atm, but I'm pretty sure I saw that at some point.

>>9768253
Well Larme has had some of those elements for a while.

>>9768297
That's not really BDSM related so much as it is general lingerie themes. Unless you're really telling me garter belts are exclusively BDSM.

>>9768302
I was thinking more the harness and the tata bows. There's also a verybrain dress with a whips print that I would love to own. I can't find a picture right now but this top has the same print.

>>9768308
not to mention the entire katie collection based around Bettie Page.

>>9768308
Found it on fril but it was sold out

>>9768358
Fuck i love Verybrain, why is it so expensive

>>9768358
Found it worn

>>9768362
Verybrain prices make me cry but their stuff is so lovely.

heartbreakcherry_blogspot_co_il/2018/01/larme-kei-does-not-exist-but-i-wear-it.html

Thoughts on this?

>>9772506
replace underscores with full stops because spam filter

>>9772506
I don't get it when people say you need to keep up with the latest larme trends. I don't have hundreds of dollars to drop on new clothes every year and throw out. Apparently this is a common practice in Korea/Japan but I don't see the point when no one else around me cares.

>>9772530
Ultimately fashion is for you, so you do you.
I also don't buy a ton of new stuff every year, mostly slowly accumulate a piece here and a piece there with a haul or two thrown in.

>>9772530
This. I know that larme is about wearing trendy clothes in a girly way but I don't think that buying items to match Japanese larme trends
every season is the way to go. Surely some pieces like ones in >>9768387 >>9766484 >>9763485 >>9763257 are all very larme despite maybe not being super current?

I also think OP is trying too hard to reinvent larme in the west. We need more outfits and content from our community to keep it alive, not preachy advice like this. And why doesn't OP lead by example? Seems fishy to me.

A while ago some anon kept asking for lingerie and sleepwear spreads. Well this isn't Larme but it's really a really cute project https://camp-fire.jp/projects/view/61322

>>9772578
Let's be honest, her post is only gaining traction because of the whole 'larme has no rules!!' message which must speak quite deeply to a group which is so badly dressed in the whole.

>>9772578
You say that those things are very larme but it's not like larme created those clothes. They put it in the magazine because it fit with their concept and what's popular. A lot of things people consider so larme here are things that already existed without larme.

>>9772506
I think she's just bitter she can't look cute in pink because she's a redhead and wants to drag everyone down with her.

>>9777160
You should look at the magazine and look at what Japanese girls wear, nearly everything in Larme is very normie

>>9777165
kinda lame you post your own blogpost in here to discuss

>>9772530
>>9772534
Agree. I wear larme styles because I like them regardless of whether they're on trend or not.

Actually thinking about it a lot of the larme trends took me a while to wear because I only caught the tail end of nineties fashion and stuff that was cool was rapidly becoming tacky and out of date.

Does anyone else have fashion hangups like this actually? Like I can't bring myself to wear flared trousers regardless of how trendy they are (or flattering, I'm short) because I was shamed for liking them so much when they were last going out of style.

>>9737861
do you guys ever post scans of that stuff?

>>9745036
despite your accepted behavior, if this is how you really are in life - you sound irritating. I know its amazing to be anon and what not, but like get a grip please, you don't need to be horrific all the fucking time.

Jfc not the 'larme is normie therefore it sucks' discussion again, who cares, just post cute coords

I love this, especially the shoes + dress combo on the left, does anyone know where those shoes are from actually?

I’m interested in knowing as well.

Very very cute but to me the silhouette of dresses look more suitable for lolita than for Larme inspired style. The styling has a Larme feeling so I could see these being advertised in Larme!

>>9782619
This feels like the beautiful bastard child of sweet lolita and larme

>>9782167
Seconding this.

Are these on taobao?

Which one, the llama fur or old lady couch pattern?

>>9786176
Not really sure. It sold to someone who works in the fashion industry apparently.

It's just as wearable as lolita. I thought everyone here hated anything resembling normie clothing lol

>>9786378
The llama fur one, but I like the other skirt lol

what in the actual fuck is this

>>9786700
What I want to know is why the Spongebob.

>>9786700
Can we finally start calling people out on this? Same with the one fat girl that posted earlier.

>>9786176
I wouldn't say those items are the best example of clothes with the Larme feeling, they look like Swankiss's less popular left over items that were thrown into a lucky bag.

Some clothes in the magazines are maybe a bit too sexy or "special" to be worn in everyday life but I think most of clothes look like something you could totally wear in everyday life but it depends on where work or study. But for example in Japan girls hardly show bare shoulders so coords like that are rarely seen in real life although they have those once in a while in Larme.

>>9787092
yeah I wish. This is why the community isn't evolving. Why are everyone sucking each other's dicks even when an outfit is clearly shit.

>>9786700
these layers are making me itchy

>>9788155
I don't see nothing wrong with the picture?

>>9788162
All her outfits are shit. There's always too much going on.

>>9787092
I didn't like the other fat girl's coords either, she just looks like she's wearing granny pyjamas over everything.

People are still kissing her ass because she's fat though.

>>9737863
Your waifu is shit

Can anyone recommend a brand with skirts that fit a 58cm waist? All brands I've tried are way too loose on me.

>>9789204
I think at least Titty&co S size and dazzlin's skirts are usually around that size!

>>9789204
Eatme sometimes has skirts this small. A lot of the slightly larger ones have waist ties as well so you could always adjust it a bit.

>>9789204
Slightly OT but, how do you manage with your regular clothes? My waist isn't as small as yours but I come across normie brands where their smallest size is too big for me sometimes and it really baffles me.

>>9789467
Also wondering this. My waist is only 24-25" (~61-63cm) waist, and I still struggle to find normie pants and skirts that fit. Does anon shop in the kids sections?

Also, I'm in the market for a pair of sandals like these from Honey Cinnamon. Does anyone know what their shoe quality is like? If you have similar shoes you'd recommend, I'd be happy to hear those, too!

>>9789467
>>9789827
Well I mostly wear japanese brands and then stick to dresses. With western brands I can sometimes fit a UK size 4, but it really depends on the brand.


>>9789464
Is this only when the skirt specifically runs in S and M, or does it include free size too?

>>9789875
I haven't worn enough Eatme to be able to tell. You'd be able to check when you're buying it though

>>9790013
yeah I know. Sometimes it's just hard to tell if the fit will be nice since they almost always have stretchy waistbands which will look like shit if you can't "fill it out" probably.

>>9772506
>The misconception of "If it's not from Japan it does not fit" it very untrue. The magazine only shows you an example of a look, and you could recreate it, take inspiration from it, and wear it in many different ways and even with only western brands, off-brand clothes, and even hand made items.
The thing is, you can't really trust a westerner to be able to think with a Japanese mindset using only the tools they have at home or on hand. At that point, it becomes something else.

>>9789827
Not any of the previous anons, but I do shop in the kids section (~60 cm waist). There's pretty good stuff sometimes.

>>9784375
>>9784371
What color is Risa's hair here? Dark ash blonde? Caramel blonde?

What does everyone think of jeans, specifically skinny jeans, in larme?

I think it usually looks best with very light wash blue, white, or black denim. This pair, for example, looks more dirty grunge to me.

>>9791786
I definitely think it can work just fine.

As late as today Maihee made me want to get a pair of jeans and I haven't worn jeans since 2011 so that's something.

>>9792039
EATME staff coord.
Looks pretty normie tho.

>>9792039
I love her. Where would I get a top like that now? They were everywhere a season ago or so

>>9792042
I wish these weren't sold out everywhere. Zozo has the indigo ones but not the black. It's so hard to find cute jeans that are small enough and have a properly high waist.

I tried to like this, I really did. But you guys are so far up your own asses about this its comical. This is normie girly wear in a japanese magazine. There is no "larme" fashion. The only things I see get nitpicked/hated on are western girls/street snaps of people trying to wear this style in daily life. Not everyone is a tiny asian model with brands picking out the pieces for them and having someone style their hair. This is just girly looks with a soft filter and blur applied.
>hurr then y u in the thread
Because I have an interest in jfashion in general and I like to do my research?

>>9792198
these people don't look at any other (normie) japanese magazines, most of them probably don't even buy larme so they don't see all the normie looks in it. it's a nice magazine though.

>>9792198
>The only things I see get nitpicked/hated on are western girls/street snaps of people trying to wear this style in daily life.

So which picture is yours? Kek

In all seriousness though, I do get what you mean. Larme as a fashion exists only in the west, because searching up "girly fashion" in English will get you tons of results, from twee to vintage to sundresses to little girls clothes. But the general look in Japan is their definition of girly fashion, albeit a somewhat OOT version.

I will say as well that when I first got into Larme a few years ago, normie fashion in the west was very different, so Larme did actually feel quite novel. You couldn't offbrand it like you can now. The style also wasn't as prevelant in other Japanese mags, so I think that's why it rose to popularity in Japan as well. It was something fresh, even if it was still very mainstream.

It really doesn't feel that way anymore. The magazine's looks have been copied and replicated many times over, to the point where even Western fashion has taken certain cues from it, leading us to today where you can walk into a high street store and come out with a pink off the shoulder top and a frilly black skirt and call it Larme. (I think that's good from an accessibility standpoint but not so much from a "unique" Japanese fashion standpoint)

As for the magazine itself, there's very little innovation. Just the same old thing again and again. From the first issues up to the mid teens you can see a very clear evolution, but honestly Larme has been pretty stagnant since then. The top brands put out similar looks each season. I can see why it's starting to lose popularity.

All the same though I still like Larme. And if you're really interested in it as a jfashion I'd encourage you to look at archives for old threads and how it evolved. Because it's really easy to dismiss it as "lol normie" when all you're seeing is the current snapshot.

>>9792288
I also think it's worth mentioning that Larme was never meant to be "alternative" like lolita or other Japanese fashions. So if you're looking at it from that perspective then yeah it doesn't fit the general bill of "Japanese subculture fashion."

>>9792288
What kind of fashion is replacing larme?

>>9792354
Nothing? That's my point, it's not really evolving anymore.

Or do you mean in terms of what people are wearing instead? That I don't know. Instead it's more like a lot of the people who used to be really big into Larme just dropped off the fashion scene altogether.

>>9788155
It keeps getting worse and worse.
And her constant cake eating isn't exactly helping either.

>>9792288
Larme had copied (or "been influenced by") other magazines, styles and brands since the beginning though

>>9792619
Sure. But it wouldn't have become as popular as it did without putting its own spin on things.

>>9792198
Jesus fucking Christ not again. No one in these threads has ever argued larme is some sort of super special underground street fashun. Why don't you do the same thing in gyaru or fairy kei threads?

I know Larme kind of did their own thing, but it's more likely those normie magazines were influenced by the same things that influenced Larme.

Also western normie fashion is slowly moving away from the 'larme' trends as well. A year ago I could easily find stuff in fast fashion stores I liked but that really doesn't happen anymore.

>>9793054
No one is refuting that. What Larme did well was putting a bunch of emerging trends into a unique package, with interesting styling and editorial design. Which is again why it grew so popular when other magazines were beginning to die out.

>>9793320
I wrote about this a few months ago, that western fashion was going to start to move away from Larme, so I'm not at all surprised to see it happening. I'm seeing a lot of atheleisure, simple, no frills designs, and boxy, oversized looks. A lot of it is really the antithesis of Larme. There are a number of stores I used to like that I'm just not bothering with at the moment because there's nothing good.

I wonder if we'll see a resurgence in interest as clothing that fits the style becomes more difficult to obtain. I feel like styles like lolita, and to some extent even styles like fairy kei or menhera, thrive on scarcity of goods.

>>9793329
Were there also discussions about fairy kei not being a 'real' style? I haven't been around for its greatest popularity

On another note, I really want this dress. I know it's kinda generic looking to be honest but that exact floral print is what I'm after. I haven't bought it when it first came out since I kind of burned myself on Bonbon stuff, but now I'd love to own it

>>9795934
There weren't. Larme is a magazine and fairy kei is a clothing style. Both are fine.

>>9791786
Grunge is a legit larme aesthetic though, I like it.
That being said, it can very easily look too normie, which isn't exactly the worst thing ever if that's something you're good at.
I strongly recommend high-waisted jeans, but I also think everyone would be more larme if the waist of their bottoms sat at their natural waist.

Don't worry about it, there's an anon who's obsessed with her and has to post that she was born a male every time she's mentioned in a thread. They've been doing it for almost five years now I think. It's both the most dedicated and sad thing I've seen.

Are everyone's fees for Fril and Mercari stupidly high? Buying up cheaper items ends up costing quite a lot after all the SS and shipping fees.

>>9798800
I pay 10% plus PayPal fees. Wish they accepted other payment methods.

>>9798968
Who do you use? I've got the 10% commission fee, a service fee, transfer fees, yada yada. It's stupid.

>>9804399
I'm not a fan of the bag, one of those pillow ones would be way cuter. But I actually really like this.

>>9804399
Is this OTT larme?

>>9804399
Don't think this feels larme at all

>>9805917
Yeah. It's not Larme but it's not really cult party either. Not sure what part of Larme she was going for with this, but it's still a cute outfit regardless.

Larme does include some vintage-y looks sometimes that are a bit remniscent of cult party kei, but they're much more toned down in style and color. Think Barrack Room (pic related) and the current Virgin Mary.

>>9804399
Idk how to define it, but the kind of bows that are on that bag are something that I think take away from a lot of outfits in the western comm. That being said, a lot of the other pieces could be larme if style differently

>>9805850
Something about the filter is a little uncanny, but
Makeup is fine
Hair is on point
Outfit is good as far as I can see

>>9806576
Imo a lot of western Larme girls use lolita bags in their coords and they just don't quite fit since they either lack maturity or are too costumey.

>>9784375
Dress sauce?

>>9805850
Sorry about your nose

>>9734418
Can I really just say, that every single time I take a closer look at this image, I'm surprised by how someone can be both fascinating, ugly and alluring all at the same time.
If a Master painted a woman this way, I wouldn't be half as confused as I am knowing this is a real woman from a photoshoot.

It doesn't look too ashy, I think it's more caramel~

>>9763485
Catch me with that super relatable post anon.

I was thinking of posting something about her already but this takes the cake. Since when are random Rilakkuma merch larme?

>>9792151
topshop

>>9808484
I can see where she's coming from with a lot of the things she posts for sale, but she really hits the style's borders sometimes and if the mods are blocking it, I don't doubt it's for a good reason. Haven't seen her Rilakkuma post though.
What I don't like is that she posts so frequently. I don't get why she just can't make fewer larger posts instead of borderline spamming the group.

>>9808485
I don't mind this but I wonder if it would look better with the top tucked in. Right now the outfit is really heavy below the boobs and could use a bit more balance. On the other hand I long in this shirt may make her look too short/dumpy so I donno.

>>9808485
Why would you wear this? She's clearly not fat but these clothes are trying real hard to make her seem that way.

>>9808717
I think the mods removed it
>What I don't like is that she posts so frequently. I don't get why she just can't make fewer larger posts instead of borderline spamming the group.
That was exactly why I was going to post something

>>9805934
I H A T E her shoes

>>9812494
I think she did quite well this time. I like her hair.

>>9805934
>>9810555
omg I love them, they're really hostess/agejo style

I just figured out that amazon jp doesn't need a shopping service and so I picked up a couple volumes. What other larme-related goods can you find on Amazon?

>>9812502
yeah she's alright whe she doesn't overdo her outfits. But she mostly does.

>>9812592
Honey Cinnamon and a few other shops sell via Amazon jp for basically the same price as their webshop, sales included.

Does anyone know of cute leopard print skirts currently for sale?

>>9793038
God, that photo is creepy. The girl looks like a 12 year old schoolgirl turned to prostitution, which I guess falls into the whole "Lolita" aesthetic of Larme, but it's missing the classiness factor.

>>9766484
This is a highly useful tip for all of you gulls - use the image search button on Taobao (the camera icon next to the search bar) to find products you're looking for based on a picture

>>9812592
how so?? does it ship worldwide?

>>9813195
oo! Good to know!

>>9813718
Yeah. Seems like it depends on the product though. I was just on the product page going to order with an SS and then I saw Canada written in katakana in the corner so I translated it and it said it could ship to Canada! You have to sign up in Japanese and give them your name in phonetic Japanese but they accept foreign cards and ship by dhl.

I seems like they also have Visee which is a makeup brand I saw in the magazine and have since been trying to figure out how to purchase. I can't seem to find if they ship to Canada, but I'll just have to try it and find out after I get my next paycheck.
