Day 3 - 30-day Mori Girl Challenge




10 things you dislike in Mori

1. I dislike that I am not skinny and thus don't look elegant in smocks, overalls or tunics but rather look like a big fat person wearing a giant tent, 





2. I love watching TV, am pretty addicted to be honest, I sort of think that Mori girls shouldn't spend quite so much of their day watching Jeremy Kyle et al,




3. How there is a very fine like between looking like you live in a forest and looking like a little girl, I DO NOT want to look like a little girl, I am 28,

4. How all the models wearing Mori are skinny,


eek

5. Wearing a stuffed toy round your neck - No,


6. Wearing furs, vintage ok (although I don't think you would catch me in one,) but new is a no for me,

7. How I don't have a forest near me:


No forests here!
8. How I have never been to Japan,

9. When Mori girl strays into Dolly Kei or Lolita,

10. When Mori girl looks scruffy,

Stuffed toy + fur + little girl make-up = My worst nightmare.

    See, the last photo doesn't look what I think a Mori girl is so does she count?

    Agreed with number one- I have Jessica rabbit proportions and look an utter fool (nee tart) in anything delicate, loose or floaty. I'm hoping that by learning to sew I can find a way of blending my needs with my aspirations.

    Heh heh, No I don't think the last one is Mori, but I found the photo on a Mori website!?

    I think learning to sew would be an excellent start, you can make your own and customise clothes you already have or acquire.

    Haha! I'm also doing this challenge! I never really saw alot of the ugly side of mori girls.
    I also think it's rare for a mori girl to sport stuffed toy as necklace.
    The last pic doesn't look mori at all! XD
    I'm fat too, but I think mori is the kind of fashion that's not that body conscious compared to other styles :)

    I totally agree! I also think when they have a wig and fake lashes etc... its sort of moving too far away from the natural look of mori. I too am an older morimama and I have boobs! I would look ridiculously frumpy and horrible in a smock, though I reckon it could work for maternity etc... But I love the loose comfy fit of morigirl clothes. I am totally into the lifestyle, its just me all over, books, tea, walks, imagination, but I too watch TV! lol. I am sure we are kindred spirits. So nice to read a mori blog by someone a little older. ta from australia.

      The ones wearing fake lashes and wigs seemed to be city mori. Girls who try to bring the forest to the city and blend it.
