Many, many years ago (and by that I mean almost 10 years ago now wow I feel old) a tumblr user called Shady Oaks made the first and most well known list of mori prompts, known as the Mori Girl 30 Day Challenge. The prompts were very well loved and many people completed them multiple times, including myself! But by this point, the prompts are kind of old and some of them are a little too specific to the time, in my opinion. So, I thought, why not make my own list of prompts!
I decided to use some of the original prompts, but I've also added some of my own questions to spice things up. Hopefully you enjoy, and please make sure to link me your responses if you complete this challenge!
The Prompts

- What was your first mori outfit? Share pictures or describe it. How does it compare to your current style?
