How "Mori" are you?: A just for fun Mori Girl quiz!

Image
So I recently came across a Lolita Level Up quiz and I thought it might be fun if I made one for Mori Kei as well. Please keep in mind that this is totally just for fun, and is in no way meant to be an accurate judge of how "mori" you really are. I tried to keep the questions mostly related to the fashion, and the things that are widely accepted as being a part of a mori lifestyle. If you have any ideas for a point you think I might have missed, or one you think should be removed, please let me know! Also, feel free to repost this wherever, just please send me a link, or link back to me, as I'd like to see your results. Now, on to the quiz! You know of at least one Mori brand. You own an item from a Mori brand You've bought something using a shipping service. You have ordered from taobao. You've ordered from Aliexpress. You've bought straight from a Mori shop by visiting there in person. You've traveled to Japan just to buy from a Mori...

Image
Recently a lovely deer from the Mori Facebook group , Jasmine (you can find her blog here ), created something called the "Mori Girl Challenge". This set of challenges is not competitive, and you can go at your own pace. And there is something for everyone as she graciously thought to make 4 different lists. They each have the same general themes, but are geared towards different activities. Between Drawing, Photography, Cooking and Writing, there is a little something for everyone! She kindly let me display the lists here for you, so that all you Mori folk have a chance to see it. So here are the lists: DRAW 1. Comfort Food: Draw a picture of/including your favorite foods and snacks. 2. Mind Garden: Draw a meditative garden from your imagination. 3. Furry Friends: Draw your favorite forest creature(s). 4. Goblin King: Draw your interpretation of a/the Goblin King. 5. Memento Mori: Draw a portrait inspired by vintage memento mori photographs. 6. Mushroom Mushroom: Dra...

Foundations for a Mori Wardrobe

Image
When I first started to create my mori wardrobe, I was a bit lost as to where to start. I pretty much just bought anything I considered to be mori, and ended up with a large mess of clothing, and not a clue how to coordinate all of it. But after a few years of creating a mori wardrobe, I finally know what the basis for a mori wardrobe is. I want to share this with all of you, so that if you're just starting to create your mori wardrobe you can have some idea of where to start. Please remember that these are all my personal opinions, and that this is not by any means a complete guide. Just a bit of a guideline based on the things I've found while building my own mori wardrobe. To compare and contrast, you can check out  Miss Kellie 's wardrobe guide, and  Berry Drop Shop 's wardrobe guide for mori girls in tropical climates. So without further ado, let's begin! When beginning to make a mori wardrobe, the most important thing to do is to pick a general color s...
