As promised, here is my post on easy ways to create a mori outfit! Hopefully it helps someone a bit :)

Also, I’m planning on another post soon dedicated to casual mori specifically, so stay tuned for that!

Mori Community Introduction

Name: Rin (Short for Catherine)

Age: 33

Location: Virginia, USA

How long have you been wearing mori or have been interested in mori?: I have been following the mori community online for about 4 years. I have worn mori off and on for about 3, but most of my coords are not quite mori.

What do you like about mori?: I like that it is inclusive to everyone, no matter the gender, race, age, or size. I love that it’s also affordable since a lot of mori pieces can be found at thrift stores. It also aligns with my crochet hobby and other parts of my lifestyle that are slow paced.

Favorite places to find mori fashion: Thrift store and Etsy.

Three favorite mori pictures:

Pictures of you:

About you: I really like the idea of being a fall time mori. My outfits are normally fall colored with reds, oranges, and browns. I’m not sure if this is really mori or something close to it, but I am open for critique form the mori community so that I can learn. A big shout-out to @baaikha , @forestsandtea , @kesstiel , and @sapphicfawn. I’ve been quietly watching your social media presence for quite some time.

Outside of mori, I am a wife and mother of two children. I work as a nuclear engineering technician with a focus on quality assurance. (I can’t wear dresses to work.) I love anything fall related, thrift shopping, crocheting, journaling, and serving at church.

Mori Intro

Name: Lyra

Age: 32

Location: New Brunswick, Canada

How long have you been wearing/interested in mori?: Longtime admirer, only started pointedly paying attention to it about three years ago? And only tried wearing it a bit over a year ago… I’m late to the party ^^;

What you like about Mori Kei or Natural J-Fashions: I love the flowy layers of frills and lace, and the colour schemes. I love that it can involve a lot of thrift shopping and reuse/modification of existing clothes, it’s a creative outlet that’s easy on the wallet.

Favorite Brands or Places to Find Mori Clothing: So far just the thrift store! I can’t personally warrant the extra expense of shopping for brands (or even off AliExpress) all the time, but that’s okay, thrifting is an adventure and I do know how to sew (though I need to get off my bum and actually do it!) :D

3 Favorite Mori/Natural pictures:

One or more pictures of you:

Short intro about you: I recently (two years ago) moved out east to be in the countryside, which I think really kicked my interest in mori into high gear! I work freelance, from home, so I really want to put more aspects of the lifestyle into play as well (and so my interests also heavily overlap with cottage//core). I’m married, currently no pets (cat passed away last summer), but we may be getting chickens this year, and hopefully will have a dog eventually :D

Anything Else? I personally also really like the photography aspect of fashion, so if I can’t also make the time for a few nice outdoor snaps I’ll rarely put in the effort of doing a whole outfit. But that makes me realize I need to understand “casual mori” a little better so I can easily wear it all the time without making an ordeal out of it :P

Everyone, let’s bring back mori introductions!

Back in the days of the mori girl Livejournal community, each member of the mori community would introduce themselves in a quick post. I’d love to bring this idea back and get to know newer (and older) members of the community. So, let’s bring back this fun idea! Create your own introduction and tag it #moricommunityintroductions so we can all meet each other :) I’ll start!

Name: Kathryn (aka forestsandtea)

Age: 23

Location: Currently living in Okayama-ken, Japan, but from the midwestern US

How long have you been wearing/interested in mori?: I have been wearing mori for around 8 years now, I think. I’ve kind of lost count. Maybe 9?

What you like about Mori Kei or Natural J-Fashions: I love the comfortable and fairy-tale like look of mori fashion. It’s always captivated me and makes me feel so at peace and myself when I wear it. My love for it hasn’t faded once since I decided to start wearing it.

Favorite Brands or Places to Find Mori Clothing: I thrift almost all of my clothes and I love finding unique pre-owned pieces to create my own unique style! I also love Wonder Rocket pieces, but since the brand has since closed, I doubt I’ll ever be able to own anything from the brand :(

3 Favorite Mori/Natural pictures: My “favorite” mori pictures change all the time. But here is my current mori aesthetic.

One or more Pictures of You: Have my most recent outfit photo that I actually like ;) I haven’t been wearing mori as much recently because of the chaos that has been moving to Japan.

Short intro about you: I am a long-time, self-proclaimed, full-time mori girl. I absolutely adore the fashion and enjoy the lifestyle aspects that often come along with it as well.

Anything Else?: My favorite color palettes are neutral, so I often look like a piece of bread. I am aware that color exists, I just choose not to wear it ;)

I love this concept!
