Ootd is all harvest colors. I can hardly believe I found a yellow hat that I love. It's the first article of yellow clothing I have EVER owned because yellow normally looks awful on me but this one looks great! I'm pretty happy with my new lipstick too!

Join me in the forest

I decided to wear mori kei for my latest meetup with my local lolita fashion community. I'm kind of the rogue mori girl within our squad. Though I often mix and match both styles too!

I had major period cramps and back pain the day prior and wanted something loose and comfortable to wear to the meetup. Mori is the style for that!

The temperature also climbed up from 21°C in the morning to 28°C - which meant I did minimal layers to be prepared for that. I wore a pale yellow blouse with a flower embroidery on it, my signature mori girl dress with it's layers and pointy circle skirts and a light green gilet with a beautiful grape print on it. The dress and gilet are handmade!

I had so much fun with my friends and delicious food at the restaurant. We usually leave in "shifts" from the meetup, because some of us want to stay longer and some leave earlier. I walked to the tram with two of my lovely friend and there's an open free bookshelf for trading books. I had to take a picture with this book as it's called "Die Leute aus dem Walde" which translates to "the people of the forest" and matches perfectly with mori kei!!!

Image 1: A collage of a picture showing Amy (me) and some trees, divided by a white border. The picture to the left showing me: pictured is Amy, a young, fat, white woman with glasses and long brown hair worn in two braids. She's wearing a lace headband and origami-paper-leaves as earrings. Her necklace features a big brown moth. A mint-green gilet vest with a grape print and ornamental decorations is worn over a cream lacey dress with pointy circle skirts, as well as a pale yellow cropped blouse worn under said dress with wide flowey sleeves. Lightly tan sandals with straps and lace cutouts finish the outfits off.

The picture is taking among shrubbery and bushes, evoking the entrance to the woods you surely can find mori people in! In the picture Amy (me) is facing the viewer and enticingly beckoning with her hand, inviting you to join in her endeavors!

Image 2: A close-up picture of Amy (me), smiling at the camera. Amy is a a young, fat, white woman with glasses and long brown hair worn in two braids. Her gilet vest is crumpled in this close-up picture, but that doesn't matter as the main focus is the book she's posing with: It shows a illustrated mountain-and-forest landscape and bears the German title "Die Leute aus dem Walde" (which translates to "the people of the forest"), which of course perfectly fits Mori Kei.

Image 3: Is a repeat of image 1. Due to the way tumblr displays pictures it's a bit zoomed in. I added this picture because it makes the layout look nicer and more interesting in my opinion. [/image description]

When you're running a J-fashion Bring & Buy with your local lolita community but feel more like wearing mori kei on the day... mori lolita it is!!!

Morning temperature was 12°C, so I wore nylon tights, a knee sock for my bad left knee, a white lace cardigan and my newly thrifted pastel green jacket and a golden scarf. Was chilly but okay.

When I left the subway station on my way to the event two goth girls approached me and squealed over my outfit and how adorable and cute I was! They were even fellow fat girls. That was so precious!! Made my day from the start! I got an insane number of compliments that day! So much love!! Thank you everyone! That sure does wonders. Someone on insta commented "you look like a lovely flowery breeze of spring". They have a way with words for sure!

I bought the wrist cuffs at the bring & buy because they matched my outfit so well (and are very beautiful!). Also bought a red bonnet by Angelic Pretty and can't wait to style it with my little Red Riding Hood Cape (I've converted an old school Baby the Stars Shine Bright skirt into that cape). Both have lovely red velvet! A match made in lolita heaven! Couldn't resist the cute pins and lovely flower resin charms either. But hey, I have new work and more money to spend! So I'll support my local artists!! As you should.

A couple of you have asked about the j- fashion show I've been preparing for this year. (Only 2 more weeks!! Eeek!) The convention orga said they'll take pictures, so I hope I can share some of it afterwards. 2020 I participated in a digital j- fashion show & pass the brush challenge. You can watch that old show here (on youtube) if you'd like.

I represented dark Mori and Mori Kei, just like I will again this year!

A lovely spring afternoon

Point of fashion: my newly thrifted pastel green jacket (that just screams spring)

Full outfit rundow :

Thrifted pastel green jacket

Second hand black dress with floral print (worn over black long sleeve)

Handmade mint green maxi skirt

Beloved pastel turquoise scarf with flowers and butterflies

Cute bag with gingerbread houses on it

Black booties

I went to a local Korean supermarket for some snacks, met up with a friend and went to this cute little Japanese store with her where I finally found a little water bottle!! I've been looking for one for ages but didn't find any that met my criteria (practical but cute). Plus my friend gave me a little hello kitty figurine she brought me as a souvenir from her recent holiday in Japan!! I'm so happy she thought of me!

Then we met up with another friend and went for pastries and later one cocktail each (with some potato & vegetable chips aswell). It was a lovely time with my friends!! And I'm so happy with my new spring jacket. Perfect addition to my wardrobe!

[ID]The pictures show a mirrored light skinned young woman with two long brown braids and glasses. In the first picture the mirror images of her face outward and in the second picture they're looking inward. She's facing the viewer in both.

She's showing off a big pumpkin bag and has matched her whole outfit to the pumpkin. She's wearing a golden-brownish top, black sleeveless cardigan with fringe at the bottom and a golden-brownish cardigan with a hood. The hood is down in the pictures and not visible. The skirt has a floral pattern in reddish brown autumn colours with lighter gores that also have a floral pattern with feathered arrows mixed in. She's wearing black tights and black boots with silver details on them.[/ID]

I did it! I removed the straps from the pumpkin bag and moved them upwards (where I originally wanted to have them) and sewed them on again per hand. I'm glad I own a timble to save my fingers! I'm really happy now with my pumpkin bag and already excited to create other novelty bags! Also loved this pumpkin-esque look a lot! 🧡

I love that everything in this outfit has a story! ♡

The thrifting gods blessed me for my birthday and I found five great tops at my local second hand shop. Plussize clothing is very rare here but I still manage to find elusive gems. This sage green top is one of my finds.

The necklace comes from a local animal charity, they auction of handmade jewelry and other handmade accessories to support animal help.

The green bag with the cathedral window patchwork comes from a patchwork swap event. It's one of my favourite bags ever since I received it years ago! The fabric strap was slowly being rubbed away, so by now I have covered almost everything in crochet. (More crochet strap is at the back at the moment and not visible in this picture. As the fabric is further fraying from use I will have to make another crochet repair soon and will probably now just cover the whole strap).

@bright-eyes-hope gave me the skirt. She didn't really wear it anyway. It used to have a wide pink waistband (like about 25cm wide) and I removed it to attach it to another skirt of hers (where she didn't like the waistband). I loved the skirt and could keep it as a thank you for the transplantation! I've added a new waistband and a new voluminous underskirt (because the fabric is otherwise see-through and the previous underskirt was a tight tube).
