Mori Girl Questions 11-15

11- name 5 of your favorite mori girl style songs or musicians, even if they’re not explicity “mori.”

Corrine Bailey Rae comes to mind, she has such a sweet sound and everything sounds so relaxed.


"PonPonPon" Its so weird, but it fills me with so much joy


"Konnichiwan Kara One-Two-Three" Hotch-Potchi. Whimsy and puppy paws.


12- name 5 mori girl style hobbies!

1. Gardening: I’ve been doing it since I was little.
2. Picnicking: this is a wonderful pastime that I try to share with my love, but usually we can’t do it (too cold outside, Michigan winters are brutal!) so we curl up inside and do it!
3. Crafting: knitting, crocheting, embroidery, sewing and more. There is something liberating knowing that if you can’t buy your mori items you can make them yourself. Mori just gives me more of a reason to challenge myself and make larger things.
4. Cooking: Especially sweets! Things that promote warmth and relaxation and just give you the warm fuzzies when you eat them
5. Strolling the park

13- What films, if any, inspire your mori girl look and life?

I don’t think I have any in particular that inspire me. I know “Strawberry Fields Forever” does in a way, and I know a lot of the modernized fairy tale movies have really been helping me solidify something.

14- do you like to coordinate the colors in your outfits to match the seasons? what colors do you think are most appropriate for each season, and why, if you’d like to explain?

I do not do well at it, but I do try to coordinate my colors based on the season. As a kid we were forced to learn the “what to wear” common sense due to extreme weather conditions in the south. During the summer is my time to wear light colors and minimal layering. So colors like white are highly recommended for me in the summer. Then as the seasons go on the colors get darker and the layers get heavier.

15- post a photo of your favorite personal mori girl coordinate.



I love this look! plus this is such a serene image to me

6- What sort of things, outside of fashion, do you consider to be part of a mori girl lifestyle?

This is where I think hippie really blends with mori. I would say it is living in a relaxed and earthy way. A good thing is whether you like the outdoors or not (besides, wearing the outfits are no fun if you do not show them off somehow?) I see a love for animals and nature, and just that daisy chain peace loving sweet nature.

7- Are you also a lolita? I find a lot of mori girls do lolita as well! whether you are or aren’t a lolita, why do you think this is?

I was into Lolita far before I was into mori girl. I don’t officially see myself as one, but I did like making the accessories. The cost to get good Lolita gear was really what held me back and I couldn’t always do super structured items. Im not huge but I am a big girl, so getting loli gear is semi difficult for me.

8- What is your favorite type of plant life? whether it be tree, bush, flower, fruit or vegetable? why is it so special to you?

I have a big soft spot for wildflowers. My all time favorite without a doubt is sunflowers, and that’s just that I used to grow them as a kid and I remember how big and pretty they were.

9- List 10 words that remind you of mori girl or inspire your mori girl life.

Knitting, Crochet, Deer, Daisy, Love, Park, Picnic, Fur, Warmth, Comfort.

10- What are your favorite books? do you think they’re mori or not?

I know what I read is not mori XD Unless you count my Japanese magazines. The closest I’d say would be Love Janis, but my favorite books (Poisonwood bible, Hellsing) definitely not XD
