1. naturally, our first question is how did you get into mori girl?
When starting highschool I decided I wanted to start dressing nicely, through elementary and middle school I dressed very plainly. I wore baggy T-shirts, loose fitting pants and my hair was always in a ponytail. I wanted to wear what was comfortable and i didn't care about how i looked until just before middle school; but I was too embarrassed to actually change my looks and draw attention from my friends. Then when I realized highschool would be a fresh start and nobody would know me I jumped on the opportunity to dress how i wanted!
Nearing the end of grade 9 my mother and I were shopping downtown, and there used to be a shop that sold "lolita" dresses and such. (everything was so ita and overpriced but i didn't know that at the time) I bought my first "lolita" dress and fell in love! For the next few months I researched lolita fashion (and found out what ita meant, haha) and I discovered other j-fashions like decora, fairy kei, cult party kei, gyaru, dolly kei... and mori kei!
I instantly fell in love with mori girl. When I realized there was a whole lifestyle aspect to it I noticed how much of it already applied to me and how much of it sounded ideal. Just like with lolita, I spent months learning about mori kei.
That year for Christmas my parents bought me my first mori clothes which pushed me to go thrifting for more pieces! I'm So grateful to mori kei, quite honestly, its helped shape who I am and who I want to be!
