Mori Girl Fashion

I'm loving this fashion statement!  Mori Girl Fashion.  I've included a Check List to go by if you decide to dress like a Mori girl and a little bit of the background of what a Mori Girl is.  My interpretation of a Mori Girl is fairy meets grunge with a little dash of Pretty in Pink...while doing my research for this post I kinda felt like I was reading about myself, I already dress in a similar way but I have hopes that this post will help me complete my look as well as my little girl's.  I hope you will enjoy and be totally inspired!

I also have a Mori Girl Fashion Board on my Pinterest!

What is a Mori Girl (according to the Mori Girl blog):

The mori girls (森ガール) belong to a Japanese subculture. 'Mori' means forest in Japanese, and mori girls look like fairytale forest wanderers in their loose dresses, vintage prints and quaint accessories. Mori girls choose to live their lives on their own terms, stopping to appreciate the little things that others overlook amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life.
