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]
