Are you a Mori Girl?

I can't choose my favourite Japanese fashion. It is one hundred per cent impossible and I cannot, and will not do it. One I fell in love with, especially when wondering the streets of Harajuku, or flicking through magazines like Spoon and Fudge, was Mori Girl (Forest Girl). Apparently it started around 2006 when a girl on a fashion page was told she looked like she could live in the woods. It now boasts a monolithic online community and a myriad stores. On a Japanese news website I found this checklist.

Are you are Mori Girl?

• You are fair skinned
• Your hair is soft and wavy
• You prefer dark or natural colours
• You keep your nails short
• You like to wear loose dresses
• You don't like fashion that is too 'sweet'
• You prefer leather bags
• You like antiques and pocket watches
• You use round blush on your cheeks
  and my personal favourite
• Puffed sleeves make your heart ache

naaaaawwwwwwwww

Its a kinda specific list, but idea is still awesome. I think toned down, its basically a natural, layered style which is pretty easy to achieve and suits almost everyone. Think linens and crotchet. Don't forget the puffy sleeves!
