Wordless Wednesday: Romantic

More Mori Girl

Hello, my dreamy friends. There are a lot of great changes happening with me and my boys. I share with all of you on Friday.

Today, I like to leave a bit of beauty for you. Celebrating one of my favorites styles called Mori Girl. I have done posts on this style over the years. Mori girl loosely translates to Forest Girl. It's all about layering romantic clothes in usually muted colors. Mori girl style embraces bright and dark colors depending on your taste.

It is a beautiful misty Autumn day and you hear the Forest calling you. Today you need to walk among the trees and leaves in glorious colors of orange, red, and yellow.



You can put on that lace tea stained shawl you recently found in a thrift store to wear.



Should you wear the brown boots decorated in lace?



Or the green forest boots?



As you walk from your city door to the forest, you encounter other Mori girls. This one has colors in shades of pale blue ocean waves.



There's another Mori girl with pumpkin colored dress you almost brought yourself.



Right before you reach the forest, a Mori girl, who favors darker colors to wear, passes you with a friendly wave.



Now, you have finally arrived. Ready to enjoy your day in nature under an Autumn sky.



Hope you enjoyed our Mori girl adventure today. I'll see you right back here on Friday.

Monday Mori Girl

Happy Monday and President's Day for us in the USA. To my surprise and delight, Mori Girl Style was one of heavily viewed posts. Here is another tribute to that lovely style that sprung up in Japan. Honestly, Mori Girl style has been around for a long time, I feel, under different names. Mori means Forest in Japan. It's a romantic style full of layers and dreaminess. Here is more about it from a previous blog post.

Layers of pretty with a soft brown hat.



More lacey goodness with layers. Makes my heart smile.


Mori Girl style like anything can be tweaked to fit you. This lovely lady shows a bit of skin yet still looks dreamy.


A side table setting that evokes beauty.


You can really reflect the forest with having flowers in your hair.


Yep, you can wear sneakers. Make it your own with pretty touches.


If you feel this is a little too much pale colors for you, and want some edge. Well there is Dark Mori style. Just switch with more black and grey. Like this lovely lady:

Beauty for Monday

Happy Monday, my friends. Last week was seriously busy. It's a brand new week. Here some of my favorite dreamy pins from Pinterest. Enjoy.

Mori Girl Too

Happy Thursday, everyone.
I'm here to admit my obsession with Pinterest.
From reading your blogs, I know I'm not
the only one.

It's been a blast looking at all that gorgeous
imagery. Creating my own boards and looking
up others.

What do I love to look up most is my love
of Mori Girl style.

I did a post on Mori Girl a couple of months back.
It's a style that originated in Japan
in about 2007 Mori in Japanese
means Forest. Mori Girls translates to
Forest Girls.It's all all about an earthy,
romantic and nature look.

I love it because it echoes the way I like
to dress: with long skirts, a touch of lace
or frill to my blouses and making me feel
I have a touch of romance in my outfits.

Of course,this style is not for everyone.
For me, it makes my eyes get all dreamy
and feel warm inside.

Dreamy Thursday : Mori Girls

Happy Dreamy Thursday and Happy March.
I can feel that Spring energy starting up.
So looking forward to Spring.

This Dreamy Thursday is on Mori Girls style.
The Mori Girl Style comes from Japan. If you
look at the clothes, for me they harken back
to fairy tales, victorian era and vintage
romantic style. Mori comes from the Japanese word "Forest".
Literally it means Girl from The Forest.

It's all about layering clothes with soft
and earthy colors including colors of whites, greens
browns and blues. Using aprons, ribbons, flowers, shawls,
hats, scarves,lace, granny boots and slippers. Your
makeup natural and easy.

What caught my eye when I first saw it, it
reminded me of my love of long flowing skirts
and romantic looking fashion. When I look
at Mori Girl style I think of the lovely
clothes from Magnolia Pearl and of Tasha Tudor.

Mori Girls is a life choice for some. With technology
speeding along, sometimes you want to get
back to simpler things. Where you create with
your hands, read from an actual book and
spend time out in nature. For more inspiration,
check out morigirl.blogspot.com

If you want to adapt a Mori Girl look
for yourself. Remember layers, skirts and
anything that makes you feel romantic.
I'm sure there is a bit of a Mori Girl in
everywoman. BTW, all these lovely pictures
I found online.

Wishing you a Mori Girl Dreamy Thursday.
