However, I woke up this morning to a gentle thunderstorm...often, midwest thunderstorms can be loud and vicious, but this one was pleasant. Something about the rain and the orange-yellow leaves created this really beautiful light into my room and I just laid there for a while, enjoying it.
I pulled out my sweaters today too. it's starting to get chilly in Chicago. Oddly enough, I leafed through my closet with the inspiration of thousands of photos I saw and saved last night dancing though my head and realized most of my closet is very mori already.
I had a couple ideas, but I put together this one.

forgive my photoshop skills, they're a bit rusty. haha.
Shirt- Pay Half
Skirt- Dots, I think. I bought it when I lived in Connecticut.
Stockings- no idea, had them since high school. They're a faint pink with vertical stripes. I think vertical stripes are my favorite pattern ever.
Boots- Unique, a thrift store. Bought them with Sam and Greg, actually.
Crochet gloves-some Victorian clothing site, I can't remember which! I saw another mori picture with them yesterday and I couldn't stop laughing; such a mori-specific item that I was drawn to before I even knew what it was!
Hat- probably a craft store.
I considered wearing black flats with this as well but these are the boots I wear daily and there are still puddles from the storm, so...I need more socks and stockings with which to layer. In fact, I just remembered an oatmeal colored vest I have that I may have to add to this outfit. so many ideas!
I'd like to keep my waist accentuated, unlike a lot of the Japanese mori coordinates; I'm just as petite as they are but I'm a little self conscious of looking like a boy.
Have you been watching the miners in Chile come up? It's really inspiring. My roommate said it best when he said "the world needs something like this right now."
