Been having a bit too much fun with layering clothes recently. Ever since I've come to the realization that me + maxi skirts are a perfect combination, I decided to raid my mother's pile of clothes for any long skirts that I could get my hands on. This lovely skirt from India is my favorite. It reminds me a lot of Mara, one of my most favorite friends who is a gypsy slash mermaid princess in my eyes. Mara is, actually, one of my biggest influences when it comes to fashion as I'd been seeing her wearing and layering natural style clothing for much longer than I've been into mori girl. She has a thing for clothes with ethnic prints and/or that have a bohemian vibe and I'm pretty sure she'd go crazy for this skirt when she sees it. We rarely see each other now but whenever I see this skirt now it makes me think of her. I miss her!

Last Sunday was amazing. I was given the chance to work with some very talented people on a fashion show that featured the different subcultures of Japanese street fashion. I was, of course, asked to represent mori girl. I didn't give it a second thought. I've been in love with J-fashion for the longest time, so it was pretty much a no-brainer.

A few photos from before and after last Sunday's fashion show. We spent the whole morning rehearsing for the show, as we'd never had any practice runs before the day itself. The rest of the time we had before the show, we were in make-up and wardrobe. I think I had more fun during prep time than during the actual runway show, because I got to bond with all the lovely and talented people who were involved with the whole project.
