OTT Mori coord for Japanese Street Fashion Showcase

As some of you know, I'm the Vice President (currently standing in for the Pres.) of my university's Japanese Street Fashion Club. We recently were given the opportunity by the Japanese Association to hold a fashion show at their Fall Festival and I was in charge of the event. Since the festival was hosted at night, we weren't able to get good pictures of the show, but I definitely wanted to share my mori coord with you!

Sweater, blouses, underskirt- thrifted
Overdress, overshirt- forest girl fans
Socks, tights- ebay
Shoes- customized Angelic Imprint
Bag- customized Urban Outfitters
Purse- My mother's, from my great-aunt
Necklaces- my grandmother's
Hair accessory- handmade
Brooch- handmade from my line DoMoCu

I thought that the more Harajuku interpretation of mori (mostly lacy layers and lots of piled-on antique and lacy accessories) would be appropriate because our club is for Japanese Street Fashion, which implies something a little more over the top in reference to Harajuku and other popular fashionable street cultures. Also since it was a fashion show, I thought over the top would be more eye-catching and fun c:

We had such a great time performing and (in my humble opinion) totally stole the show away! I'm really proud of everyone I worked with on this project and will look forward to doing it again next year. 

Yours truly,

Miss Kellie

Miss Kellie wears Pink Brown

Yesterday I went to a friend's birthday party and had a lot of fun with everyone ! ^___^

I ended up taking off the belt and replaced it with a dark brown one. The blue looks cute but I think it was too distracting. 

All of you pear shaped ladies know how hard it is to find good pants! These are the most flattering pants I've ever worn ( and they're velvet! ), but unfortunately, like all pants, they stretch out a bit as you wear them. I really need to take these to be dry cleaned so they'll shape up, but I'm currently out of cash. Pooh!

Since I wear wigs most days at school, I've been experimenting with hairstyles! I was thrilled to find out that I could finally do a milkmaid braid. I'm still working on blending the braids together more fluidly, but I still loved it. And I think the bow was a cute touch!

This is my favorite purse currently! I got it from taobao and it even came with a matching notebook and file folder. It's definitely my style and is very mori-able.

Miss Kellie wears Nancy Drew

 Hello, dear friends! I wanted to share my recent outfit of the day with you. After looking over the pictures my Momma took, I feel like a modern day Nancy Drew! If you haven't heard of Nancy Drew (why?!), she is THE iconic girl detective in a mystery novel series written by pseudonym Caryoln Keen in the 1930s even to present day. I grew up reading her books and playing the mystery computer games, so Nancy is very close to my heart :)

Nancy even had titian blonde hair! Do you see the similarity too?

If you had a favorite Nancy Drew book, leave a comment! I'd love to hear them :)
