Not mori (not even "dark mori"), looks like lagenlook/dirty hippie fashion

Agreeing with the other anon that this is not mori and more natural kei, if I have to put a name on it.

The fabric choices for both ^^ really don't give a mori feel at all. The first is way too heavy, baggy in the wrong way, and "alt"/"punky." The second relies too heavily on whatever both of their shirts are made of, lacks any really whimsical features, and is too clashy/unstructured.

I've said it in basically every mori thread for like the last two years, but I think it's important to saturate your brain with good examples of mori so that you get a feel for the fashion before you run out and buy stuff.
I also think it's best to stick with "safe" outfits in the beginning. Look at a specific, somewhat simple/basic/standard outfit that you like, and maybe try to replicate/mimic it. Once you have a good feel for the aesthetic, branch out and try being a bit more "creative."
Kind of like how newbs shouldn't try ero or punk lolita on their first time wearing the fashion, don't try to get to crazy when you first start buying/wearing mori.

Eh, that looks very lagenlook/ frumpy-50-year-old-american-hippie-wear (like the clothing you see at those tiny stores that also sell alpaca wool hats, bobbles, and incense) and not really mori or hipster at all to me, which is another thing noobies need to try to avoid.

I agree with the "kawaii" bit, which was what I was trying to get at with "cute" and "youthful" as opposed to sexy looks.

Little accessories can help "mori-fy" an outfit, and I think it's still easier to gain a feel for what makes something mori by just looking at fuck tons of images/reading blogs than having someone attempt to explain it to you.

You're probably better off buying from Aliexpress than Ebay, as the former is usually cheaper. This >>8211948 store is the aliexpress counterpart to a taobao shop that's pretty popular.
Anything you buy on Storenvy (that's not a thrift find or a handmade accessory) is going to be incredibly marked up.
The ohyeahmorigirl tumblr has a decent shop list, though I don't know when it was last updated.
