I think the other anon is really on target with their advice, especially re: creating contrast with something darker-toned. What I personally don't like here is the billowy-looking dress. Fit in mori should definitely be loose, but I think the issue with the poncho is that it's making the whole coord look uniformly baggy and wide? I may be totally off-base since it's hard to tell just based on one photo, though.

Pic related is a little different from your coord but illustrates the balance of colors and pieces that I think would probably make yours work.

I just don't see what the problem with that is, I guess. Mori fashion was born by one person in an online community as well so it's not like it's sacred; I'd rather someone say "this is my dark mori coord" and know that it's an extension of the style with its own differences than just try to shove it all into mori girl proper. But it's better in the end that it split off into strega for the most part.
