Well, if you blog about it at all, I'd still like to see! Or post reviews here. I like seeing what people get.

It's mostly feel, but the aesthetic is fairly different. I'll do my best to explain it, but I'm really not good at these things.

Mori generally feels cuter than boho/hippie fashions, which can often feel somewhat sexy and/or dirty (like heroin chic sort of dirty). Similarly, mori makeup and hair styling tends to be more cute or "youthful" than that in hippie/boho.
Mori generally covers up more skin than those looks would.
Mori features a lot of asymmetrical skirts and is based on layering different fabrics, textures, lengths, etc. A lot of hippie fashion is maxi dresses, jean vests, retro-inspired nonsense.
Mori's colour palette tends to run more neutral or have smaller overall prints/pops of colour, whereas boho/hippie can be feature really loud, big prints/colours.
While you can certainly thrift a lot of mori stuff, I don't think I've seen an outfit (or at least a good one) that looked "retro," which is basically the whole point of hippie fashion.
Mori tends to have quirky or whimsical elements, like this hat.

Honestly, if you're unsure, do a google search for hippie/boho and compare the images to those itt. I don't know how you could not see what distinguishes them.
If you're new to mori, saturate yourself in images of coords/good outdoors and home goods inspo, and you'll slowly get a feeling for the fashion. Then start collecting pieces/building your wardrobe.

That's hideous and doesn't look very mori to me besides "muh layers."

I really like trousers as well, but they tend to look bad on me because I have really short, slightly muscular legs. I've also had a hard time finding anything with the right shape/width in my area, though.

Do you mean reading about it?
If so, morigirl dot blogspot dot se was pretty popular for a while and has a lot of basic information/nice photos.
The morigirls LJ is dead now, but old posts are fun to look at, especially things like the mori girl checklist taken from the mixi community.
