What I Wore | Lily Collins Inspired Outfit for Work


Hello lovelies! So I've noticed that I have just done like a row of Lily Collins type posts & videos (on my YouTube channel) this week, that perhaps you can just tell that I'm really, truly loving her style right now. What do y'all think? *grin*

What I'm Wearing Jumper -- H&M ($3.50) Jean Pencil Skirt -- J.Crew via thredUp ($5.93) Leopard Flats -- Target ($15) Gold Post Earrings -- Click Six ($1.99) Midi Rings -- Forever 21 ($1.90) Rose Gold Chain Necklace -- Simply Chic (don't remember) Nail Polish -- OPI in Berlin There Done That Lipstick -- Bite Beauty in Musk ($12)
When getting ready for work today I had no time for doing my makeup (or hair), so I just wore a lipstick that was in my handbag today. Which was the Bite Beauty lipstick in Musk, which I picked up this past week at Sephora to get my Birthday Award. To say the least, when ever I try out high-end lipsticks I'm always falling-head-over-heels-in-love with the formulation and packaging. There is a difference between high-end and drugstore lipsticks, but I would say the closest drugstore brand to feeling like a high-end one would be the Kate Moss Rimmel London lipsticks. They are affordable & feel moisturizing on the lips. But enough about lipsticks.

For my outfit today, I copied an outfit that I had seen Lily Collins wear to a red carpet event or something. I can't remember exactly now, but the outfit is pictured to the right.

To copy the look, I kept with the same silhouette that Lily's outfit features: pencil skirt & boxy cut jumper. Her accessories are simple: short chunky chain necklace; with simple rings, bangles, and earrings. But decided to forgo wearing any bangles, since they would be in-pratical & they don't really fit my tiny wrists. Also, it was totally an accident that we are both wearing a grey nail polish with our outfit. Ah, yes, I also decided to forgo wearing any type of heeled shoe, since I would be doing a bit of driving & walking back-and-forth from the printer scanning files in the office today. So flats it was -- comfy & simple.

I'm linking up with Fashion & Faith.

Would You Wear/Copy this Look? Let me know in the comments!
Also, do check out this $20 Makeup Challenge video that that I did with my friend, Grace! We both ended up doing a Lily Collins inspired makeup look, so it is fitting to included it with this outfit post.
