Style Inspiration: Lily Collins

Without a doubt, Lily Collins is one of my favorite actresses as of current. Although I have to admit that this is partly due to the fact that she plays the lead character of my favorite series, The Mortal Instruments. Nowadays, when fashion trends greatly influence what society wears, individuality is elusive. However, I find that it prevails in Lily, her style is casual but manages to remain very put together as well as polished. It's the kind of style that you can just throw on without a second thought, and you'll look amazing. Isn't that what we all hope to achieve? Effortlessly yet looking good. And that is what sparked off this Style Inspiration post.

I like how her style mostly involves a pair of skinnies. Which is great, because everyone owns pants as compared to designer bags which not everybody can afford. This makes it so easy to recreate her looks because she makes use of really basic pieces that everyone has in their closet. I've noticed that she likes to throw some nice jackets/coats over basic pieces such as the skinnies and tanks/t-shirts.

Something I like to look out for when recreating celebrity outfits is practicality. Because I'm a normal person with a normal job and a normal life, it won't be feasible for me to go about everyday life in a structured dress that cost $500 as well as sky-high stilettos. It just doesn't make sense because I'll have to take the bus or the train, I'm pretty sure my feet will be aching at the end of the day, and what if I spill coffee or rip the dress on a sharp object when going about my job? It's just not practical for a normal person like me.

However, Lily's style is so much more practical, functional, and also very comfortable. I look forward to trying out her style because I feel that it's suitable for normal people like me who can't really afford too many nice designer stuff, and would rather wear an outfit that is comfortable and practical. I don't know about you, but sometimes I find it hard to dress comfortably and look stylish at the same time.
Lily's style is the perfect embodiment of that, her outfits look comfortable, and she looks amazing !
And that is why my style inspiration is Lily Collins.
