Combined, the maximalist ensemble, somehow,worked.
I was instantly intrigued by her fearless approach to dressing.
So much so, that I began to tune into more and more of the creators TikTok videos.
I have two main styles of TikToks, Eve-Lily says.
No matter the format, her videos are all filled with amazing more-is-more outfits.
Turns out, Eve-Lily gets many of her statement items from the vintage and secondhand world.

For spring, should I be challenging myself to incorporate more outre garments into my looks?
Her content has certainly acted as a crucial reminder that fashion is meant to be a form of self-expression.
Feeling inspired, I asked the creator where she gets ideas forhernew ensembles or styling ideas.
I love recreating runway looks from my own wardrobe with layering, pinning, and creativity, she says.
I also ask my followers on stories what theyd like to see me do.
Perhaps I should take to my Instagram or TikTok to source new outfit ideas.
Actually, that sounds horrifyingbut I will take her tips for pulling off maximalism, should I embrace it.
Confidence, creativity, and the acceptance of haters, she says, is the trick.
