(TikTok even facesa possible banin the U.S. because of it!).

I first came across Eve-Lilys content while mindlessly scrolling through TikTok one late evening.

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.
