ideas lookbook 20 because there's around
20 working days in a typical month and I
wanted to give you something different
for every single day and all of these
looks are meant to be very basic simple
go-to outfit ideas that you can

always everything mentioned in today's
video will be down below in that
description bar so please make sure to

timestamps for every single outfit in

future and I will also be doing a
business casual work from home version
of this lookbook so never fear if this
is a little bit too professional for you
guys I hope you fall in joy please make
sure to subscribe and join the miss
Lilly family before you go and the let's
get started
outfit idea number one the simple mix
and match blazer and trouser combo if
you're like me and don't bought a full
matching suit every single time and your
closet is comprised of a lot of
separates like mine don't worry you can
still have the formality of a pantsuit
but you have the playfulness of the
colors you can mix and match material
experiment with different fit I just
suggest to stick with a core set of
simple colors that mix and match with
each other really well so that you can
maximize the amount of combinations idea
number two very self-explanatory the
loose button-down or blouse with a
pencil skirt ideal for those Harder's
climbers out there you get to loosen it
up on top with your loose fitting blouse
and then you have that pencil skirt
which of course gives you exposure on
the legs versus a restricting pant now
this is a no-brainer like obvious basic
of basics look but you can definitely
show up your personality by utilizing
different patterns different colors and
different sleeve length alpha number
three this is actually a look that I'm
resurrecting from back in the fall that
I got lots of great feedback on so happy
you guys like it because a longline vest
is one of my favorite like unexpected
outerwear pieces so my blank canvas is a
white button-down tucked into some
blacks crops joggers but you can of
course wear any type of black pants that
you want then I layer on the
and it adds warmth to my body without
too much bulk it's not a typical
cardigan or blazer you can see so much
your outfit you can see the peak of your
sleeves and it's just such an easy it
menswear-inspired topper to add a
instant cool factor to your office
outfit ID number four let's talk about
those staple dresses I have three
silhouettes that I always go to the
first time being a short dress I like
this for casual days days I don't want
anything it too tight or form-fitting
and also when I want some more coverage
the second one is a sheath style dress
this is for more professional occasions
I swear by all the ones who've been in a
republic this one is just like that I
feel like when a peltro and Iron Man
exists the last one is something
in-between just a classic wrap dress
this is a universally flattering classic
style that's somewhere in between
feminine and functional so between those
three styles I have all of my needs
covers when I want to wear is standalone
basic dress by itself ID number five oh
one of my favorites you guys know how
much I love like drapey trenchcoat so
I'm bring it into the office take out
your structured blazer or your company
cardigan if you want to switch things up
the trench coats going to give you the
same like dressed up effect but there's
something that's so like effortlessly
cool about it it's got a utilitarian
vibe you also gives you a lot more
visual interest a lot more movement and
a nice option for those of you who are
still experiencing the colder weather
idea number six incorporate some
culottes or some cropped wide leg pants
into your wardrobe I feel like this is
such a subtle way to bring like a
high-fashion street wear type of
silhouette into your basic wardrobe it's
like your typical everyday pant which is
a little bit of edge but obviously you
get way more flexibility and comfort
because of those wide legs I like to
sell mine with a slim same shirt by
itself or layer on different Blazers
just be careful of the proportions these
are a large-volume pants you want to
make sure you look balanced and that
waist is Nick and accentuated so you
don't lose your figure over number 7
y'all seen this so many times on my
channel but a pleated midi skirt is a
great option if you're just sick of
wearing pencil skirt that month it's
definitely a lot more feminine but it's
also very appropriate for spring and
summer or hot climate areas where you
need something that's whisper soon but
also add a professional skirt length and
then to maximize the airiness of the
outfit pair with a loose-fitting
then top so that you can get some
comfort from top to bottom idea number
eight this one's a little bit more
high-fashion but I just wear this
recently to a conference and I so love
this outfit paired my thick white rib
crew neck t-shirt into a pair of
high-waisted stripe crops jogger pants
and this fans are just the star of the
show they help me really express my love
for menswear it's very fitting but it
still looks really cool and badass and
edgy so I really like this one if this
is way too like form-fitting for you or
your dress code no worry you can wear on
a long cardigan a regular blazer or that
long line vest and still get the same
cool menswear effect now switching gears
to outfit idea number nine another great
pan option is a wide leg high-waisted
trousers this is kind of like some
essences of the 1920s thirties or 70s I
think that has such a sweet romantic
almost vintage look to them but you get
that nice knit of the highways was also
again like the coolest you have that
full openness of the pant leg but with
full coverage to the bottom so just to
echo the retro vibe Zoe's getting from
these pants I went with a long neck tie
blouse I do number 10 just so simple and
basic so obviously a classic the
matching blazer and pant suit ideal for
your most professional of days whether
it be an interview a presentation with a
boss or superior I recently reinvented
mine with a more fresher modern look I
like a more cropped pant that exposes an
ankle and also focusing on Blazers that
are really tailored and more slim
fitting so in case you were wondering
the pants are actually from Uniqlo and
the blazers from H&M I mix and match
this one I thought it was pretty good
however back in the day when I was
working in corporate America Banana
Republic Appetit was my go-to for that
formal investment suit that matched
perfectly with each other idea number 11
this one's by far like my flirtiest or
spring inspired outfit I paired a simple
plain tank top you can also swap it out
for a high coverage t-shirt and I talked
it into what looks like a pencil skirt
but with soft ruffles on the bottom then
as a topper I have my drapey trench coat
I love that the flowiness matches well
with the softness of the skirt but the
utilitarian style is a nice
trap to the femininity of the skirt a
cute look fleas really grows out there
if this is way too informal I would swap
out that skirt for a more simple black
or solid color pencil skirt ID number 12
is to go monochromatic or basically same
color on color for those days are still
exception minimalist I just like
smashing together my favorite two pieces
in the same color tone like black gray
and white and I feel instantly put
together very adult very sleek and
modern also another great tip in the
morning like if you're worried about two
different colors like oh do these colors
or patterns match like girl you have to
worry about it and an added bonus is
that this is a nice visual trick for
your shorties out there I'm 5 2 we have
the same color on color you create a
very seamless slimming shape versus two
different colors that creates a
horizontal line kind of visually cutting
you in half
obviously not a major problem or to
prevent me from wearing two different
colors but just a little gem to throw
out there and keep it above your head
off an idea number 13 we got another
classic combo just your basic blazer
along with your pencil skirt my favorite
way to wear this combo is a more laid
back casual style I like playing with
two different colors and then I actually
like be more oversized boyfriend blazer
if you need to formalize this up I will
go with the same color in the Blazer in
the pencil skirt and then also do a more
fitted shorter blazer I drew number 14
is to leverage those favorite sweaters
you have in your closet something that's
more crewneck and lightweight for
everyday use is definitely my favorite
this one gives you the formality and
coverage that's appropriate for our work
office but you can obviously mix and
match these with any of your bottom I've
got solid colors for simpler days or
when I'm pairing it with a pattern
bottom but I also have like a Parisian
girl staple of a classic striped sweater
if I need a sophisticated pattern on my
top ID number 15 is a very common look
that I'm sure all of you have seen in
thousands of different times that places
like express its tearing that button
down or that blouse underneath a v-neck
sweater now I like to play with the
blouse underneath because you can get
two completely different looks even
though the same concept you can do at a
necktie blouse for something that's like
a more feminine and cutesy and then you
could do the closet button-down written
menswear right if you need an idea for
layering and colder climates you can
also pair this combo with any of your
favorite pair of pants trousers or
skirts ID number 16 let's return to the
idea of the dress another idea is to
pair the dress with a more formalized
longer blazer or coat I like whipping
out this trick ever have a dress that's
really comfortable but it might be a
little bit too casual for the office by
pairing a blazer or even opening up my
shirt dress and wearing it as a cool
little topper like I did right here that
kind of elevates the simple dress into
something that's more professional and
more you know dressy for the office so
just an idea is going to leverage the
stuff you already have in your closet
and I have to invest in additional super
fancy dresses I do number 17 is pairing
a simple button-down with full-length
joggers these are the same driver that
you've seen throughout this video but
instead of hiking it up to my shin I
keep them down to a little bit more
tapered drapey pants because they're
high-waisted and I tuck the shirt within
it and makes my legs look extra long and
I can't believe that the loose top with
the drapey material the pants literally
makes me feel like I'm wearing pajamas
but I love totally office ready and I
don't lose my body shape even though
wearing so much billowy fabric I do
eighteen and another super simple any
day like a no-brainer or throw on type
of outfit it's just pairing a loose
shirt with your favorite pair of
trousers I've got several favorites I
got my bow blouse I've got a short
sleeve drapey blouse a half-wave drapey
blouse and then also just a bun down
shirt I've go for this no-brainer combo
for the days I'm a little bit more
self-conscious or might be like on my
period I don't want anything
form-fitting in the legs or the top and
I also don't want anything that's like
restricting around my stomach
so nothing highways did this allows me
to have the comfort of a loose top with
no bulging or pressure on my stomach
when I'm sitting down all day and I know
this looks probably super similar to all
the other stuff I showed you but I think
that's the best part I was just as
fashionable as any other day but those
simple choices is going to be so
impactful in terms of my comfort level
throughout the rest of the day and our
last two outfit ideas oh you guys know
working in an office with high a/c you
got to have your cardigan
ready so my two main cardigan focus
outfits I love is the first one just a
simple sleek seamless top tucked into a
pencil skirt and the reason why I like a
more lightweight topic cuz I don't like
it
bunch underneath the cardigan and making
it kind of uncomfortable and restricting
throughout today I like a really nice
smooth look if possible and then the
second way I could sell this is the same
way but just tucked into either like
some culottes or some crops joggers
obviously you can set a cardigan over
anything but I'm just showing you guys
my Topsy looks I've got long rib styles
I got short sheer styles just mix and
match and just kind of go with the flow
as you wish it looks good on top of your
outfit that day whoo you guys that does
