We went shopping for Lily, Jess, Mindy, and Emily

A few weeks ago, I was invited by Mastercard and Neiman Marcus to play in their dressing rooms for an afternoon. "Pick any style you like! Are you looking for evening gowns, day dresses, casual wear?..."

Please. I am looking to dress like TV characters. You know, just like normal people.

But no, really. If people didn't take inspiration from our favorite small screen stars, then sites like YKYLF wouldn't exist. So I put together four looks I could picture some of our favorite ladies wearing. What do you think of these choices?

Lily Rhodes van der Woodsen Bass Humphrey Bass never met a blingy dress she couldn't wear the hell out of. We'll miss TV's most  negligent stylish mom when Gossip Girl ends in December.

Red: Marchesa Notte Strapless Silk Crepe Dress

Blue: Catherine Deane Silk Pleated Gown

This collection was meant for Jess of New Girl, but it could easily work for Emma on Glee, too. We all know Miss Pillsbury loves her some Kate Spade, right?

Black/Blue dress: Robert Rodriguez Fitted Contrast Dress (in B&W)

Green cardi & dress: kate spade eliza bead-collar cardigan and kate spade willa dot-print silk dress

Mindy of The Mindy Project is fast becoming my pretend BFF. She's sassy! She's colorful! She's a little dorky! Who doesn't want a little Mindy in her life? Can't you see her hitting the club (again) or going out on an ill-fated date in either of these two looks?

Dress & Jacket: Madison Marcus Wrap Dress (in green), T Bags Sequined Jacket (similar)
Pants & Jacket: Helmut Lang Pixel Suiting Blazer, Renzo and Kai Beaded Tank, Kelly Wearstler Skinny Pants

Our favorite Revenging Roomie, Emily, has a penchant for classics with a twist. While I doubt she'd wear these lace pants to the Grayson Manor, the swing coat is perfect for those times when you unexpectedly winter in the Hamptons.

Casual: Robert Rodriguez Fit-and-Flare Coat, Robert Rodriguez Slim Lace Capri Pants, Robert Rodriguez blouse (sorry, no link. It has seemingly vanished from the internet.)

Dressy: RED Valentino Metallic Cardigan & Knit Dress

This day of fun and frivolity was sponsored by MasterCard Priceless Chicago, who in no way/shape/form influences our opinions here at YKYLF. We can possibly be bought with doughnuts and champagne, however.

Fall Fashion Super Special - Part 2 of 2

Here's part two of our Fall Fashion Super Special. Whether your look is preppy, boho, or adorkable, we've got you covered for back-to-school fashion. Get ready for Fall, YKYLF!

Gossip Girl

We will always love Blair, even if she has had more than a few fashion missteps these past few seasons. Remember B circa season 1? She always had the most perfect preppy ensembles and stunning dresses. Here's a selection of picks from the Queen B's closet.

Serena is totally immune to the weather, and sometimes has trouble remembering to cover up her vanderBoobsens, her macaron, or both. But despite it all, we love her (and her fab closet). Jewelled necklines, daytime sequins, kickass boots and yes, daring dresses are all part of our picks for S.

Glee

Every week we gush over Emma's adorable perfectly coordinating outfits (how does a high school counselor afford that much Kate Spade?!). Her statement necklaces are always spot-on, and she never seems over-coordinated. Below are some perfectly coordinated ensembles for our favourite counselor.

Mercedes doesn't care about what people think about her outfits, which is what makes her style so unique. Anything shiny and/or sparkly will find its way into Mercedes' closet, for sure. We've compiled a selection of gems that we're sure Mercedes would be all over.

New Girl

Totes obsessed with Jess' adorkable outfits from New Girl. We love her fresh take on classics, her Kate Spade wardrobe, and her love of bows. Snaps for her always adorable PJs, perfect for a late night study sesh or movie nights with your new roomies. Just don't wear them to class, k?

90210

(note: 90210 is not a show I'm very familiar with, so I had some help from fellow YKYLFer Anthony!)

Silver serves up some hipster realness, but blends decades seamlessly. Whether it's a 70s infused jumpsuit or a lacey Downton-themed blouse, she keeps it real and stylish.

Naomi has money and she knows how to spend it. She's a bit like Samantha Jones: The Early Years. Bold, bright, and tight works for her, and we've created a collection of exactly that.

Revenge(!!!)

Ashley, our favourite London expat, always has the most perfect ensembles. From killer heels to gorgeous dresses, we want her entire closet. No, seriously, we do. Dear Revenge (!!!) writers, we love you, but can you please give Ashley a little more screentime/even more outfits this season? Love, YKYLF.

Emily looks great, whether she's kicking ass or just planning her wedding. She's one of the few TV characters who hasn't really misstepped thus far (actually, come to think of it, all of Revenge (!!!) is pretty well-dressed in general!). We love her simple, classic style, and our picks reflect her elegant, but understated aesthetic.

Those are our picks... what's your fav back-to-school look??
