While Kate Bosworth looked edgy in a Burberry studded skirt during London Fashion Week, another fashionista, Olivia Palermo, looked effortlessly chic in a layered Mulberry ensemble.

For the Mulberry AW2011 Show, Olivia piled on pieces from the brand: a muted pink skirt and an olive green blouse, then topped with two jackets – a structured khaki cropped blazer and a cognac-colored leather number.

She capped off the outfit with lace-up booties and a fabulous animal print Mulberry Tillie bag.

What do you think of Olivia’s Mulberry style? We love it, of course! We like that it doesn’t look ordinary or too “canned.” The eclectic mix is just so pretty to look at.
The combination of muted and rich hues is also an excellent contrast. Of course, we are most especially drawn to that pleated pink skirt. It’s a standout color against all the browns and olives.

That piece is from Mulberry’s Pre-Fall 2011 collection. If you like it, you might need to wait for a little. Of course, since it’s a Mulberry, it will most likely cost you a lot.
If you want to channel Olivia’s style without having to spend much, steal the look and make it your own with these:

Olivia’s bag is Mulberry’s oversized Tillie tote in oak Bengal tiger. If you like it, prepare to splurge because it will cost you a small fortune.
