Well it just so happens that I look more to fictional characters for my personal style inspiration and I really admire the wardrobe of Blair Waldorf in Gossip Girl. However silly the story gets I stick with the show just to see her next outfit. Make up wise Blair's hair is always pristine and curling tongues never go amiss, plus lots of lip gloss. Fresh blush or I suspect at times they opt for bronzer instead and eyes contoured in natural eyeshadow colours and defined with a black eye pencil. Now my hair's a bit more 'Serena-y' and to say that kohl eyeliner doesn't suit me is a mjor understatement.
I adore the way Blair Waldorf, a character from Gossip Girl dresses. I must admit (please don't all come after me with your stilettos!) I'm not loving Season 3 at all but Blair keeps me turning to ITVplayer, maybe it's our shared headband addiction. Still it's not the same now she's not living in her family apartment with it's regular supply of beautiful flower arrangements! In the first two series she's still at school and the basic uniform guidelines seem to be a navy skirt and white blouse. In general at this point Miss Waldorf favours a nautical colour palette, adding in red and always topped off with a headband.
Outfit one: If Blair was put on the British high street and favoured slightly softer colours, but also saved up for a bit and managed to get to the Luella store for her headband fix. Topshop skirt, New Look top and shoes, Oasis tights, Marks and Spencer skirt. As it happens the sixth form at the school I went to had a uniform guideline of a navy skirt suit with a white shirt or blouse, but sadly everything else had to be black. Accessorize always have a fabulous selection of headbands at not unreasonably prices.
Some clothes for the day:
I personally love it when Blair branches out colour palette wise and goes for something soft and pretty:
Outfit 2: Miu Miu headband, Luella blouse, Moschino Cheap & Chic skirt, New Look shoes.
In season 3 Blair also has some lovely though quite bold shoes, I particularly adore a pair of pink strappy Louboutins she wears. In this series she is also at university and though she hasn't quite got the hang to dressing to fit in with the other college students, but then again to a lesser extent neither have I, her style does change to fit in with that of her businessman boyfriend Chuck.
In the evening Blair's style is still classic with lots of black and monochrome with some metallic tones and the occasional jewel colour.
And to complete the look? Why a beautiful headband of course!
