This being my first HerCampus article, I wanted to make sure it was about something I absolutely loved. Gossip Girl is definitely a show I just cannot seem to get enough of… the cute boys, the scandalous rivalries, and of course, the coveted glamorous world of fashion! Being that these characters are Manhattan’s Elite, their clothes and sense of style do not fall very far behind that moniker. In fact, sometimes the garments seem to be even classier and more luxurious than the characters who service them!
I know what you all are thinking… how totally unfair! Although these trust-fund babies seem to spend $10,000 on a single pair of Louboutin’s, us damsels on a budget can definitely afford Blair’s glamorous headband or Serena’s dazzling accessories for MUCH cheaper and even MUCH cuter!
- Blair Waldorf’s School Girl Outfit
Blair’s most basic look and one that I believe most girls can get for under $40! The look to the right is from Forever 21: the shorts are $10, the blouse $18, and the necklace $14. Nothing says fab like a fashionable save!
- Serena’s Out on the Town Look
Serena’s known for her casual yet chic out on the town looks. Get this look for under $70! The tank top, purse, and heels are all from Charlotte Russe together for $52, and the shorts from H&M are $17!
- Jenny Humphrey’s Night Out
Jenny has been known to be rougher around the edges, and you too can get this edgy look too without being banned to the outskirts of Manhattan! The black romper, necklaces, furry purse, and booties are all from Love Culture for under $80!
- Vanessa’s Boho Chic Look
Vanessa is known for her boho chic outfits. Snag the elite look with this dress from Francesca’s for only $54!
With any of these trendy yet affordable looks, you can expect to rise to the top of the elite…without having to tap into your trust fund!
