Guess many of you have already seen the pilot episode of the newest Gossip Girl last week. The mean girls of the MET steps are back, but this time with a new clique, quite confusing high school dress code (am pretty sure that their predecessor queen bee Blair Waldorf would have a say on this), and more gender diversity, and fluidity, definitely not on Twitter, and Instagram is the new tabloid.
More privileged and self-entitlement across the hallway, and their latest target – high school teachers.
Which happens to be the new Gossip Girl, headed by schoolteacher Kate, aka. Tavi Gevinson (yeah, the famous fashion blogger 10yrs ago!), with her minions of schoolteachers, ready to take down these spoiled kids.
That’s what sums it up, and I won’t tell more coz I don’t want to be the spoiler, lol.
Presenting, Julien Calloway the newest Queen Bee of Constance Billard.
I don’t know much about her (nor the person that plays her) but her fashion taste is quite interesting. So, for the sake of this fashion and having fun online, I decided to recreate her first look (and hopefully her next, and the next, etc.). If you’ve noticed on its pilot episode, product placements for luxury brands such as Chanel, Hermes, Balenciaga, Alicia + Olivia, they looove Louis Vuitton and only shop at Net-a-Porter! Even the high street brand Adidas.
And I thought I could recreate these looks without breaking my credit card.
After all, my favorite op shops in town are always my style savior!
To recreate the Julien Calloway’s school uniform’s look, here are the deeds:
•Oversized Van Heusen shirt (I think this is in size 50 for males), which I sourced at Baw Baw Food Relief Op Shop for $4.00
•Julien Calloway is a sporty girl, which is why you will notice she wears biker shorts at school. This biker short ($3.00) is also from Baw Baw Food Relief Op Shop, including this pair of nude boots ($3.00).
•I want my look to be more sophisticated than her, so instead of carrying a cup of latte, I chose to carry my favorite F. Scott Fitzgerald Classic Works in superb condition, which I got for $4.00 at Vinnies Op Shop, including my red leather handbag for $3.00.
•Gladly, my hubby got tons of neckties, and now they are all mine!
Time for the whole look!
This isn’t the MET steps, but at least it is brick!
What do you think of this look? Let me know if your thoughts, below!
BRB, my driver is here! He’s late! LOL
I used to watch the original Gossip Girl with my daughter, so I'll need to check out this reboot. I love how you recreated this outfit for so cheap!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the original Gossip Girl, and I still binge for its seasons. This reboot is also entertaining, but still early to say if its as good as the original.
DeleteYou look great! I think you did an excellent job of translating her look to your style.
ReplyDeleteLooking good as usual, Blair. I think you were able to pull the outfit quite well.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ivan! But definitely, I personally not agree for this look to be the next high school uniform, lol!
DeleteHahahaha. Definitely not advisable to be the next high school uniform. But classes are online, some high school kid might unwittingly wear this during one of their digital classes.
DeleteSuch a cool outfit! I wish I can wear high boots here in the pHils! I missed being bald!
ReplyDeleteI can't wear it for longer hours, lol
DeleteThat's a cool look. I remember wearing oversized men's shirts a long time ago LOL I haven't watched the new Gossip Girl yet. The fashions on that show are always so distinctive.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely it is worth investing in oversized men's shirt :)
DeleteYour outfit looks totally rock I love it ! This is what we called a fashion indeed nice photos!
ReplyDeleteThank you Maysz!
DeleteThis outfit is way too sexy for a high school uniform but for a television show it is not at all surprising.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. For a more realistic POV, this look is more of a ' a day after last night's hooked-up' LOL
DeleteI have never seen Gossip Girls. I do like the boots!
ReplyDeleteYou're giving that xoxo vibes! Love Gossip Girl so much! Can't wait to watch the pilot.
ReplyDeleteI'll try to recreate the other female characters outfits too.
DeleteI love your creative contents, I hope you can do a blaire Cher dress look a like in the future. I Leo gossip girls and I swear that they have the most stylish and fashionista characters but Clueless would also be a good choice. what do you think?
ReplyDeleteYes, she is truly iconic! I'll try to source those pieces and we'll see if I could recreate it :)
DeleteSpotted: Cute outfit!!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think I've seen articles on the new Gossip Girl. So is this a reboot? I loved the old one. Watched it from beginning til the end. I'm a huge Blaire Waldorf and Chuck Bass fan. I'll check out the pilot episode.
ReplyDeleteHey, nice boots!
I admit that I prefer the original Gossip Girl. The Chuck and Blair love affair is too kilig. Although Chuck is also a problematic one, but nonetheless Blair save him!
DeleteLarge size men's shirt is good and comfortable to wear. Also, there is a lots of way to wear pa.
ReplyDeleteThat is true!
DeleteI am all for your bag! Been thinking for so long if I should watch the Gossip Girl series, have you finished it?
ReplyDeleteAs of today they are just released their 3rd episode. I'm still not sure if its a good reboot, I'm just having fun with their fashion choices, LOL.
Deletesuper cool outfit. you nailed this girl! now I'm curious about Gossip Girl im checking whats it all about ��
ReplyDeleteI haven't watch it! But those boots?! Oh wow... I super love et! Gives a chick vibe to the whole get up.
ReplyDeleteThanks babe!
DeleteI love the look on you! Personally though, not my style. But you rock it !
ReplyDeleteI can wear it as a very casual wear, but definitely I wouldn't wear it as a high school student. Maybe I'll get a hall-pass in Uni.
