i'm ready for a knee high boots comeback

Blair getting married in a basic af Elie Saab dress will never be right

neither was her marrying her longtime abusive spouse, the whole thing a mess. Why couldn't HE have been the one to fall off a roof

“gossip girl's impact on fashion in the 2000s was undeniable”

Hmm I sort of feel like it had no impact whatsoever? The og gossip girl really wasn’t that big of a deal after the first season?

I do think it single-handedly brought back the headbands trend of the 1990s/Clueless era. Nobody was wearing headbands in my school and the minute Gossip Girl aired everyone started wearing them and all the stops started stocking them.

If you watch the video she makes a very compelling argument for how they influenced teen shows and media that came after it and how they further popularized already current trends at the time of the show.

I think it had a cultural cachet even after the first and second seasons with recaps of the show being really popular, having crazy shippers, having filming candids in tabloids every week, and Blake Lively being a hot commodity well after the show fell off the ratings cliff

Blake Lively's continued success remains the most baffling thing to come out of Gossip Girl.

I have never seen an episode of the this show but they always used to film right outside my dorm and my roommates would freak out every time. I didn't get it.

I never watched but I would catch glimpses of the fashion every now and then off site and I didn’t think the fashion was special?

Lol this post is tailor made (excuse the pun) for me

As a teen, I used to worship Season 1 Blair Waldorf's closet. Blair Waldorf wore headbands so I wore headbands! Blair Waldorf wore red tights so I wore red tights! Blair Waldorf wore capes so I wore capes!

I even bought a bunch of the Marc Jacobs outfits: the Thanksgiving dress, the mint green dress in Victor/Victrola, the mustard yellow dress she wears during the Non Judging Breakfast Club scene and the pink strappy dress she wears in Paris in Season 4. I also bought so many headbands. Obviously I'm too old to wear any of this now but I still pull out the more sophisticated sparkly Jennifer Behr ones for special occasions. Good times.

The mustard Marc dress is holy grail for me! I'm envious that you found one!
