Dress like Queen B

Everyone loves how Blair Waldorf, one of Gossip Girl’s main characters, dresses herself to different occasion. Our personal pick is the sleek and sharp look she showed when wearing all-black-and-white professional outfit of traditional prep school ensemble. Let’s see how we can imitate the look for less with some of the available fashion pieces.

We can start with Rag & Bone’s grey frontier shirt and a simple pencil skirt as foundation for the entire look. You can also find similar shirts available at your favorite retailer — or even in your closet — so imitating the look for even lesser may not be that hard to complete.

Use opaque tights, such as the one by Urban Outfitters, to flatter your legs. Pumps are the best companion for the look, so grab a pair of Nine West Thyme pumps at Nine West or simply find the perfect pair that suits your needs and of course budget. The Nine West pumps are highly affordable, but you can always find cheaper alternatives or use the pair you already have to achieve the look.

Don’t forget to add a touch of military-style by adding a nice Normandy cape to the mix, and top the look with a matching black leather handbag for a serious and elegant look.
