The Guide to Dressing Fabulously For Halloween

Photobucket

Think you're ready? Then

Now that Halloweek is in full force, Meg has enlisted me to set the readers on the right path to total fabulosity on the big day itself. If you don't have a costume planned yet, you're going to want to read this (we can fashionably late in our planning as well, can we not?)So I've set out with our dear readers in mind to demonstrate examples of the perfect costume. You're welcome.

Gossip Girl!!!

Joey: I can already tell gossip girl is gonna be a big part of our site
Meg: lol :D
Believe it or not, while we selfishly enjoy our summer, some of our favorite shows are already back to work. Nicole Richie and Mary-Kate Olsen have already filmed appearances on Chuck and Samantha Who, and Gossip Girl, a TGTEF (The Guide to Everything Fabulous) staple, has made its way to the Hamptons for what is sure to be another scandal-ridden season. Now, as any viewer can attest, the show is as much about the characters and the drama they inevitably get themselves into as it is the fabulous ensembles everyone and their mother (literally) wears. One perk of our media obsessed world is that paparazzi have caught just about every outfit so far. To see some of the highs and lows of these outfits captured, click
Serena

I'm not sure exactly what they were going for, but the whole look is just a little too ghetto fabulous for my liking
4/10

I like it. A lot. The dress is lovely, as is the bag.
8/10

I'm kinda speechless on this one. Sure the tunic is beachy and all but the print is ghastly.
1/10

This one's pretty nice. But I don't know how it really fits the character of Serena. I think the costume designer has had a little trouble finding a look for her.

I don't know if I can get behind the dress. I think the peach looks good on her but I don't really understand the dress itself. But props for the bag even if it is a little showy.
6.5/10
Photobucket
This one I actually like a lot. The slouch of the dress and the chunky bracelet perfectly convey the laid back beachy feel they're going for.
8/10
Photobucket
Unless Serena has some sort of storyline in which she becomes a businesswoman in the 80's I'm sure the blazer doesn't belong to her, but like I said, the peach is a good look for her. Plus the lacy slipdress, someone paid attention to the S/S 08 runways.

Blair
Photobucket
For some inexplicable reason we only have one Blair outfit so far but let's just be thankful it's a good one. Blair has a flair for the dramatic and she makes no exception here. Spring florals+fifties housewife+bike+bitchy=fabulous
!! Who knew?

Jenny

This is gorgeous. I love it when Little J dresses up.
9/10
Photobucket
I love this. So far I think I like Jenny's wardrobe the best this season.
9/10

Chuck
Photobucket
To answer the age old question, Chuck wears short shorts, and he evidently will be doing so for the duration of his Hampton's stay.
6/10
Photobucket
I have some issues with this one. Evidently the shark sweater opened Chuck's wardrobe to new horizons, but this influx of argyle was not the way to go.
4/10
Photobucket
I love it, kinda. I definitely wouldn't dress like this but Chuck is unabashedly your grandfather and this is something he has permission to wear. And I like his sunglasses.
6/10
Photobucket
This hat has become Chuck's new scarf.
7.5/10
Photobucket
See? I told you about the hat! And this is definitely how Chuck would dress on the beach.
9/10
Photobucket
The color is not exactly summery. I guess we'll see what he wears it to.
5/10

Nate
Photobucket
The thing about Nate is that I'm having trouble distinguishing what's a costume and what's Chace Crawford's own clothing.
4/10
Photobucket
Are the shoes really necessary?
5/10
Photobucket
Ok, actually I like these shoes.
6/10

Dan
Photobucket
Dan's clothes are really formulaic.
6/10
Photobucket
See what I mean?
4/10
Photobucket
This is a little bit senior citizen casual.
3/10
Photobucket
I'm telling you they just put a button down and some pants and they're good to go.
5/10

Eric

Eric has always been a little experimental in his clothing. He's starting to look like Chuck's mini me though. But I like the shoes
