So for our very good friend Adorable's birthday, JAP and I threw her a Gossip Girl themed party... basically, it was an excuse for all of us to get dressed up like we were in NYC (not usually acceptable in the middle-of-nowhere town we live in) and drink martini's. By the way, no wonder people love martini's! After about two, you are just giggly.
In choosing our GG outfits, we each chose a character to best model ourselves after. The obvious choices for the females were Serena and Blair. No one really wants to look like Jenny Humphrey (unless its Halloween) or Vanessa Abrams (unless they live on a commune). Surprisingly, JAP and I were both Serena, which is probably one of the whole times in history that we have agreed on fashion to such a degree. Our friend's Adorable and Feisty Latina were more Blair-esque.
JAP copied a Serena outfit from early on in this season with black shorts and a black translucent top (care of moi!) with a pink belt, jacket and some adorable Coach shoes that she never had occasion to wear (thank god I didn't make her get rid of those in last springs cleaning.... and don't worry JAP, I'm coming for those). She accented the outfit with the signature jewelry piece that Serena always sports.
I went a little early-GG Serena with some tights and sexy boots (from JAP's closet) covered in a long, heavily beaded, zebra print peasant shirt. I used some cheap jewelry purchased from Forever 21 for a little bling. The shirt collar itself served as the classic Serena jewelry.
The party was a success and we all looked fabulous!
Recommendations if you want to throw your own GG party... look through all of your friends closet's before you go out and buy an outfit. We all want to be Serena and Blair, but we don't come with an AMEX black card, so mix and match. So until next time, remember, when in doubt wear red! XOXO The Red Head!
