Ever since I started watching Gossip Girl I was so inspired by the girls fashion, hair and beauty that appeared in the show. Blair, Serena, Jenny and Vanessa have all inspired me in some way through their sense of style. Blair had the most smart and preppy look, Vanessa has her boho/hippy style and Jenny with her Gothic and grunge look. However, Serena, the most popular and glamorous girl in the whole show is my favourite by far and therefore I felt that I had to dedicate a blog post to her.
As I have nearly completed all six seasons of Gossip Girl and sadly it is coming to an end, I decided I would show you three different looks that Serena has featured wearing in the show, and thought I would find similar items you could get from the high-street, for so much cheaper than Serena's actual outfit.
1) Work/Smart Outfit
2) Casual/Lunch Date Outfit

1) Work/Smart Outfit
5) Necklace - Gold Tone Teardrop Pearl Necklace - £25 - River Island
In the first look I picked of Serena she is wearing a knee-length pastel pink skirt which would be perfect for the transitional seasons from summer to autumn. Also, as we have been having some warm weather in England at the moment, this would be the perfect item to wear. She teamed the skirt with a lace strappy top which looked so lovely together as a combo. Although the weather isn't warm enough to wear a strappy top, you could swap this for a blouse or baggy t-shirt, which would still look very clean and sophisticated, plus perfect for work or a lunch date. Serena dressed the look up with some high heel burgundy shoes which are my favourite part of the outfit. This colour screams out autumn to me and would look perfect with anything this season. You could swap the high heels for flats or some boots for a more day-to-day look. Serena finishes the look off with a statement necklace. I could not find a similar one to Serena's so I opted for a pearl and gold necklace instead, which I personally think looks slightly better than Serena's. Her bag was a grey block colour with a handle and strap, but I chose a cream coloured bag instead, to keep in with the pastel colours in the outfit. For extra warmth, you could copy Serena's style and choose a furry gilet or add a grey oversized coat.

2) Casual/Lunch Date Outfit
1) Top - Teal Longline T-Shirt - £14.99 - New Look (Also in Black, Winter White, Plum, Spicy Orange and Aubergine)
5) Necklace - Large Beaded Flower Collar - £25 - Topshop
Serena's second look was more casual than the previous but she still manages to look smart at the same time. I couldn't find a top that looked similar to Serena's so I chose this teal smart t-shirt from New Look instead. Serena paired her shirt with a leather mini-skirt, which seems a little daring but would look perfect with the colour of the shirt. If you are not comfortable in leather, then why not pair it with a skater skirt or some trousers for a different casual look. Serena added some grey boots to make her outfit look more relaxed and I found some gorgeous biker boots from New Look which would look great this season. A burgundy handbag adds a pop of autumn colour. I wasn't too keen on Serena's necklace but I found this flowery statement necklace from Topshop, which I thought would look perfect with the colour of the shirt.

3) Autumn/Winter Outfit
1) Jacket - Slouchy Longline Blazer - £58 - Topshop
2) Jumper - Enamel Necklace Jumper - £46 - Topshop
3) Skirt - Staring At Stars Border Crinkle Skirt - £38 - Urban Outfitters
4) Pumps - Sandylion Slipper Shoes - £24 - Topshop
5) Bag - Suede Alba Hobo Bag - £60 - Topshop
The last outfit I chose of Serena's was another work outfit, however, this time it is much more autumn/winter friendly, rather than the first one. The colour palette in Serena's look is grey which can appear quite boring and bland, however Serena adds some dimension to her look through the pattern on the skirt. Serena kept the top half of her look quite basic with a simple grey jumper, however I could see some detailing at the top. I found this Topshop jumper with a necklace detailing which looked almost identical to Serena's. The skirt had to be the main focal point in the look, so I changed it up a bit and chose this black patterned skirt which I instantly fell in love with. The grey oversized blazer made the look appear more relaxed. As you can't see the shoes Serena is wearing I decided to pick the shoes I think would go best with this outfit. I decided on some burgundy pumps with a gold detailing to add some class and colour to the look. I finished off the look with a brown suede bag, perfect for this season.
Hope you got some inspiration from this post. Let me know if you enjoyed it and what other people you would like me to try and Get The Look for?
