Blair Waldorf Inspired Outfit

Queen B

In college they have what are called "mixers" - or socials, etc - and it's basically a themed party. Now, these are extremely fun (who doesn't love a good themed party and dressing up!?) but at the same time, stressful. You either know what the theme is ahead of time and can plan your outfit days in advance, or you find out the day of and don't have time to put together an outfit until last minute..

So, I attended a mixer a few months ago and the theme was "high school stereotypes". SO fun! Cheerleaders, jocks, nerds. Of course, you'd wear the over dramatic stereotype attire of whatever you chose to dress up as. I didn't want to be a cheerleader, because, well, I was one for 13 years lol. I didn't want to dress up boyish as a jock. And I didn't have suspenders or anything nerdy-lookin to be a nerd.

I had started to love the "collared shirt under a sweater" look for the fall and winter, and I realized if I wear that with a skater skirt and some knee high socks, I could be a prep! 
-I lowkey really wanted to dress as the "preppy girl" anyways ;)

& that's exactly what I did! 


white sweater (kohls), plaid collared button up (target) underneath, 
sleeves rolled up, white wrist watch (kohl's), pearl earrings, 
black skater skirt (kohl's), tops tucked in, white knee high socks (forever21), black bootie wedges (target)


Regularly, I am a HUGE fan of the "skater skirt w/ knee high socks" look and wear this outfit all the time. So I was already comfortable with it. 

& then I realized as I was taking selfies of my outfit - this could definitely be a Blair Waldorf inspired outfit!! & i LOVED it! 

This outfit was put together so last minute with pieces I already owned, stuff I wear on the regular, and ended up being such a big hit. I received so many compliments & I felt very proud of this :) 
(and it doesn't hurt that I have short brunette hair as well, I should've added a headband dangit)

BUT here is my Blair Waldorf "Queen B" inspired outfit!! I will forever adore this look ..& her
