Waiting for Santa: Blair Waldorf through the years

Hello everyone, as many of your might already know, yesterday was the last episode ever of Gossip Girls, the 10th episode of the 6th season was epilogue and yes, we can say, the happy ending and most exciting thing, the identity of gossip girl is finally reveled. I'm not going to comment to much the episode even if i'd like to, because i don't want to give away any spoilers to any of you that didn't watch the episode yet. Want i'm going to do is talk about the evolution of Blair Waldorf's fashion style. If you watched all the season i might have noticed that as her character developed, her style did as well. I really like the transition she went through, she started has a high school preppy queen and then she became a very sophisticated woman.

In season 1 and 2 she was still in high school, she was a teenager and she was always wearing the Constance uniform and a bow headband. She loved color blocking and none can forget her signature bright tights pared with a statement coat. She didn't wear hills yet so she was always seen wearing flats, her hair was aways in loose curls and she loved rocking a bright lipstick.

If you want to create an outfit inspired by the young Blair all you need is:

• a bright pair of tights
• a uniform like shirt possibly navy blue
• a white shirt with a ribbon on the collar 
• a bright coat or a bon-ton coat (like the one in the first outfit)
• a pair of flats
• a bow headband 
• Don't forget to style your hair in curls and wear a bright lipstick if you want. 

In season 3-4, we start seeing the transition from the young Waldorf to the mature one. In this phase, she loves wearing colorful flower patterns and she trades the super bright shades of more pastel-like ones. She uses a lot of chiffon and loves mixing different prints. Other very important thing is that she went from her signature bow headband to fascinators, influenced by her trip to Paris. For the first time she stars wearing hills. At that time, she also really liked wearing wool blazers with matching skirts and a blouse underneath. As far as makeup goes, she's also transitioning into darker shades, she always wears a plummy blush, a very soft brown smoky eye and nude lips. Her hair are still in wavy curls. 

If you want to look like young-adult Blair all you need is:

• a flower pattern dress or skirt
• sandals
• a fascinator or a little hat
• a leather shopping bag
• a wool blazer and skirt
• a printed blouse 

In season 5-6 she is a full grown up, she's married, she's part of a royal family and she has to go for a more sophisticated toned down look. She now uses very light prints, the colors are way darker,one of the shades i've seen her wearing the most in deep dark red or oxblood, she almost aways uses nude tights instead of her bright ones, all her dresses come to her knees now. This also the first time we see her wearing pants or suits. Even if her outfits are more formal now, she loves playing with see through fabrics and puffy dresses. 

One of the biggest changes is definitely her hair, she no longer wears them down but she styles them is braided buns or high hairstyles, paired with a sparky gemstone headband. 

She also uses a lot more clutches than shopping bags and her makeup is a little bit more intense now, she kept the lips neutral but she uses a darker eyeshadow. One accessory that we can not forget is her proposal ring necklace, she never takes that off. 

If you want the sophisticated Blair's look, all you need is:

• long dark autumn colors dresses
• clutches
• sparkly headband
• a ring as a pendent 
• nude tights
• don't forget to style your hair in a side bun

I hope you enjoyed reading this post and going through Blair's style evolution. I also hope you enjoyed the seasons finale, post a comment if you want me to do the same thing for Serena's style. 

I'll see you next time! Bye bye!
