Gossip Girl: Serena Vs. Blair

I don't know if you watch Gossip Girl, if you don't then you should. Even if you hate their voices or the fact that they are rich and self absorbed , the fashion IS amazing. My friend Katie, who got me into it, always raved about the amazing clothes the two main girls wear. I'm talking about Serena and Blair. What is so great about them, is the fact they they are both stylish but in a completely different way. Every episode I find myself subconsciously putting them (mentally) in a fashion fight against each other and seriously asking myself, who would win?

Blair

Blair (on the left) dresses sweetly. Lots of pastel colours, lady like blouses, silk or lace gloves, bows, cute pumps and elegant evening dresses exuding old Hollywood glamour without the tackiness. If you can believe it, her style does not in anyway resemble her personality. She could be described as manipulative, scheming and at times; brilliant. Her fashion is always refreshing because she somehow makes innocent and diplomatic ensembles sexy. She doesn't wear short skirts every week or revealing dresses. Although that will not be to some peoples taste, I definitely believe, at times, that in terms of both sexuality and fashion, less (flesh on display) is more. However, in some cases, their is nothing better than a mini dress or a low cut cocktail dress - it's just nice to see something new. Here are some of my favourite outfits throughout thee series' (all of these imaged have been taken from Google and do not belong to me):

Serena
Serena's style is sexy, glamorous, modern and chic. Every outfit is feminine and yet has a slight androgynous feel. Having the longest legs in the world, she tends to have them on display...not that you can blame her...with short, sassy dresses or tight jeans. I have to say my favourite thing about her, is the effortless of all her outfits. She looks casual and yet her outfits can go from day to night; restaurant to bar. She also has a natural coolness to how she wears her outfits, with her boho blonde locks and natural make up (clear skin, glossed lips and light smoky eyes). Her outfits are always season appropriate and I would argue, could look high fashion in a bin bag. Here are my favourite picks of her outfits through out gossip girl:

So which is better? Well my winner has to be, 100%... Blair!
She is different, feminine, current and yet classic. She experiments and has such a signature look that I am inclined to do a Blair Waldorf outfit post!!

Who is your winner and why?
