For many of us, this year was the year of Gossip Girl. Every Monday, millions of teens and adults, alike, would tune into the luxurious lives of sophisticated Manhattanites. The show’s buzz resonated throughout the country, and became a principal subject of conversation.
Moreover, the featured fashion is coveted and subsequently hunted down by fashionista fans. Lately, it seems as though everybody wishes to emulate the style of the Upper East Side. There has even been a newly launched site entitled “Gossip Girl Fashion” (www.gossipgirlfashion.com) which takes the clothing from the program and allows viewers to purchase their favorite pieces. I simply cannot fathom why people have such a hard time being original.
I will openly admit Gossip Girl has changed the way people dress. I cannot stand it! I detest walking down the street and looking at mundane teenagers attempting to be cool and chic. Although, I love the clothes I do not think all the loud looks are meant to be compiled together nor worn in packs.
The electric hue tights, preppy cardigans, knee high riding boots and posh patterned jackets are just some of the pieces that have been sported all across Manhattan by pre-pubesant teenagers. It’s becoming an epidemic. Stop the madness before it’s too late! You know you love me.
