Fashion Is Fun

Would You Like a New Outfit for That Attitude?

the style trajectory of jenny humphrey.jpgLet’s talk about Jenny’s outfits from last night, shall we? Because, in a very true to life manner, Jenny’s turned 15, picked up a huge attitude in the process, and is diligently reflecting her newfound not quite a woman self with over-the-top outfits and almost as much eyeliner as Jodie Harsh.

Her new look? A cross between Betsey Johnson, to channel that young designer vibe, and 80’s Madonna via gobs of wannabe Gothic jewelry and a new don’t-mess-with-me walk.

We love that Eric Daman goes so out of his way to reflect what the characters are up to sartorially (got to love Blair’s Communion Day white socks in thigh-high form for Chuck seduction), but gray, fishnet knee-highs? In public? At work?

Quite a jump from her polka-dot socks / headbanded curly hair / big bag swinging from her elbow days, no? But maybe, since she’s in high school, that’s what makes it so real.

She's also channeling some of that Bedford hipster vibe with her plaid and too-long bangs. it's like the movie Thirteen in Brooklyn. But on an off-note, howw hot was that kiss at the end??

major transformation for little j. but in the previews for next week, her look is like old little j meets new little j. i guess she's trying to find herself.

don't forget, j was dressing in polka dots and headbands when she was trying to fit in with blair's group. a lot of 15 year olds dress a certain way to fit in with a certain crowd.

Awww come on who wouldn't want to kiss Chase?! And its not like it was Kirsten Dust and Brad Pitt- anyone rember that?! That was werid! As far as her style goes I think alot of people bounce around sometimes i like perfect put together outfits and others I rock vintage throwback looks...and do keep in mind it is a TV show therefore just like the drama the fashion is amped up to the max!

When I was in high school, one month I wore nothing but Clueless-inspired schoolgirl skirts with thigh highs and the next I was angry and stomped around in docs and agressively ugly flower print dresses. It's normal.

Does anyone know who really designs Jenny Humphrey's "line?" I read that Eric Daman designed the dress she wore to the white party...is he doing all of her dresses too?

Eew. When they were kissing, not only was I thinking about VANESSA! And how much cuter she and nate are, and also...Taylor Momsen looks like a really terrible kisser. That kiss wasn't hot at all. It looked awkward, and forced, and just..a turn OFF
