Do the dominant colors in one’s wardrobe reflect that individual’s personality?

If that’s the case, then I must be downright boring.

I’ve got a closetful of blacks, whites, dark blues and greys. That’s basically it. I think for the past year or so, I just went overboard with the whole jeans-and-tee look because I got too lazy to care, but now its come to the point that my personality and love for color just got washed out. So now I’m scouring the web for inspiration to spruce up my wardrobe with some brights and a few unique pieces.

I love yellow, so I am absolutely all over Sonia Rykiel’s ads for her new collection. Read more about it on FabSugar [Fab Ad: Sonia Rykiel Spring 2008].
But here’s a sneak peek–

Eye Candy Bazaar also features ‘wearable art’ in delicious green: [Wear Your Art: Spring's Painterly Prints].

Purple and aqua also rank high on my Get Happy Color List. And they make for a super classy but striking number on Gossip Girl’s Leighton Meester (who, I may add, looks like a cross between Alexis Bledel and Rachel Bilson).

This got me searching for more info and pictures on the fashionable Miss Meester because—whew, I may top the Uncool College Girls List for saying this—but no, I haven’t watched a single episode of Gossip Girl yet. Snippets, yes, but very short and very few.

But now that I’ve seen these pictures, I’m making sure I’ll be getting my own copy of Season 1 tomorrow!

Blake Lively a.k.a. ‘Serena Van Der Woodsen’

Not surprisingly, there have been a lot of features and even whole sites devoted to Gossip Girl style. Here are the best ones:
Gossip Girl Fashion
People.com’s Gossip Girl Style: On and Off Set
Gossip Girl Style: Dress Like Us, Be Like Us (Livejournal community)
10 Gossip Girl Style Essentials (LA Times)
Shop Style: Gossip Girl
Abigail Lorick Designs for Gossip Girl (Stylelist)
InStyle’s Get the Look: Gossip Girl

Well, theirs is a bank-breaking wardrobe, while my wallet is a space vaccuum. Besides, with the unforgiving tropical climate here, I would die from heatstroke if I wore most of what they wear on set.

But if anything else, I got some sort of vision about what I want to add to my blacks, whites, dark blues and greys. I can even envision outfits here on Polyvore (a must-try for any clothehorse) so I know exactly what I’ll be looking for when I hit the mall. When I’ll get money for shopping—that remains a big question.

XOXO
