But Id be lying if I said this beloved series isnt teaching me anything: it definitely is.
It is perfectly OK to wear all of the colors together at the same time.
For some reason, Blair can wear bright green, yellow and blue together without looking insane.
Gossip Girl
However, it is NOT OK to wear every single pattern together in an outfit.
You hear that, Vanessa?
No hemline is too short for a wedding.
People who live in DUMBO are poor.
Never venture to out-scheme your rich, cool-and-calm mother.
(Seriously, I think Lily Bass is actually incredibly evil.)
It was also a safe, bland landing place for a safe, bland plotline featuring Hilary Duff.
People can change and surprise you.
(Georgina redeemed herself even after she convinced Dan that random baby was his for like five episodes.)
Its OK to wear your graduation tassel as a hair accessory, like Serena did.
Gold metallic wedding dresses are a surprisingly bold statement.
Champagne is appropriate at all times of day.
- you might sexually role-play Anna Karenina.
Even if you murder someone, its totally fine if youre rich and beautiful.
(Nates dad had to serve time because hes not beautiful, you see?)
But really, they do some bad shit that would have me running for the hills.
If my best friend pushed me in a fountain in Paris, Id be pretty pissed.
Things are never as bad as you think.
Valuable knowledge from noted drama queen Blair Waldorf.
Never settle for less than the best.
Although I do think Serena settled for stupid old Dan and shouldve chosen Nate.
The cleavage rhombus exists.
Remember the weird cutout dresses Serena always wore?
The costumer, Eric Daman, called those memorable gowns the cleavage rhombus.
People can break up and make up more than two times.
Everyone deserves one more chance.
(Have you ever listened to the Pretty Reckless?
Theyre a hell of a lot better than Lincoln Hawk.)
Bronze lipstick is for edgy girls like Jenny.
Its really easy to call in a favor from a famous person like Tim Gunn or Robyn.
Gossip Girl never dies.
