Rant of the Week: Serena's clothing on "Gossip Girl"

I'm not gonna lie; Gossip Girl is one of my (okay, many) TV guilty pleasures. Sure, it's cheesy and immature and not very plausible most of the time, but I love watching it for some Blair and Chuck feistiness. Plus, the fashion is super swoon-worthy.

However, that being said, I cannot stand Serena's (Blake Lively) wardrobe. Ever since season two, they started dressing her in all of these suuuuuper low cut outfits. It's like the girl sprouted boobs overnight in my mind (and she very well may have). And, as much as I love boobs as the next person, I just can't condone that much cleavage on a daily basis.


Case in point: Serena wore this lovely low cut blouse to a COLLEGE INTERVIEW. What was homegirl thinking? Fine, her boots and blazer are pretty ferosh.

Then, there's this season.


Serena wore this slutty dress to her mother's wedding. Class act.


This dress was worn in the episode where Chuck opens up his speakeasy called Gimlet. Everyone comes decked in their Roaring '20s finest. Serena must have forgotten that flappers played down their cleavage.

And, my favorite look of the season: Serena's outfit for a political event.



There was a call girl dressed more demurely than Serena at this event. I frankly just do not get it. Everyone else on the show dresses so appropriately with outfits I covet on a weekly basis, yet Lively's character dresses so whore-y. And, it makes me like Lively even less when she says that she owns half of Serena's wardrobe. Unless she's talking about the shoes, which I can firmly get behind.
