Rufus Getting Married, 3 of 3 - all the rest

Chuck’s robe. Of course he has a robe like this. I’m just surprised it’s not satin.

 

When Chuck’s pants sit this high, it’s less “Gordon Gecko” and more “Larry King.” And where is his belt?

So much of Chuck’s wardrobe merits an “of course.” Of course he has a robe. Of course he has a purple suit. Of course he has an outfit specifically for giving massages. 

Back to a suit with matching pocket square. So much better than the suspenders.

I figured that the suspenders were his “casual wear,” and suits were his formal wear. Now, I’m just wondering if he has some sort of jacket aversion. 

So, Dan’s going through a big taupe phase. I’m not a fan. 

I’m also not a fan of his hair, which is starting to look like Kramer’s after all the showerheads were changed to low-flow. 

Love the tight jeans. And, to answer your question, yes, this is a totally different taupe shirt he’s wearing. 

I have no complaints about his suit here (except that he’s not wearing a belt, and it’s just getting weird. Where have all the belts gone??) In fact, if Dan could wear this sort of thing more often, I’d be wholly in support of it.

Nate, looking slick in a grey shirt at dim sum. Although, given how often he seems to talk about vampires and vampire movies these days, I’m starting to wonder if he’s keeping something from us. He knows vampires don’t ride on brooms, and he has Robert Pattinson’s hair. Do we know for sure Nate’s not a vampire? 

I’m not wild about the mis-matched jacket and pants. I’m even less pleased about the lack of a belt. 

The man of the hour, strutting into his loft after his fight with Lily. In the always-thrilling taupe.

I was hoping Lily and Rufus would work it out if for no other reason than that she’d make him get a haircut and make Jenny stop wearing horrible makeup. Seriously, Rufus is rocking some Swayze hair, and it’s not working. Unless he’s trying to look like he’s clinging to his youth, in which case, it’s perfect.

The day of his wedding, color-coordinated with his notepad.

Love the suit. But dear god, someone please either get this man a haircut or some styling gel. I mean, look at those bangs. Donald Trump has those bangs.

So glad to see Eric, even if he is wearing taupe. 

He looks sharp in his suit, though, and I’m sad we didn’t get more shots of him. Can we get an Eric web series or something? There is not enough of him. Maybe an Eric/Dorota spinoff. 

I love how the new mean girls are a little funkier now that they’re under the reign of Little J. 

Three of the four in animal print, with large heart pendant necklaces. 

And, of course, layered with a longer necklace. 

The daughter of investment bankers is sent away in a blur, but she has a fabulous bag that I wish I could have gotten a better shot of. 

Ugh. Bree. I’m on Blair’s side for this one. Do not like, will be glad to get rid of her. Here she is in a dress with some random sash and skin-toned lipstick. Because that’s a flattering look.

And wearing a low-cut floral maxi. What’s up with that, Bree? Don’t you know, only Serena is allowed to dress inappropriately for formal occasions? 

And the man she’s after, Carter. I blame him for Nate and Chuck’s lack of belts. 

No, really, what is up with his aversion to belts? Did he use all of them to settle his gambling debts? 

It’s so exciting to see Dorota in something other than her uniform. I love the giant hat.

Dorota-07, international woman of mystery. 

And of course Scott. Or, as I’ve taken to calling him, Oeyeliner Rex. Don’t care if it catches on, it amuses me. His clothes bore me almost as much as he does. 

The Lost Boy, 3 of 3 - all the rest

I actually think Vanessa's necklace is pretty ssssssssweet.  You know because it's a sssssssnake who ssssssslithers...I know, I'm a sucker for alliteration.  But it's not too often I pay V a compliment...

Vanessa looks positively verklempt in this photo.  Or, you know, wishing she could go back to 1987.  The side pony, the neon bracelet, the patterned pale pink top...it's all so fitting for a day at the mall for an '80s gal.

And oh, look, Vanessa fights the good fight against solid colors again:

 I'm definitely loving the gold necklace though.

Bree and Nate.  Hello busy pattern!  Hello cut not appropriate for daytime!  Hello frat boy polo for Nate!  Bree is clearly stunned by her poor choice in day dresses, especially while strolling next to the always nattily attired Nate.  I love a man in a polo (there I flew my white flag) but this seems a little less New York, a little too Big 12 school for N. Archibald.

In other highly inappropriate news, I'm as much into leggings as the next person, but really?  It's like YOU'RE WEARING NO PANTS GEORGINA.  What is the point of these scraps of fabric literally hanging by strings?  No wonder you and Serena used to be bffs, she never seemed to care for pants either...

This next look is much better. I'm loving this neckline on Georgina!  I see it more as Friday night fare for yours truly, but by day or bright light in New York City, every sidewalk is your catwalk...

And I know it's getting colder and all, and we're entering the time of year in if you're going to don a dress and leave your Hudsons at home, you have to a). cab it and/or b). get prepared to rock the black tights, but something about Georgina's pair just isn't sitting well with me.

Maybe it's the juxtaposition of the pink carpet in the background, but something about it feels a little too '80s to me, or (horror of all horrors) cheap.  Maybe it's because her tights are sheer instead of solid.  Clearly, I'm big on solids. But her hair looks fantastic, and I'm seriously lusting after that studded clutch.

 Georgina should stick to what she knows.  No leggings, no dresses, just tops with that certain je ne sais quoi. Here's her piece de resistance, from both the front and the back...Cheer up G! Even though Dan is putting up resistance to stocking up some more sock time with you, your fashion sense has come back in fighting form!

I know this episode is entitled The Lost Boy, but maybe it should include a caveat about a lost girl as well.  We saw Jenny for about 2.5 seconds last night (I timed it), but it was enough for her to make a serious style statement.  I get that the heart pattern is supposed to make the slim cut more saccharine, but come on.  Just like nothing got between Brooke and her Calvins...it's a little much for hanging out with Eric at the house, and like everything little J wears, a little unbelievable for someone who is still in high school, but I like it somehow...
