Roundtable: Blair Waldorf's Big Pants
Sunday, September 4, 2011 at 10:20AM | Jen - YKYLF Editor-in-Chief 
Amanda: Oh my god, you guys. This season of GG already holds so much promise...for snark.
Lesley-Anne: Gah! It burns my eyes! (I could maybe work with the pants...maybe...if she wasn't pairing them with a top I'd wear to bed and hooker heels).
Amanda: They remind me of the pants that ate Paris from last season's premiere.
Steph: I guess every season premiere must include wide-legged, high-waisted pants. Must be some sort of quota.
L-A: The pants that ate Paris still give me bad dreams. I thought nothing could look that unflattering on Leighton. Clearly I was wrong.
Jen: Are we looking at Leighton or Blair?
Kate: I'm thinking it's Ms Meester, because there's no way in hell Dorota would allow Mees Blair to leave the house like that.
Amanda: No, I think it is Mees Blair. There's a giant engagement ring, plus the bow on her purse exactly matches her pants. I need to maybe get a hobby, huh?
Jen: So, has living with Prince & Company become so arduous that Blair had the style beaten out of her?
L-A: Prince Louis is as dull as dishwater, maybe it's rubbing off on her and any zest for life/fashion Blair once had.
Ann: I would wear those pants, but that's not a good thing. Usually what Blair wears, I think, "I'd wear that... if I weighed 90 pounds and had a professional stylist." But those pants? I'd throw on for a trip to the grocery store
Steph: With a windbreaker.
Ann: And pray no one sees me.
Kate: sigh Oh, Blair. Let's hope this is a temporary hiccup.

I watched this scene and was horrified particularly with the stretch top. Is she wearing a bra? I also wonder about the way this top is cut in a strange place not quite low or high enough. Regarding the pants. If they were cut in a way that was straight from the butt and down with a small cuff teamed up with a crisp white cotton short sleeve shirt with a bow detail under the neck. this look would have been better. Generally speaking I don't associate Blair Waldorf with pants.
