Ah, the Thanksgiving episode – always an exciting one on the Upper East Side, no? So although Thanksgiving was actually last week, I’ll make a list of things Gossip Girl characters should be thankful for this year.
Blair – be thankful that your wardrobe is pretty much impeccable (even this episode’s plaid extravaganza can pass for festive around the holidays). And also, be thankful you have the most amazing maid on the face of the planet. I could use more Dorota.
Serena – be thankful that you kept all major body parts mostly covered this episode. Be especially thankful for that adorable slouchy sweater (a must for all fugitives from rehab!)
Vanessa – be thankful that your plaid skirt can pass for festive, even though your southwestern coat was a disaster.
Chuck – be thankful that you can pull off an amazing plaid suit like that. Ah, Europeans. They just have something we don’t.
Jenny – be thankful you’re headed back to Hudson. Maybe there you will learn the proper application of eyeliner.
Juliet – be thankful that you’re fleeing the UES, because maybe now you can wear some comfortable clothes. I mean, who honestly lounges around their apartment in a backless dress?
Dan and Nate – be thankful that your mothers (both real and step) have such great taste in coats. Camel coats are big this season, and these ladies really rocked some very nice outerwear.
And finally, I personally am thankful that next week it looks like the characters wear more than one outfit – more material for me!
