Apart from the controversial plot and the steamy twists of this teen series, we love Gossip Girl for, what else? the clothes of course.

Unfortunately, a single (head-to-foot) look from the show is going to cost you your entire college fund. Portraying millionaire and billionaire upper eastsiders, naturally every last bit of clothing and accessory worn by each character is a designer piece.

Fortunately, there’s always a way to get the look without costing you an arm and a leg.
