- I feel like I'm about to walk into a board meeting
and ruin somebody's day, but like in a productive, sexy way.
(upbeat music)
- Is giving me flight attendant, here are your pretzels.
- I was obsessed with Gossip Girl.
And of course we all know blazers
are an integral part of Gossip Girl.
I plan on living out my Blair Waldorf fantasy.
- It's fancy.
Definitely don't have enough blazers, but it's like,
you know, it's like leather jackets.
You can always use more.
- It's a blazer.
She's giving me big button.
- I really love blazers.
Has some shoulder pads.
I'm probably gonna be taking those out.
- What do we have here?
A blazer.
And it is stretchy.
So I like that.
- I love that any person of any gender presentation
can wear a blazer and just feel really good
and put together about it.
- I never wear blazers.
I feel like blazers feel too corporate and stuffy.
- I do love a good blazer,
but typically blazers that I would wear
don't have shoulder pads in them.
You know what?
We're gonna make it work.
- Not super boxy.
And it looks like it's something
a little bit more quite fitted.
- It's got a very sassy polka dot lining,
but as far as how I'm gonna style the cut of it,
that could be a challenge for me.
- I would say that any of the blazers
that I've ever worn are cropped.
I prefer a cropped blazer.
Okay, well it fits, so that's good.
Business professional.
Do you see that shape?
Ooh. Ah, yes.
I'm currently living out of a suitcase.
This is what I'm working with.
This is giving very like nautical and Massachusetts.
Let's go to the yacht club.
(boat horn blowing)
I'm gonna safety pin the blazer.
see if it could be cropped.
I'm gonna cut it.
This could go well or it could go poorly.
Here we go.
The moment of truth.
I mean, come on.
Cropped blazer.
- I wanted to just throw on the blazer.
It just feels very professional.
I feel like I'm going on a job interview
and I want to make this more casual.
So, this is my first outfit option.
I'm just not feeling this bralette with the biker shorts.
Like this is just way too booby-licius for me.
(beep)
This is my second option.
I already liked this way more.
It just feels more like me.
I don't know if this all goes together.
I think we are getting very close.
I wanted to throw a wild card out there
and belt this blazer.
I also went ahead and put it a little tube top underneath.
I don't love the denim shorts with this particular combo.
I'm a little torn.
I'm not sure I should take the elements
of outfit two or outfit three.
I think I know what I'm gonna do.
Ooh stay tuned.
- Oh, I like this fit so much
and uh, the shoulders just so crisp.
Like look at that.
Ooh, if I cuff them though.
We got this showing, so I kind of liked that idea as well,
especially 'cause where I'm at is very warm right now.
I was wearing this black shirt,
which doubles as a dress for me personally.
And I placed over this chain-like harness,
that kind of looks like rib cages.
I'm not sure how I feel about this midnight blue
against the black.
I really like the outfit underneath,
but I just don't know how I feel
about this color combination.
So, I'm not gonna lie, I was a little nervous about this.
It kind of makes me feel like a Yakuza boss.
I'm not sure how I feel about like the pairing
of the black pleather skirt,
but I really liked the top portion of this.
I'm in love.
- I don't love it.
I'm not gonna lie.
My build and shoulder pads just don't look good together.
As you can see, I'm a bit of a suit gal.
So when I see pieces like blazers,
I automatically think you know, business,
but since I don't have pants to go along with these,
I kind of want to do a more casual look.
I could definitely see myself making this kind of like
a denim moment where I wear just like denim
and like a white crop top.
And then just some chunky jewelry.
- I paired the blazer with this really cute skirt
that I thrifted a few years ago.
And this top.
I like the mix of the pattern.
I like this, but it feels a little
like I'm wearing a uniform.
I want to do something a little bit more fun with it.
This is a second option that I'm trying on.
I paired it with these silk mint green shorts.
It's a little bit more casual,
but also I could wear it dressed up
a little bit more as well.
Okay, this is a total no, but you know, I tried,
I feel very like I'm going to church.
I'm also debating cropping it.
I'm not a professional seamstress.
I know these are not gonna be perfect.
And I'm okay with that.
- Oh wow, that fits me really well.
This is so not it.
These pants are not, I just, I don't know.
I just wanted to try.
It's a disaster.
Let's try something else.
Okay, hear me out.
I don't hate it.
I like the idea of long sleeves up top,
showing leg on the bottom.
I do think these shorts are too long.
So let's see what it would look like with a shorter short.
See, even that is slightly better.
This is a step closer in the right direction,
but it's not quite it.
I think I know what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna go finish my makeup and show you the final look.
- I'm determined to make this work.
I'm looking for something that's really bright.
And the first thing that caught my eye is probably this top.
I wish something like this would work except it's too flowy.
Here is my first outfit.
Here's the blazer.
As you can tell, I added a belt.
And I also really like a popped collar for this look.
I really like the sharp corners.
This is definitely a look.
In theory, this looked good in my head.
I'm not really sure it's working for me now.
I don't really know what it is.
It's a little bit like extra.
Yeah, not really feeling this one.
- I'm not a fan.
I wish it was a different color.
I'm gonna find a way to pull this off.
I'm in my closet.
I have a bunch of suits.
So worst comes to worse,
I can put the navy with some of these suits.
I pulled this little romper jumpsuit thing that I have.
Absolutely not, not the vibe.
I tried another outfit.
No, no, no.
(beep)
This ain't it.
I look like a bad blueberry.
(beep)
I'm trying to channel like that New York
young professional street style thing.
Not sure if it's gonna come off that way,
but know that your girl tried.
- So, this is one of my options.
The hounds tooth is giving bougie.
It's giving luxury.
I am really surprised this came out so cute.
It's still too business professional.
I offer consulting services, too much of that
for what I would normally wear.
You know how like people wear like turtlenecks and blazers
and it's like such a vibe, it's professional.
Like I might be a therapist.
I'm giving glam intellectual here.
This is a contender.
Like this is giving.
This compliments each other color-wise
but still doesn't really feel like me.
I think I need to do a little bit more
before I give my final look.
I had to DIY it.
These are paperclips,
but are they not the coolest paperclips ever.
I'm gonna paint this in some sort of pattern.
- Let's try this on.
Bob, James Bob.
Could I get any more GQ?
Fits these navy slacks I had without a matching top.
That's perfect.
Oh, and it has an inside pocket.
Are you ready for this?
Decided to get funky with it.
I grabbed this biker tank,
these up-cycled shorts that I made of shirts.
It's comfy.
'Cause it's really just t-shirts
and then this awesome blazer.
Once again, getting kind of weird here.
Moto cross pants on with this button up.
For my next act, the white tee, white pants.
I feel like this is a great going out to dinner outfit.
Take my girl out like this.
Let's go get some shrimp.
- [Bee] In the end, I decided
to pair the midnight blue blazer
with the white floral button up, Navy blue joggers
and a white pair of loafer-type shoes.
I love the mixture of feminine associated prints
with a masculine associated outfit
and just the blend of it all makes me feel so pretty.
- [Melba] For the final look,
I decided to crop the sleeve of the blazer.
I paired it with some mint green silk shorts
that I found at a thrift store
and a matching mint green bra.
And my bag that is made out of pitate
which is a traditional form
of weaving Palm fronds together.
And I really, really love the way that it turned out.
- [Vivian] I paired my painted blazer
with this hot pink corset top,
this really cool red and gold flowy pants.
And I put on chunky brown heels.
I will definitely get some ear out of this blazer now.
- What I ended up coming up with
is actually this more casual look.
I just paired these sweatpants
that are just cozy little joggers
with this black bralette by Free People.
And then I just paired it with this chunky silver necklace.
It's casual but still looks sophisticated.
- [Megan] I paired the blazer with a white crop top,
black denim shorts, chunky heeled booties,
and a dark blue neckerchief.
I'm like a sexy flight attendant, business woman, cow girl.
This outfit has so many possibilities.
- [Yiwa] I decided on the neon green mesh top.
I paired it with black velvet pants, a gold belt,
and also gold hoops.
I think it's the perfect blend of sexy and sophisticated.
- [Spenser] I'm really happy that I decided
to crop the blazer.
I paired it with some blue wide leg distressed jeans
and the white corset top.
And honestly, I can't wait to wear this out.
- [Tamerra] For my final look,
I actually combined elements of my outfit two
and my outfit three looks.
I loved how the blazer looked with the tan top
and the black and gold belt.
And they happened to match perfectly
with my snakeskin shorts.
And the full look just totally gives me life.
- [Bobby] For my final look,
I went with a Rolling Stones t-shirt,
red polyester '70s pants, and the blazer.
Not a bad book.
- [Jazzmyne] I decided at the very last minute
to throw on a blue collared shirt,
and then I have a vest that honestly
is like the color of my hair, some biker shorts,
and I put on some gold earrings and some sunglasses
and it became Gossip Girl 2021 real quick.
I love this look.
