For the last and final part in College Fashion’s Gossip Girl Fashion series, I’m going to break down Jenny Humphrey’s style, and show you how you can easily dress like Jenny.

Jenny, played by actress Taylor Momsen, is the youngest main character on Gossip Girl. She’s the younger sister of the character Dan Humphrey, who was dating Serena van der Woodsen for most of GG’s first season.

Jenny lives in Brooklyn, and hates that she doesn’t have lots of money like the other girls at Constance Billiard School for Girls. Fortunately, Jenny has an eye for fashion and skills with a sewing machine. She’s the ultimate “look for less” girl, and that’s what makes her style so fab to talk about here!

Jenny’s Style

As a high school freshman trying to fit in with uber-rich and fashionable juniors, Jenny’s style is very trend-conscious, yet still affordable. If Little J. can’t buy a designer gown for one of the exclusive parties, you can bet that she’ll show up in a gorgeous replica that she made herself. She’s all about finding designer knockoffs or creating them herself. She’d never wear anything vintage or “last season.”

If you want to dress like Jenny, take note of the latest fashion trends, and if you can’t afford a designer piece, make it yourself, or look for a similar item in a discount store. You also may want to pick up some of Jenny’s own wardrobe must-haves.

Bright Colors

Like Serena and Blair, Jenny loves to mix bright pops of color into all of her outfits. Brights were a huge trend this season, and Jenny took notice. Yellow was Jenny’s favorite color this season – from the yellow dress that she wore to __ party, to the yellow trench that she wore on a date with her new boyfriend Asher, she rocked it in nearly every episode. Purple was also big in Jenny’s wardrobe, in the form of purple tights and a purple Valentino purse (middle photo above).
