Fashion Inspiration: The Baby-Sitters Club

Image Credit: Scholastic

I don’t know about you, but I made my way through the majority of my childhood with a Baby-Sitters Club book in my hands. Reading about the lives and friendships of Kristy, Mary Anne, Claudia, and Stacey (AKA the original “fab 4”) was my awkward “Kids Bop” version of Sex and the City. There was drama, boy trouble and fun, but most importantly, there. was. fashion. 

The author, Ann M. Martin, meticulously described what the characters were wearing in all of the books, and each girl definitely had her own style. Here are four looks based on each of the original four Baby-Sitters Club members!

Mary Anne’s Makeover (#60)

We love your makeover too, Mary Anne. (LOL at the rest of the BSC throwing major shade.)

Mary Anne is the secretary of the club, and is known for her sweet, shy demeanor and Type-A organizational skills. In Mary Anne’s Makeover, she gets a sassy new haircut and wardrobe update, which includes floral leggings and an oversized pastel button-down shirt.

(Let’s also take a moment to appreciate her bold and fierce brows– slay, Mary Anne, slay.)

Stacey’s Ex-Boyfriend (#119)

What’s wrong with Robert? He’s probably realizing that he’s gonna have to step his game up in order to keep a dope fashionista like Stacey around. Get it together, Robert.

Stacey, the “boy crazy” treasurer, is from New York City and moved to the suburbs of Connecticut at the start of 7th grade. Her style was always very sophisticated and trendy, and she was often described as one of the best dressed students at Stoneybrook Middle School.
