Six TV Characters with Wardrobes I’d Love to Steal

October 16, 2017 No Comments

There are TV characters and then their are fashionable TV characters. I love it when a TV character is just as well known for their wardrobe as they are for their character the portray on the show. What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of Carrie Bradshaw of Sex and the City? For me, it’s her enviable walk-in closet {can we say #closetgoals?}, with all those clothes and all those shoes. Same thing goes for Serena van der Woodson and Blair Waldorf of Gossip Girl. They both had different styles, and I guarantee everyone one […]
