"AnneMarie writes to us, &amp;quot;I just transfered to a Catholic high school where I have to wear a uniform every day, and it&amp;#x27;s stifling my personal style! How can I stick with the dress code (it&amp;#x27;s a gray pleated skirt with a maroon sweater and a white blouse) but still look cool?&amp;quot; We&amp;#x27;ve got plenty of great ideas, after the jump! You may not have as much flexibility to be fabulous as Blair Waldorf did in her Constance Billiard days, but you can still take a few cues from the Gossip Girl! Consider accessories your new best friend, and your best chance at expressing your personal style without Sister Mary Frances getting her panties in a bunch. Let&amp;#x27;s start from the top and work our way down--hair accessories are always a smart (and conservative!) choice, and you can do anything from a preppy headband a la Blair to a set of sparkly clips with a slightly more youthful feel: More Forever 21... Sign up for our style newsletter and get the best of our fashion blog, delivered straight to your inbox! I&amp;#x27;d suggest only wearing one major statement around your face at a time, so opt out of the hair accessories on a day when you feel like switching things up for more bling--and add a great statement necklace or oversize earrings: More Swell... If you&amp;#x27;re not into the statement necklace thing, try out a scarf--you can tie it around your neck, Boy Scout-style, or wear it a million other ways (as a belt, a bracelet, a headband, even just looped onto your handbag for an extra bit of &amp;quot;zhuze&amp;quot;): More Talbots... And when it comes to your legs, don&amp;#x27;t let them be bored in black tights this fall! Patterned and textured hosiery is big news this season, and it&amp;#x27;ll look even chicer when accentuated with attention-getting ankle boots or a pair of flashy flats: More Forever 21... We hope that helps, AnneMarie! And when you&amp;#x27;re in doubt and feeling like you can&amp;#x27;t express yourself, turn to the patron saint of stylish private schoolers, Blair Waldorf, for inspiration! Do any of you have to wear a uniform? How do you keep chic without breaking the rules? Share! And don&amp;#x27;t forget...we&amp;#x27;re here to help!
