Look for Less: Blair Waldorf

I usually favor Serena’s wardrobe choices (or the choices made for her character by stylist Eric Deman) on Gossip Girl, but when I saw Queen B in this adorable get up she was my preferred Upper East Sider!

I love her dress and while I’m pretty sure it’s an expensive designer frock, you can achieve the same look by pairing a high-waisted pencil skirt with a slim floral tank like the one I found here.  It mimics the look of a one-piece dress but since they’re separates, you can also mix and match the individual pieces with other items in your wardrobe to get the most mileage and value from your purchases.

I also love her choice of ultra ladylike accessories, like her quilted bag and signature headband, but what I like most is how she manages to make those classic pearls look totally hip and modern by going for a gumball sized, ultra-long strand instead of your more traditional pearl necklace.  The red tights kind of throw me for a loop and it’s not something I would choose, especially now that it’s getting warmer, but I threw them in there just in case you want to try out this shade of legwear!
