Blake Lively’s Style: “Gossip Girl” Gorgeous, Financially Friendly

Blake Lively

I literally begin salivating every time I see the characters’ wardrobes on Gossip Girl. With designer labels abound, Serena, Blair and the rest of Manhattan’s young elite are dressed to the nines in every single scene. In fact, it is almost strange for me to see Blake Lively dressed casually in real life, as she is in this photo, but hey, the girl still looks amazing. 

It is no secret that white is a must-have color for summer, especially for mini skirts that you can dress either up or down. Blake wears her with a button front shirt, which you can enjoy season after season. The Ralph Lauren Essential Striped Oxford Shirt I’ve select is priced at $85. Justification? If time has shown us that there are any garments that never go out of style, it is the button front shirt.

Complete the look with a summery white tote and flats. Whether you plan on spending the afternoon drinking a latte at a Brooklyn coffee shop or sipping Cosmos at one of Manhattan’s premiere lounges, now you are  ready to hit the big city.
