The Traveling Black Dress: Blair Waldorf Edition

Gossip Girl might not be on TV anymore, but that's no reason we can't continue to channel the look of Blair Waldorf, one of television's all-time great preppy style icons. Girls across the country were enamored with Blair and Serena's outfits as they went to school, parties and other assorted high-drama escapades. Inspired, I thought it was time to give my little black dress a bit of Park Avenue prep.
To get there, I added a soft white button-up blouse underneath and a babydoll sweater tunic on top—I love the china blue color of it.

I added lots of pearls, Chanel pearl earrings and a bow tie for that sophisticated yet youthful "Blair" look.

The Betsey Johnson cross-body bag adds a pop of color and a bit of quirkiness to the outfit.
