Somewhere around the age of 21 when Gossip Girl was still in its first couple of seasons and Blair Waldorf still ruled the Met steps, I decided when I moved to New York the following Summer I would have to live on the Upper East Side. Of course, the legends of Holly Golightly and Carrie Bradshaw had come before her, but it was Blair in her perfectly crisp dresses and well suited accessories that sealed the deal. These days, I’ve traded uptown for downtown and my style has considerably evolved. But over the weekend when I joined my best friend for an afternoon browsing the latest exhibits at the Met, I fell right back into old habits with this eyelet front shift dress, coordinating daisy cuff and perfectly pastel accessories. She arrived wearing a backless, floaty maxi dress and casually slung Marc Jacobs bag.. still the Serena to my Blair. p.s. If you love this dress as much as I do, you’re in luck.
