10 Party Dresses that Totally Give Us Blair and Serena Vibes
It may not be quite early enough to start singing holiday songs or compiling your gift wish list, but the party season has certainly begun and—spoiler—isn’t going to be over until New Year’s! Now, as fun as that sounds, it’s hard to keep up that party dressing stamina for nearly two months straight!
For fashion lovers, Gossip Girl ranks high in its wardrobe inspiration, among the likes of Sex and the City and The Devil Wears Prada. While Blair Waldorf and Serena van der Woodsen party-hopped their way through high school (and then some), we gave thanks to the constant rotation of everything from jeans and knee-high boots to party dresses and stiletto heels.
Lucky for us, we can relive all of the sartorial glory on Netflix. And, now that the holiday season has begun, we’re not ashamed to say we’ve definitely taken advantage of some binge-watching hours to draw inspiration for our own festive looks. Our favorites? You can find them below. Mini and maxi, these dresses will make deciding what to wear to every holiday party on your calendar just a little bit easier. And if you plan to spend most of the season in your pajamas at home, a little eye candy never hurt anyone!
