Watching Gossip Girl can be a painful exercise. The fashion is fierce, but—let's be honest—most of the time it's ridiculously unaffordable. Our style sight is usually focused on Blair Waldorf, whose mixture of preppy staples and off-the-chain pieces from edgier designers is pretty inspirational. So imagine our delight when we saw Leighton Meester rocking a $25.20 I HEART Ronson floral print skirt while filming Gossip Girl this week in New York City. Mixed with a pastel patterned Erdem halter top and a color-coordinated Nancy Gonzalez croc bag, the only thing we don't love about this outfit is Leighton's glum expression. C'mon who doesn't love a cheap thrill!
I Heart Ronson Floral Skirt, $25.20, available at JCPenney and JCP.com in late July.
