"Have all of your pretty party dresses been banished to the back of your closet because you&amp;#x27;ve got nowhere to wear them? Keep reading for an easy, affordable way to make them daytime-appropriate, courtesy of the wardrobe geniuses from Gossip Girl... When our favorite steamy soap opera ended last season, Blair and Serena were en route to Paris for a little R&amp;amp;R. They&amp;#x27;ve been filming in the City of Light this summer, and they were on set this weekend looking to die for as ever--Leighton Meester&amp;#x27;s character was wearing a Moschino dress with bold clashing patterns and an uber-French knit cap, but it was Blake Lively&amp;#x27;s look that really caught my eye. Does that Georges Chakra dress look familiar? Jennifer Lopez wore it to the US Weekly Hot Hollywood party back in April, but you&amp;#x27;d barely know it&amp;#x27;s the same frock! The Gossip Girl stylists took it from red carpet glitz to totally-appropriate-for-daylight-hours (if you&amp;#x27;re a fashion-forward kind of girl, that is!) by adding a few key pieces.

We&amp;#x27;ve been loving these for a while now--they&amp;#x27;re so masculine, anything you pair them with will suddenly look much more &amp;quot;What, this old thing?&amp;quot; I&amp;#x27;m loving the contrast between these menswear-inspired elements and a frilly pink sequined dress, aren&amp;#x27;t you?
