It’s far too often we an outfit solely of sweats among airport-goers, do you agree? I’m all for comfort, which is why I’d suggest leggings and a cozy scarf… Another post, another time. At any rate, Blair clearly didn’t have those options at-hand, so she made the best of a (very) bad situation. You can, too, next time you snooze too long or that closet crisis strikes — just toss on a sleek city T and skinnies.

Given tonight’s events, there’s a lot of outfit carry-over from last week’s wedding shenanigans. I try to keep these posts relative to the current week, but I belatedly found two deals from The 100th too good not to share. I’m looking at you, comfort-lovers and brides-to-be — bookmark these shopportunities!
