It’s Blake Lively again for you today! The golden girl was spotted fashioning a flowy mini while filming another round of scenes for Gossip Girl last week; quite the opposite from the long pieces we saw her wear from previous sightings, but definitely much more stunning. It was a pleated number in neutral gray with raw edges on the hem, and it fluttered and floated beautifully as she walked for the camera:

Such a gorgeous young lady, right? And don’t you just love the way they styled her? The print (floral skirt) on print (striped top) combination looks perfectly done and we love how they added pops of color into her look via a coral cropped blazer, turquoise accessories, and a bright green purse.

Now since we’re all about skirts here, what do you think of Blake’s short pleated number? Dreamy, isn’t? The unfinished hem gave it a soft, feather like appearance making it look extra delicate as it created a balance with her structured topper:

According to sources, Blake’s skirt is by Porter Grey. If you like it, the one store where you can find Porter Grey pieces would be Shopbop. The skirt however, isn’t available there, nor can it be found elsewhere online so you will need to do a little more digging to get your hands on it. That said, Porter Grey is an expensive brand so expect to shell out at least USD400 on the skirt alone. Just to give you an idea, below is a Porter Grey pleated maxi currently on sale at Shopbop. As you can see, it retailed for almost USD600 before they brought it down to USD416, a sale amount that is still quite pricey:

Because we couldn’t find a less expensive version of Blake’s Porter Grey skirt, we decided to give you this romantic piece from MANGO instead. It is made of lace and features a scalloped hem; AND dare we say, it is just as dreamy. You can find this MANGO skirt at Amazon, grabbing one will cost you an affordable USD34 (was USD70):
