Like almost anything else they can be made elegant and age appro with a good jacket and grown up accessories.

I'm now on disc 2 a week later and I'm addicted. Gossip Girl has not yet spawned the crack-fiend like addiction that Sex&theCity did when I finally got around to watching that, but it's running a close second.<br /><br />With that in mind I was delighted to see Taylor Momsen, the sugary sweet little sister on Gossip Girl, featured on <a href="http://www.garancedore.fr/en/">Garance Dore's blog</a> today looking like a little bitty Courtney Love.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_77RKu44YrnE/Si_Ea7QehjI/AAAAAAAAAto/AFK0ERxXcxM/s1600-h/taylor-momsen1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_77RKu44YrnE/Si_Ea7QehjI/AAAAAAAAAto/AFK0ERxXcxM/s400/taylor-momsen1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5345707249574512178" border="0" /></a>Clearly she is trying to steer away from her Upper East Side prep school look that she sports on screen.
