It has been a glorious year of teen nostalgia - from Mean Girls Day celebrations on October 3 to Ariana Grande's Thank u, Next music video to Blake Lively's most recent Instagram post referencing her Gossip Girl character, Serena van der Woodsen.

We're here for all of it.

Plus, Gossip Girl's regular spot on Netflix's trending list is proof that this 2007 - 2012 teen drama is proof that this is one of the most impactful TV shows of our generation. 

What I mean by impactful is that much like Mean Girls, Bring it On, Girlfriends, and even Keeping Up with the Kardashians, there are multiple references almost everyone can throw into conversation and it's understood without explanation. Sometimes this also means that there are iconic characters that even people who haven't watched know. 

The fact that so many of us who are now in our 20s or 30s are rewatching GG on Netflix in marathon sessions at a time further solidifies this fact.

In one of eight things listed by Odyssey that made GG so amazing is the glamour it served consistently episode after episode, season after season. 

The parties, the gala dinners and runway shows all gave us a fascinating array of spangled gowns and red-bottomed stompers... even in broad daylight.

Sounds too over the top?

Well, to paraphrase Gossip Girl, "Some may call that [OTT], but on the Upper East Side, we call it Sunday afternoon tea."

So listen up, Upper East Siders, we heard Blair, Serena and co are all taking the designer-draped skeletons in their closet out for one last soireé this party season. And we're coming with.
