To this day I mourn the end of the show Girlfriends. Heralded the "African American Sex and The City" by many, Girlfriends was a landmark show that depicted the lives of four successful and intelligent African American women in L.A. For 8 seasons we watched the trials and tribulations of these women as they dealt with romance, female bonding, career advancement, and familial drama. One of my favorite actors in the series was Tracee Ellis Ross who played Joan Clayton, a beautiful yet charmingly goofy lawyer turned restaurant owner searching for her soul mate. Throughout the series Ross' character's style evolved greatly and eventually established her as the fashionista of the show. Despite the end of the series, Tracee Ellis Ross' refreshing sense of style continues to lives on whether she's pairing a feminine floral dress with tough gladiator heels, channeling Prada Spring/Summer 2008, or looking elegant in a sleek body hugging strapless dress. Joan Clayton would definitely be proud.
