When I think of styles that I admire, I tend to answer with people who’s styles are very polished and a little bit over the top. It’s true that I love the way Blair Eadie accessorizes and mixes prints and I love the way Olivia Palermo always looks chic and layered.
But I know I could never pull it off. And even if I did somehow figure out how to put an outfit like that together I would not feel like myself and I would not feel comfortable.
I’m 100% guilty of searching around the internet (thank you Tumblr, Google, and Pinterest) for outfit inspiration. I have my daily uniforms– I wear this at least three times a week and alternate with cable knit sweaters and jeans– and they’re all pretty simple and basic. I don’t like to overdo it.
And there’s a celebrity who is a pro at looking chic without going over the top… Reese Witherspoon!
Some Reese “we can do this, too” outfit inspiration:
I never really considered Reese Witherspoon to have amazing style because she kind of goes under the radar but I hands down love all these photos! The floral dress and the white two piece set are both gorgeous! Thanks so much for sharing Reese's style… I have some new celeb stalking to do 🙂
I love this! I totally feel the whole looking to people who are really fashionable for inspiration, only to find that you can't pull off the look yourself. I never really considered choosing a style icon that dresses a little more "average," per se. Thanks for sharing these photos! Reese really pulls off some great looks!
I love Reese Witherspoon's style she's so classic and girly! I always look up her outfits when I can't think of anything to wear! Alyson | mylifeasalyson.blogspot.com
I LOVE Reese's style! She is hands down my favorite celebrity to follow on instagram because of her effortless style and constant inspiration (with some funny posts thrown in too!) Great picks Carly! 🙂
I love this post! Reese Witherspoon is one of my favorite fashion idols… I just love her. I even wrote a post about this a few months ago, ha! I love how you added links to get her looks, so fun!
This is so great because many of us have items in our closet just like those, so her style is really chic but manageable (for students like me). Makes me like her even more! 😀
Loved reading this post and all the great outfit inspiration! Reese always looks so classic and polished, definitely a style icon of mine. She has a great knack for putting together ensembles that always look wearable and classic. Thanks for sharing 🙂
I created a beautiful, custom silk photo album from @printique_by_adorama to remember my sweet dog Hamilton, who passed away earlier this year. Their layflat album captured the colors and details perfectly, making each photo feel so special. It’s a keepsake I’ll cherish forever, and I’m so grateful for the quality and love they put into every page. #printiquepartner
… and yet you must. This week has been the hardest yet. Pressure from work, pressure from myself, pressure from the world. The magnitude of reality feels too much and too heavy. Showing up for my children though when I can barely show up for myself.
We’ve noticed an improvement in Teddy’s vitality and digestion since switching to @primalpetfoods Kibble in the Raw! It’s the easiest way to give him the benefits of raw nutrition without losing the convenience of dry kibble since it’s freeze dried into bites and completely scoopable. You would never guess he’s 11 years old with these moves at the park! #primalpetfoodspartner #ad
In that final home stretch of 2024 and waffling between wanting to plan out every second of my day/week/month and needing to also just fly by the seat of my pants. Holding on for dear life and telling myself to just enjoy the ride 🤪
When the boys go down for bed, sometimes it feels akin to crossing the finish line of a marathon! With my @therabody Theragun Sense, now I’m able to unwind and relax from the #WorkoutCalledLife. With step-by-step prompts on an LCD screen (and accompanying app), the Theragun Sense guides you through different recoveries depending on what your goals are. Tonight, I’m prepping for restful sleep with a six-minute guided massage! #TherabodyPartner
Halloween 2024 was one for the memory books 🏈 Rory’s first Halloween!! Jack had a blast, Rory loved tagging along, and Mike and I couldn’t stop smiling 🤍 I don’t know how many years I’ll be able to convince the boys to coordinate their costumes so really taking advantage- I bought Jack’s football player costume (customized!) and sewed Rory’s football bubble myself (Jack asked if he could throw him, which was a resounding and firm, “no.”). Now time to raid Jack’s stash 😛
#AveenoPartner If your little one has eczema prone skin, try switching to @aveenous’s Baby Daily Care Wash during bath time to cleanse without drying out their skin. We also use Aveeno Baby Eczema Therapy Nighttime Moisturizing Body Balm before bed to intensely moisturize and help protect Rory’s skin from moisture loss! Not only does his skin feel and look healthier, he’s so much more comfortable too! You can buy both of these products today on Amazon!

She has always been one of my favorites. I love her classic style!
Love this! So often, we link fashion inspiration with the icons that don't necessarily have a relatable wardrobe. This was a great little reminder!
Yes, love her effortless chic casual style! Also love that she's a mom of three like me 🙂

Her style is definitely fabulous. These looks are very approachable and easy to recreate!
I have loved Reese since her appearance in Sweet Home Alabama, one of the things I love most about her is how relate-able she looks!
