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 🙂

Wearing vs styling an outfit with a bump! I feel so much better when I’m wearing something cute (dress well to feel well maybe?)… I’ve been fighting the temptation to wear comfy clothes while pregnant though! So far I have found blazers and cardigans an easy way to dress up my second trimester bump, especially as we enter fall.
Apple picking throughout the years 🍎 I can’t wait to go this year. It’s one of my favorite fall activities to do… I don’t even care that it’s usually expensive and crowded and basic, I live for it!
Fall for me means tailored blazers, touches of corduroy, and cozy sweaters… @jcrew, as always, has us covered with all the classics! Shop my head to toe look with @shop.ltk #liketkit https://liketk.it/4iOR7 #injcrew #ad
When @beaconhillbooksandcafe lives up to the hype and THEN SOME 🐿️ ✨ I got a little tour of this special bookstore from the owner herself and I couldn’t be more grateful. There is something magical about any bookshop, but when one is this thoughtful it’s hard not to fall in love with reading all over again. @sisterparishdesign textiles, @farrowandball coordinating paint, bestsellers & classics commingled on curated shelves. A little squirrel mascot named Paige, with her own story and her own entrance and her own little Boston-inspired house hidden away in the bottom of a shelf. Every detail is perfect, especially those on the children’s floor, where little ones can enter through a tiny door and press a big red button to activate a model train that circles the space.

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!
