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'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 🙂
We came, we saw elephants, we ate ice cream 🐘🦒🦓 @ashleybrooke and I always talk about how we became FAST friends. Somehow we have been right there with each other during some of life’s worst moments… so it’s extra sweet that we now get to celebrate the good ones! Watching our boys play together, a little baby in a stroller, and another baby on the way… it’s everything we dreamed of.
Somehow yesterday felt like a week, last month was last year, and last year was a decade ago… but then time is simultaneously going by so fast too. The past ten weeks have gone by in a blink! Everyone warns you it goes by fast and they’re not wrong…. The days are long but oh how I wish time would slow down a bit? Or that maybe I could bottle up a tiny bit of these precious boys at every stage so I could revisit them down the road 🤍
I have grown to LOVE baby wearing. Not only do I think it’s such a nice and cozy way to bond with baby, it’s also incredibly practical, especially when you have a toddler to keep up with too! The @wildbird aerial carrier was a treat for myself- and I’m so obsessed with it. 👶🏼 Leave a comment “wildbird” and I’ll DM you the color I have as well as my personal review of it (including some troubleshooting tips).
Some top level things I like; - it’s easy to put on! - it’s so, so comfortable (for me AND baby!) - the little flap is seamless and provides extra support while baby naps and privacy when we need/want it
This affordable rechargeable LED lamp is cute and then made even cuter with this wicker lampshade! 💡✨ No cords needed- just charge and place wherever you want. (Will be extra perfect for dining outdoors this summer!) 💫 Comment “lamp” and I’ll send you links to the LED lamp ($38 for a pair!) and the lampshade (available in a few styles- including a darling blue).
Not really in the mood to be in photos right now, but I keep telling myself I’ll want to look back on these moments and remember them. (Right?!) when I look at these photos in 10, 20, 30 years…
I hope I remember Jack “rescuing” Rory from a windy tent, not how I stood in front of my closet with tears in my eyes.
I hope I remember watching Jack roll down hills and play hop scotch and scoot down the sidewalk with his besties, not that I caught a glimpse of my reflection and didn’t recognize myself.
I hope I remember sitting outside with my friend happily watching our kids play (while watching the minutes until bedtime tick by), and not that I spent too much time zooming in and examining every new wrinkle on my face.
I hope I remember the pure joy of these early warm days with my little family whom I love so much 🤍
The weather is warming up and I’m feeling slightly more comfortable in my skin every day ☀️ Here’s what I wore last week as a mom of two. I have a two and a half year old toddler and a two month old so I need outfits I feel good in, can chase a little guy around in, AND that I can breastfeed easily while wearing. 🔗 Leave a comment with “OUTFITS” to get links to every outfit I wore!
This room is so very special 🤍 The little cars sprinkled everywhere (watch your step!). A tiny sock, never two, peeled off and tucked somewhere hidden away. Piles of books that grow almost as quickly as the little boy who sleeps here. Outgrown pants and shoes to grow into mingling in the closet. Often messy, and a little cluttered, but a little boy lives here. 🚘☀️🐶📚🧸
(Rory is still in our room, but eventually the boys will share. I can picture their little twin beds already!)
About ten days ago, I noticed that today’s forecast was looking WARM. I told Mike, “We’re walking into town and sitting outside and I’m getting a beer. Put it on your calendar.” It ended up being warmer than forecasted (almost eighty degrees!) and let me tell you, it delivered. Today felt like the beginning of The Season™: dinners al fresco, beers/fries/ice creams, and late bedtimes. Indulging in it all because the kids are only getting older and we’re the grownups (somehow) and we get to make the rules ✌🏻

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!
