Closets & Couture: Girl Crush

Yes, I have a crush on a girl. Not the kind that would cause you to raise an eyebrow, but an innocent celebrity crush. Her name is Reese Witherspoon, and I think she is fantastic. Her breakout movie, Man on the Moon, was one of my favorites and I think I've seen almost every movie she has made since then. I feel like I've known her for years. I teared up when she and Ryan split, hoped her and Jake would tie the knot, teared up again when they split, and am finally at peace with her recent marriage to whatever that guy's name is. I'm the stalker best friend she doesn't know she has - sad, huh?

Moving past her professional and personal life, I absolutely love her style. She is effortless and pulled together. Whether walking the red carpet or grabbing a bite to eat while being stalked by the paparazzi, she always looks fabulous. Below are a few examples of her "mom on the go' looks that any of us with or without children can definitely pull off.

And here is how to do it.

Outfit #1

In some parts of the country, it is still warm. Today in Middle, TN, it is 75 degrees outside so wearing a dress with bare legs is possible. You can take or leave the hat. Women either love them or hate them. Go for it if you are one of the daring few. It can hide a bad hair day or even a bad dye job.

Outfit #2

Stripes are a great way to throw a punch of color in an outfit. Buy one in your favorite color and pair with denim.

Outfit #3

Who said dresses are for church? They are quite comfortable even in colder temps. Just throw on a pair of leggings or tights and away you go.

Outfit #4

Basic black is easy and fashionable. Update it with pops of camel. YES, you can mix browns and blacks together.

Outfit #5

I used to be one of those that said "hell no" with denim on denim. It can look cute, just make sure to not be too "matchy matchy" or you'll look silly. If you're not a fan, then wear another colored outwear piece to break it up.
