Reese Witherspoon's plaid shirt and cargo jacket look for less

Spring can't seem to make up its mind (cold and rainy one day, sweet and sunny the next), which is why Reese Witherspoon's plaid shirt and cargo jacket look is so appealing. I'm loving the light layers and lightened up color palette, from the medium wash denim to gray ankle boots and those gorgeous cognac extras. Even her blush pink sunglasses seem to say, spring is here!

Khloe Kardashian is Shades of Grey Sexy - Shop Her Look for Less


Khloe Kardashian's celebrity look for less

At first glance, Khloe Kardashian's spring look of varying shades of grey looks deceptively simple, but recreating this look on a budget was trickier than anticipated. First, there's her gorgeous flowy modern trench in a soft shade of grey (or possibly white, it's tough to tell from the photo). Then, there's her skinny cropped ankle jeans with a touch of distressing. And finally, those luxe grey accessories, from her satchel to suede pumps. Fortunately, I found a beautiful coat that could become your go-to spring outerwear for work or the weekend from Mango, and an almost perfect match for Khloe's shoes at Sole Society (these will become staples in your wardrobe, trust me!) Shades of grey that are far from boring, that's the style lesson gleaned today.
