This recent outfit we spotted on Reese Witherspoon has us thinking about updated classics, and how little things like accessories can go a long way in upping your overall style quotient.

She starts with a black button-front cardigan and on-trend jeans, then adds some red print heels and a red lip for kick.

The pièce de résistance of our budget-friendly recreation is this Barrington 'St. Anne Tote' which we've seen touted by many a stylish fashion blogger. You get the upscale look and quality of of, say, Louis Vuitton, at a fraction of the price (just $145, and you can add a monogram for $5!). This is a bag you'll carry all the time which brings the cost-per-wear down, too. Much classier than anything faux!

We spent our Saturday doing quintessential fall activities on the most gorgeous autumn day imaginable, eating our way through a garlic festival then picking up apples and pumpkins at a local farm. It was the perfect chance for me to recreate a casual fall look from Pop of Style which I had pinned months ago, but never actually put together - until now! All you need is a black and white checked shirt, military or cargo style vest, and some colored leggings. Riding boots complete the look. I added a layering tee since I'm 33 weeks pregnant but don't let that deter you from trying this look. Just button up the check shirt and you're all set. Read on for my budget-friendly finds to help you get this casual fall look with pieces under $40, and head to Pop of Style to see the original inspiration photo!
