Throwback Thursday: Cameron Diaz's Plaid Shirt and Blazer Look for Less

Cameron Diaz looks polished and put together in a tan blazer, plaid shirt, skinny jeans and ankle boots.
For today's Throwback Thursday look, I went back to the start of 2014 when Cameron Diaz made an appearance on Good Morning America to promote her book 'The Body Book' wearing a casual yet polished outfit that definitely showed off her credentials in the best way. The actress-turned-author paired a plaid shirt with a tan blazer, dark-wash skinny jeans and black high-heel ankle boots for the occasion. I wanted to recreate this ensemble because it's a look that can work for so many fall functions, from the office to the weekend...and something tells me this would be especially cute for teachers, as we're in back-to-school season! I found the perfect flannel at Joe Fresh and then brought the look into 2016 by updating the jeans to a pair of raw edge hem jeggings from Express. Ankle boots from DSW's new Mix no.6 line and a suede bag by Merona finish this look for less, which can be yours with finds starting at just $11.70...

Denim Darling: Reese Witherspoon's Buttoned-Up Midi Skirt and Slouchy Tee Look for Less

Reese Witherspoon Look for Less
While styles come and go, one thing is for sure, denim will always be a staple in American fashion. The current trend now? Button-front skirts, mini or midi, a-line or pencil, these bottoms have been featured in countless street style looks this year. Reese Witherspoon put her twist on the trend by styling her own Draper James Denim Wrap Skirt ($168) with a charcoal blue tee, matching wedges, cat eye sunglasses and a cherry-printed leather tote — also available at Draper James ($250). To keep the look simple, Reese added a gold bangle and a layered turquoise stone necklace. This look is casual and relaxed, but the button detailing and leather accents polish off the look and reflect Reese's signature preppy style. Recreate the look with my favorite denim skirt from Missguided ($40), a must-have tote and accessories starting at $6...
