Summer Blues: Reese Witherspoon's Print Sundress and White Bucket Bag Look for Less

Reese Witherspoon's blue summer dress, white bucket bag and flat sandals
I've noticed a strange fashion trend among celebrities this summer which I haven't really seen before: The winter trend. Many stars seem to have missed the memo that it's actually summer, i.e. it's hot out there, opting for leather, long sweaters and even over-the-knee boots instead of sundresses and shorts.

Can You Spot the $118 Marc by Marc Jacobs Tee Shirt Dress?

Can you guess which t-shirt dress costs more?
I love a good tee shirt dress, that symbol of American sportswear that's as ubiquitous as blue jeans and sneakers.

In all fairness, it can be hard to find the perfect tee dress, one that's soft yet keeps it shape and hugs you in all the right places. I can't vouch for the Marc by Marc Jacobs find above ($118, shopbop.com) but I do know that the look for less is pretty awesome in person and only costs $27.
