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!

There are those of us who look like we just rolled out of bed when we travel, and then there's Kate Bosworth, who looks like she just stepped off the set of Mad Men while spotted at LAX. In her perfectly polished lace pencil skirt, black turtleneck and slingback flats, she's a modern mod muse. And the coral lipstick is simply icing on the cake! If you're ready to up your style game, too, recreate Kate's alluring look for less with our affordable finds...

Plaid is a no-brainer for fall, as Victoria Justice proves in her simple yet stylish plaid shirt and skinny jeans get-up. She gives plaid a contemporary, sporty feel by pairing her blue button-down with all black extras and edgy hi-top sneakers. No fear of looking lumberjack here! I like that this outfit works in different climates, so my SoCal/Florida babes can rock this ensemble, too! Read on for the look for less...

Snapped during Paris Fashion Week, It-girl Hailey Baldwin was all legs and leather in her Topshop mini skirt, leather moto jacket and utility boots. It's effortless yet impossibly cool. Get the look for yourself with her exact skirt (under $100 at Nordstrom), faux leather moto jacket (if you don't already own one, this one from Sears is just $30) and Matisse shoes. A structured satchel always looks polished and finishes the look. Add a long sleeve tee and chunky scarf when temps dip to take this look well into the fall.

Fall is here and ponchos are de rigueur in the fashion world. Bloggers love them because they make a big style statement and photograph well. I love them because it's like wearing a cozy blanket. This is the only time of year when I can put on a layering tee, leggings and boots, toss on a poncho (I bought two at Walmart this year, see pics HERE) and call it a day. Here, I've found a gorgeous poncho by Vince Camuto (which isn't a super pricey brand) for $169 at nordstrom.com. The look for less is just $32.90.
