Reese Witherspoon has made another trip around the sun!

Today, the Legally Blonde actress and Hello Sunshine founder turns 49, so to celebrate, we decided to reminisce on some of our favorite looks worn by her in the past year. Plus, now that we’ve officially entered into spring, we’re positive that these lightweight cardigans, flattering jeans, and convenient accessories will work overtime to make over your spring wardrobe.

And since we’ve got your best interests at heart, everything is under $70 and so stylish, we think Elle Woods would (bend and) snap them up, too.

Linen and cotton are go-tos for spring and summer because they’re really breathable. But Witherspoon has shown us that it’s not always about the fabric; it can also be about what’s on the fabric. Eyelets, which she wore both earlier this month and last spring, are tiny, intentional cutouts that actually let air flow in and out of a garment, allowing the wearer to feel a gentle breeze. It’s like cracking a window open at night — it helps with temperature regulation.

And this shirt from Nordstrom Rack has them sprinkled all over. Plus, it’s short-sleeved and made from cotton, so it’s about as breezy as a shirt can get. The white hue also matches the fragrant flowers, Easter bunny, and host of other things that pop up at this time of year.

Levi’s 726 High-Rise Flare Jeans

Aside from anything with puff-sleeves, there’s another trend Witherspoon won’t stop wearing: flare jeans. We saw her leave behind her bootcut bottoms for the leg-elongating ones three separate times in recent memory, but she’s also been a fan for years.

So we sought out these Levi’s jeans from Amazon, which are on sale. “[They’re] super comfy, stretchy, and not constricting,” said one five-star reviewer. As for how they look: “The bottoms are more of a skinny flare” and “they don’t bell out as much,” wrote another shopper.

Bostanten Small Top-Handle Crossbody Bag, $31 with coupon

$37
$31 at Amazon

In January, the birthday girl carried a $458 top-handle bag that could convert to a crossbody at a moment’s notice, and we immediately saw the benefit in this. But we wanted something slightly more affordable like this now-$31 find. Meanwhile, the metallic hardware and boxy shape make it a good designer doppelgänger that can be worn to weddings, showers, or upscale affairs.

In summary, it’s Reese Witherspoon’s birthday, but it’s time to get yourself some presents. Keep scrolling to shop more fashion inspired by the star now.
