These are some photos of Reese Witherspoon out and about in LA yesterday. The Daily Mail says she’s headed to a lunch meeting at a French restaurant called Bouchon. I just wanted to gush over her a little. I love Reese’s casual style and have followed her for some time. She dresses conservative yet cute and this outfit is no exception. The cobalt blue color is striking, and I must own at least 10 items of clothing in that color, probably more. (I’m pale-skinned with red blonde hair and I wear a lot of bright blue and green tones.) So I love this breezy dress and blazer on Reese with some smart low heels. She dresses in solid colors most of the time and I do that too! I’m not too into patterns or anything fancy, other than the occasional stripe or scarf. So it’s nice to see Reese out in an outfit I could see myself in. At first I thought her jacket and heels were black, but they’re both navy. It’s a thoughtful, understated look.

Also, can you believe she had a baby just two months ago? I could have sworn it was longer than that, but Reese and her new husband, Jim Toth, welcomed little Tennessee in late September, and here she is looking like a million bucks and going for a working lunch. There are photos from last week of baby Tennesee here – he looks so cute and sleepy!

Reese has one film in the can, Devil’s Knot, which is out sometime next year. The Mail reminds us that she filmed it while pregnant. She’s also slated to work on three films next year. Reese’s career as a lead actress is kind of faltering – she did How Did You Know in 2010 and This Means War earlier this year. The only movie she had out in 2011 was Water for Elephants, although that did OK. Reese will be fine, though, she has a production company and they’re working on several films. She’s a smart cookie and she works hard. Although she’s selling her Ojai ranch – do you think things are a little tight, very relatively speaking, for Reese? Maybe she just wanted a change.
