Good news! Reese Witherspoon displays winning style in blue checkered top while chatting on her phone during LA outing

Lately she's been spotted almost exclusively in workout gear.

But on Thursday Reese Witherspoon upgraded her style to something more chic and casual with a summer-ready ensemble.

The 40-year-old Legally Blonde star looked well put together in a baby blue and white checked shirt, white trousers and canary yellow ballet flats.

A purse with complementary yellow strap and accents, as well as gold hardware added an element of sophistication to the airy outfit.

The Hot Pursuit actress accessorized with a large gold watch, a gold bracelet and a small gold medallion necklace. 

Some quirky white-framed shades completed the remarkably well-coordinated look.

Reese appeared to be mostly make-up free and let her famous golden tresses fall down past her shoulders 

Good news? She seemed to be in good spirits as she exited a shop and answered the phone, a call which soon elicited a wide smile

Make like Reese with a Draper James bucket bag

Reese Witherspoon's outfit matched her mood - bright and sunny - when she wore a summery ensemble while running errands in LA. The Hot Pursuit star sported a checked top, straight leg jeans and ballet flats. She accessorized with a pair of white sunnies and a bucket bag from her clothing line, Draper James.

White bags like Reese's are synonymous with warm weather attire so if you haven't picked up yours yet, now is the time to buy. We adore the yellow straps and drawstring for an unexpected color pop.

And the best part is that her exact carryall is now on sale for just under $150. So if you're looking for a new summer bag, we think you've found it right here!

Big Little Lies tells the story of what happens when the perfect lives of a group of Southern California moms start to unravel. 

The series is based on Liane Moriarty's best-selling novel of the same name.

Reese has several other projects in the works, and is producing an ABC pilot about a 'ruthless divorce attorney' in Dallas, which stars Anna Paquin and Grey's Anatomy's T.R. Knight.
