Welcome to The Blueprint, where we break down the celebrity looks we want to wear right now and build them back up, piece by piece.
Every fall, I'm inevitably introduced to a cute and cozy autumn-friendly piece that I just have to get my hands on. This year's must-have item? A dainty quilted vest, which may or may not have been influenced by Blake Lively's latest New York City stroll.
On September 24, the actress stepped out hand-in-hand with her husband, Ryan Reynolds, wearing a lightweight layering staple that's now dominating my fall fashion mood boards. She styled the quilted blue and purple vest with a white sweater, navy blue trousers, and matching navy suede boots, and she topped off the look with a hands-free cobalt blue Chanel crossbody bag.

While quilted vests and jackets are nothing new — stars like Sarah Jessica Parker and Katie Holmes have worn versions of the trend in recent memory — Lively's printed take added a pretty twist that makes it well-suited for fall, spring, and, well, every season.
Below, join me in copying the actress' look by shopping quilted vests, straight-leg trousers, and crossbody bags at Amazon, Kate Spade, Anthropologie, and more.

Channel Lively's fall-friendly 'fit while incorporating one of autumn's "It" colors into your wardrobe by picking up this lightweight vest from Anthropologie. Its dainty floral print and roomy front pockets closely resemble the actress's top, and I love that it also comes in two additional celeb-worn patterns: Leopard and gingham. Style it with dresses and T-shirts, and layer it over sweaters and sweatshirts once temperatures cool.

I'm always looking for an opportunity to ditch restrictive denim, and Lively's navy pants offer a comfortable alternative that doesn't sacrifice style. These straight-leg trousers from Amazon look so similar to her pair, plus they've racked up more than 19,600 five-star ratings from shoppers thanks to their stretchy and relaxed fit and versatile silhouette.
"One of the most comfortable business casual slacks I've ever owned," one reviewer shared. "I can wear these for hours and not feel any discomfort."

Streamline your accessory game by grabbing this fuss-free crossbody bag from Kate Spade while it's on sale. Shoppers note that its compact size, interior pockets, and secure snap closure make it "perfect for travel." One reviewer shared that they're already planning on "purchasing again." Snag it in Lively-worn blue, or choose from hunter green and pastel pink.
