Southern Sweet in Draper James

Blouse: Draper James | Sandals: Jack Rogers | Skirt: J.Crew Factory | Watch: Kate Spade NY

My style has changed a lot over the years, but the one thing that has remained constant is my love for sweet, southern simplicity. I’m from Georgia originally, and my mom raised me to love seersucker, scallops, pastels, and pearls. That’s another reason why we love Easter so much! You’re supposed to be able to break out your white shoes and pastels after winter on Easter but sorry, Mom, I don’t always follow that rule. Sometimes I just can’t wait!

Draper James is seriously every southern girl’s dream. Growing up in Nashville, Tennessee, Reese Witherspoon designed the brand with her southern roots in mind, naming it after her grandparents, Dorothea Draper and James Witherspoon. It’s a line of girly dresses and separates, chic accessories, and beautiful home decor that’ll make you the hostess with the mostest every time. This blouse is a perfect example of how the brand takes classic pieces and adds unique, feminine touches. The scallop detail and white collar make it just a little more special than your every day button-down.

“In the south you can never be too kind, too gracious, or too well dressed.” -Reese Witherspoon
