Reese Witherspoon launched her fashion and lifestyle brand Draper James last year, and in addition to offering "unapologetically pretty" clothing and accessories and must-have home decor pieces, the site also boasts an editorial section that features "Southernisms" from the New Orleans-born, Nashville-bred actress in the form of sayings that are funny, quotable, and perfect for pinning. We've rounded up some of them and researched whether or not Reese truly follows her own advice as a Southern belle. Scroll through to see them now.
Southernism: "Give Us a Hug, Never a Handshake"
Does she follow it? Yup, Reese definitely follows this rule. Here she is embracing Cara Delevingne at the MTV Movie Awards in April.
Southernism: "Lipstick Is a Girl's Best Friend"
Does she follow it? Totally. Reese clearly loves a bright lip on the red carpet, but she's also not above throwing some color into her beauty look even while traveling.
Southernism: "I Love a Luncheon"
Does she follow it? Here's Reese hosting a CFDA/Vogue Fund luncheon in 2014. She looks like she's having fun, so yes, she lives by this one.
Southernism: "We Dance Like No One Is Watching Even When the Whole Room Is"
Does she follow it? If this photo of Reese and Sofia Vergara shaking it to a mariachi band is any indication, then yes, we can safely say Reese follows this Southernism.
Southernism: "I Would Rather Be Overdressed"
Does she follow it? We're going to have to say "yes." This is what Reese wore while bowling!
Southernism: "We Like Every Type of Flower but Mostly — the Wild Kind"
Does she follow it? Reese does love flowers, and she was in a movie called Wild, so we're going to give her this one.
Southernism: "Butter Ain't a Bad Word"
Does she follow it? Oh, yeah. Reese shares lots of photos of herself eating sweet treats on Instagram, including this snap of a huge slice of praline cake (which we can safely assume includes butter).
