Once again I am in awe of Reese Witherspoon's southern sweetheart style. Her crisp white shorts and clean striped button-up look great paired with nude sunglasses, sandals and, the perfect summer accessory, a straw tote. Reese's classic prep style is so simple to recreate and in this curated batch of must-haves, I've even included a little DIY project. On Reese, the blue and white striped blouse has touches of embroidered flowers scattered on the front, and since it was my favorite detail of the look I knew that our fellow Budget Babes had to have it too! Read on to see the $5 iron-on appliqués I found at JoAnn Fabrics that easily take this look to the next level...

Always bright and cheerful, Reese Witherspoon has shown us exactly how to dress like a perfect southern belle this summer and this ensemble has to be one of my favorites! The actress-turned-designer paired her very own Draper James Darlin' Daisy Love Circle Dress ($225) with a cardigan, navy wedge sandals, gold jewelry, gradient sunglasses and Draper James Overlook Bag ($250). Aside from Reese's gorgeous pieces, the best part of this look has to be the bright color scheme. Pink and orange make a great combination and this palette pops against navy blue accents. Read on to score some truly amazing finds, including a look-a-like navy accented wicker bag and bright floral dress for a fraction of the cost!
