9 Things Every Southern Girl Has in Her Closet

Don't get us wrong – we're thankful every girl in the South has her own signature Southern style. But, once you've lived through your fair share of football seasons and intense heat waves, there are a few wardrobe essentials every Southern woman realizes she needs to have on hand. We're not saying there's such a thing as a Southern uniform, but we are willing to place a bet on a few Southern staples we know are hanging in your closet.

From floral patterns to pastel prints, we can't help it. Not only do happy colors put a pep in our step, but it's warm enough most of the year to pull them off almost every day.

Last minute summer potluck in the neighborhood? Need to get dressed for church in a hurry? We all have that one go-to shift we can count on, no matter how hot it is out there.

Even though you know that it may only get below freezing a bunch of times during the winter season, it always seems like a good idea to stock up on a new stylish jacket each year.

Whether passed down or given to you on a meaningful occasion, nothing completes an outfit quite like a pair of pearl studs.

You can't darn well call on the dawgs in anything less than the perfect black and red sundress.

Some of us have a drawer full, others have just one faded favorite. Either way, these t-shirts are treasures chock-full of memories. You can't expect us to throw them out.

As Reese Witherspoon says, "If it's not moving, monogram it." Because monogramming is a way of life, we bet you've made your mark on a tote or two….or three.

It gets hot, y'all. How else are we supposed to spend a weekend at the lake?
