Girls Raised in the South

Girls Raised in the South

Southern Belle, Southern Lady, Southern Girl, and Country Girl are all nicknames for girls raised in the south.  Recently I found a great article, “How to become a Southern Belle.”  All the attributes listed in the editorial were traits that have always came naturally to me.  Girls raised in the south are charming, well-mannered, sophisticated, and have fabulous style!  A southern lady always has manners.  She is polite and uses the phrases, “yes sir and ma’am”, “excuse me”, and “thank you.”  Southern girls respect their elders, although everyone is referred to sir or ma’am, no matter how old they are.  Country girls call everybody baby, sweetie, sugar, and darlin’.  A southern lady is always dressed to impress, and enjoy wearing dresses, heels, and pearls.  A southern lady can also wear jeans, a t-shirt, and cowboy boots or flip flops and still look presentable.  J  Not only are southern belles always well-dressed, they also stay neat and clean.  Hair, nails, and make-up always look impeccable.  A southern girl is family oriented and her parents will always be momma and daddy.  When girls raised in the south receive a compliment, they say thank you and return the compliment.  A southern belle is always smiling.  J  Country girls have hospitality at all times.  They are always nice, welcoming, and generous to everyone, even to people they do not particularly like.  They always have sweet tea in the refrigerator as well.  Southern ladies are smart and finishing school is a priority.  They rarely cuss or try really hard not to.  Southern girls are spiritual and have a relationship with God.  Southern ladies are very strong women and always have a positive attitude.  Overall, girls raised in the south are down-to-earth, genuinely, sweet southern belles.
