Reese Witherspoon has been a busy woman over the past year, but not even all that work could rumple her flower-decorated clothes or dim her bright smile on Thursday.

The 39-year-old Legally Blonde actress instead looked fresh and colourful when out on an errand in the Brentwood neighbourhood of Los Angeles.

That chipper attitude was especially impressive for a woman who has made two international trips in recent weeks.

Her blonde hair pulled into a bouncy, blonde ponytail, Reese adorned her ears with large pearl stud earrings and covered her eyes with black shades.

Pink-hued lipstick was just the right shade to match Reese's knee-length pencil skirt.

Additional decoration in the form of white and blue flowers decorated the bottom half of that skirt.

A pale blue blouse with a white collar provided contrast and added an air of casualness with its unbuttoned collar and rolled sleeves.

Black sandals with wedge heels and a black purse hanging on a gold chain accessorized the outfit, along with several pieces of gold jewellery.

However cheerful and energetic Reese seemed, the day out came shortly after the actress returned from a publicity tour in Mexico for her movie, Hot Pursuit.

Reese and co-star Sofia Vergara were both there for the Mexican premiere of their comedy - the new international releases may help the film's otherwise mediocre box-office performance.

Hot Pursuit grossed only a little more than its $35 million budget domestically, despite its big-name stars.

Before she went to Mexico, Reese travelled to Rome for a family holiday, where she was spotted taking in the sights with her mother and her 15-year-old daughter, Ava.

Reese also has two sons, 12-year-old Deacon and two-year-old Tennessee, to keep her busy.

A 2015 Academy Award nominee for Wild, Reese's next project is expected to be Big Little Lies, a limited television series co-starring Nicole Kidman.

Expected in 2016, the series will focus on a group of mothers whose perfect lives begin to unravel.
