Lou What Wear

So here’s the deal. I love musicals. LOVE THEM. Love Mamma Mia, Love Glee, Love the Sirius Radio Broadway Channel, Love Mary Poppins and LOVE WICKED.

That unabashed love has been often mocked by my loved ones most notably my husband (He can’t help but shake his head when I talk about my dreams of being a Broadway star. Well you know, if I could just sing or dance). So imagine my surprise and elation when I came home a few months ago to be presented with two tickets for us to see Wicked (for my 3rd or 4th time).

In normal fashion we were running late but I still managed to convince him to snap a couple pics of my {subtle} animal print inspired outfit.

Pardon the phone pics. We’ve discussed that …. I’m working on it!

Tee: LOFT; Necklace: eBay (similar); Skirt: Unknown; Shoes: Jessica Simpson (old); Bracelet: Stella & Dot; Watch: Timex

Try it with your own twist….

Is there anything that screams American summer more than a pair of denim cut-offs and a white tee? There’s just something effortless, chic and carefree about the simple pairing. And all these pictures make me wish I pulled off this thrown together look as well as these girls (and my ultimate girl crush Rihanna) can.

Sometimes the best pair of cut-offs are just that, cut off from an old pair of jeans but if you’re not into a DIY project, I’ve included some fun options to help you put together the look.

Send me your summer pictures, I’d love to get some Louisville girls in the mix on next Friday’s collection! Email me at danielle @ louwhatwear . com or tag Lou What Wear in your facebook pictures. (p.s. – while you’re doing that, i’d love it if you could ‘like’ the page!)
