about lou what wear

Hi! I’m danielle.

If you’re wondering what the ‘Lou’ stands for it’s a shoutout to Louisville, KY – so yeah, you may want to reconsider emailing me with a ‘Dear Lou.’

I started Lou What Wear in September 2011 as a creative outlet when I was stuck in a thankless and uninspiring job – I’m sure you know the kind. Just a gal at a computer looking for a little aspirational inspiration. While I’m not working away in vain anymore, I am still keeping this little project up and running.

Lou What Wear is an outlet to showcase personal style – both mine and others as well as style inspiration, home decor, beauty and whatever else catches my eye. Oh and my love of television. I can’t get enough of talking about television (The Bachelor/ette is my guiltiest pleasure). Most importantly, all of this is done with a focus on life and style in Louisville, KY.

When I’m not blogging, you can find me trying to keep it all together at the PR firm I started with my business partner Lynsey – Lemonade Public Relations – or chasing around my three kids – Drew (he’s the D3 I’m always referencing), Reese and Blake.  And yes, I know I am crazy for having three kids.

###

Likes: anything with stripes  *  trying out new restaurants  *  sneakers  *  the Kentucky Wildcats  *  the Miami Hurricanes  *  church picnics (beer, bingo, games, rides, fried chicken – what more could you possibly want in life?)  *  typography  *  pastel colored houses  *  bingo (no seriously, I love it)  *  television of all genres (it’s a problem)

Dislikes: slow drivers  *  loud talkers  *  leggings as pants  *  carrots *  the color orange (i think this and the carrots go together)  *  when your pants aren’t hemmed at the right spot (weird pet peeve right?)  *  the sound of cardboard on cardboard

* according to yesterday's poll, you're into mirro * according to yesterday's poll, you're into mirror selfies so here's one featuring a random baseball bat, a broken bench and my last nuuly box. #aspirationalcontent *

but mostly it's this @aviatornation sweatshirt that is wildly expensive but honestly worth every penny (that I didn't spend cause I had a gift card). so glad the @crazyzenlife gals influenced me to pull the trigger.

it is insanely cozy, oversized but not baggy or ill fitting and just the right length. no lie, I've put it on everyday since it we as delivered last week. #aviatornation #ootd #workfromhomelife #ltklately #stayhomewithltk
* the face of a woman happy to have the answer to * the face of a woman happy to have the answer to every mom’s most dreaded question: “what are we having for dinner?” *

we’re on week four of @hellofresh (this is not sponsored btw just legit loving it ... oh and this pic is from last week before i finally took down my garland) and it has alleviated so much of that dinner time/meal prep stress. even my picky as all hell kids don’t complain. but mostly i love it because i don’t have to mess with the grocery (and making lists) as much. 

the meals are really easy to make and there’s so many options each week. i have a few free boxes, so if you want one DM me with your email and i’ll send it your way. i’ll also throw the link for $70 off in my stories in case you want to give it a go. 

and hello fresh, call 📞 me. love you so much and took this thirsty pic to prove it. 🤪  no but really, trying to share more stuff i’m loving in the minute and this is my current #1.

* black and white and construction all over * just * black and white and construction all over * just gonna put this here and pretend that there’s not a port-o-let in the background 🤦‍♀️🤣🤷‍♀️ *

loved this shot and thought about posting it a few times but that silent stalker in the background made me pause but then saw something about posting what you like and so here we are. gave that whole sweater over a dress a try too and was going for a whole vibe... damn construction bathrooms kill the mood every time.  so this location may have been a fail but I did a reel last week with a lot of winners, so that balances it out, right? 📸 @tabitha.booth.photographer

* me pretending that a lot of you have been asking * me pretending that a lot of you have been asking about my skincare routine. 😂 *

no one asked but here’s me telling you that if you buy one silly gadget this year, make it this @foreo cleansing brush. i bought myself one as a christmas present and have been singing it’s praises to anyone who’ll listen ever since.

will link to it through @liketoknow.it (and you can shop all my posts through the link in my bio) but also it’s available locally at @lumi_skinbar so you can shop local and snag one. morgan at lumi is who got me addicted to this @isclinical cleanser too. it with the foreo is s’good!

does this make me a beauty influencer now? yeah no, i know it doesn’t. 📸 @tabitha.booth.photographer #foreo
