{What to Wear: Simpledaisy Style}

Well hello there & happy Wednesday to you:)


There was a time when I thought I might just give up on simpledaisy....the blog...the jewelry....all of it....but then my husband told me to NOT give up on my dreams and he encouraged me to stay focused .... which is very hard for me to do:)

So...I have stuck with the jewelry and have been working really hard on creating my "brand"....what simpledaisy is all about:)


I think lots of people try to be everything to everyone. I don't want that. I think of it as this, do I want to be a cover band....willing to play whatever everyone wants me to play or do I want to be my own band....creating the kind of music I enjoy...even though not everyone will like it.


I choose the later.
And, I am so happy with the way things have been turning out for simpledaisy....the blog & the jewelry.

I have come to realize that there are some pretty darn nice people out there who appreciate my kind of "music!"


I recently sold a pair of earrings to the Tia of The Cottage by the Sea {you should stop by and say "hello" if you get a chance} and she was so happy with them that she did an entire post on it!!! It made me so happy......
It's reasons like that ....that make me really stop and think to myself.....that I am NOT giving up on my dreams of one day creating full time!!!


So thank you....thank you....thank you.....blogger friends for stopping by and leaving me nice comments!!!!!! All the things you write really keep me moving onward towards my hopes and dreams!



OK now.......
I love...love....love simple interiors....
you know the kind that you just feel comfortable the instant you walk into a home...
the kind where if you spill a little wine it won't be a big deal....
the kind with simple color schemes that reflect calm and simplicity....


here's what I mean~




See....comfortable and yet still stylish...
Don't ya just want to hang out and drink some wine in one of these spaces?!?!?!



Just so happens I like my clothes to be the same way....
comfortable....stylish...but NOT trendy!
The kind that I can spill a little wine on and still look OK!! haha

I don't follow trends....ok maybe a tiny few...but not many.
I prefer to keep it simple...
An outfit that mimics the kind of interiors I love.

Here's a little outfit that I think ROCKS!
Start off with some basic khakis.....




throw on a plain but still cute white shirt....
put on some brown sandals...


add in a super cute starfish belt in either of the colors I pointed too...


{oh and honey, if you read this blog....please....please....please.....buy me one of these amazing belts...they ROCK}


and now....for a little pop of color....
sprinkle in a little jewelry......simpledaisy, I might add::)

I would probably only wear earrings and maybe a bracelet with this ensemble...
something like this if you're in a turquoise mood ....... or something like this.....
if you're in a ocean blue kind of mood....


or just mix and match them.....everything doesn't have to matchy, matchy all the time:)


There you have it....simple interiors reflected in a simple outfit!!!!! That's also the process I go through when I sit down to create jewelry. I cut out photos of outfits I like then I create the jewelry that I would wear with them:)

That's my creative process......What's yours?!


A little beachy....but not too much!
Just....pretty...simple...fresh:)

Sort of like this photo that I took~

PS.....just click on the photos for the sources:)

Hope you have a splendid rest of your week!!!!!

{displaying photographs}

I know there are more than a million ways to display/hang photographs. For me, simple is best!Remember this room.....I had nothing on the wall.....except for my twinkle lights and a chalkboard that I made out of an old frame! I don't think it's possible to have too many twinkle lights:)
Sometimes it takes me so long before I really decide what I want to do! But I did finally decide and.....An inexpensive picture from IKEA surrounded by some of the beachy photos I have taken! I think it looks nice~

The black and white framed by random images of the beach! I just stuck them to the wall with double sided tape! Sometimes they do start to peel off but it's an easy fix! Plus I can always add to them when the fancy strikes~

Oh and what I really love about the photos is the white border! I think it makes them look sort of old-fashioned!

What do you think?

So there you have it....A happy little way to disply your photographs!

Do you have any creative ways that you display your photographs?!

Oh and thanks for all the happy thoughts on getting through the winter!! I really appreciate all the ideas and I just might have to put some of them to good use!
