<div style="text-align: justify;">

I am not sure where this post will go or how much I will a
ramble, but know that it's from the heart and been a long time coming.
It's refreshing to write again....even if my words may not be the most
poetic or grammatically correct. To be back on my own "little" Blogger
account and feel somewhat safe in a community of women that have
supported me for so many years, friends/family both on and offline, is
an answered prayer from God.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's been almost two months since I have opened my Blogger account<i> (yes, I still use Blogger)</i>, looked at my "stats", scrolled through Instagram, read my favorite blogs, pinned images or shopped for clothes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Who am I? What happened? Why did I suddenly decide to walk away? Wasn't this my most beloved hobby? Why did I stop caring about a "business" and passion that I grew and built on my own <i>(along with my husband's photography grace)</i>? Why would someone work so incredibly hard for 3 1/2 years for something they believed in and then abandon it without a second thought? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I took several weeks off from posting and limited my time on social media. I realized I was spending entirely too many hours on the computer and on my phone. I was neglecting the most important parts of my life, missing out on moments and not focusing on what mattered most.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you're not careful the online world can suck you in, change you, turn you into something that is false and twist notions of what's "really" real. You begin to second guess yourself and feel as though you're not good enough, young enough, pretty enough, wealthy enough, popular enough and the list goes on. You watch others become crazy successful, witness those same people going on exotic sponsored "work trips" via Instagram posts and then new social media outlets become the "latest" thing like Scapchat or Periscope. You're head starts to spin and you finally stop and wonder...what the HELL am I doing? What happened to YOU? Where did YOU go? Why did you put what REALLY matters on the back burner just to try and prove yourself to people that you've never met? How come you've put so much pressure on yourself that you lost all self confidence, motivation, drive and can't seem to find the "fun" in the very thing that used to make you so happy and was a saving grace in the darkest time in your life?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yes, all these questions, feelings and thoughts came from me...maybe you've asked yourself the same ones too...whether you blog or not. Maybe you have been feeling the same pressures, going through the same scenarios or experiencing the same emotions in your own life. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That's okay. Actually it's better than okay...these questions that you ask yourself prove that you are human and that you care...care for yourself, your loved ones, the influence you have on others and what you really want to focus on during your time here on earth. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
This summer has been a whirlwind...in a good way. We had the best time and I actually was "present" seven days a week. Yes, I wanted to ship my kids off a millions times, but it was the first summer in several years that I was there...no career/blogging/work distractions. The kids are back in school and the house is eerily quiet, but I had my mind made up that I wasn't going to blog again and now here I sit. I am truly missing it and the day-to-day interactions I have with so many of you.<br />
<br />
I am not sure what I will feel tomorrow or the next, but one thing is for sure, I will find my fire again...<br />
<br />
Thank you with every ounce of my being if you have stuck around, commented on recent social media posts and for not "unfollowing" me. This hasn't been easy and I apologize for not being as supportive and loyal to you has you have been to me.<br />
<br />
I have a feeling I will be here again soon with my original intent....to share personal style and inspire... regardless of what the masses are doing these days. Trying to remind myself of that. <br />
<br />
At the end of the day, "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." - Dr. Seuss<br />
<br />
Even though I beat myself up about certain things and at times feel as though I lost my "Shanna" spark, memories we captured this summer remind that I am blessed regardless of my online presence and that I made the right choice to step back, "smell the roses" and embrace moments that have been so graciously given.<br />

Today's post might seem like it's coming out of nowhere, but it's not. It's been a long time coming. After a few weeks of prayer and reflection, I came to the conclusion that I need to take a break from blogging. I have had numerous conversations with myself leveraging the pros and cons of my decision.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
My heart hasn't been in it for awhile and the summer months haven't made things easier. I want to run my blog, not have it run me. I also want to be proud of my posts and create content that you guys love and want to read/see. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I also want to focus on living the life I love...being with my family, friends and myself. I am spent worrying about taking pictures, editing, writing, posting quality content or beating myself up about certain things. I hope to find the fun in it again, rediscover my original passion and enjoy this space. At this moment, I want to embrace my personal life and not waste a single second stressing about a small piece of my life's pie...this blog. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I am positive that I will be back. It's a ginormous part of who I am and know I would miss it tremendously, but ready for a little time away. I can only hope that you guys will still be here when I do come back.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Your encouragement, support, love and friendships mean more than I could ever express. My blog has changed my life...for the better. For that, I am grateful, humbled and appreciative.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I will still be around on <a href="https://instagram.com/shannasaidso/" target="_blank"><b>Instagram </b></a>and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BecauseShannaSaidSo" target="_blank"><b>Facebook</b></a>, so in the meantime, I hope you will want to follow along there.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I love you guys and will be chatting with everyone again soon...I am sure of it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
This is not goodbye, just see ya soon! xoxo </div>

Summer months are always crazy, hectic. We are constantly on the go, planning fun activities with our friends and family and enjoying every ounce of summer break. This time of year just makes me happy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I have a few fun plans with my best girls from college marked on the calendar. We always try and get together for birthday celebrations, but this time we will be killing two birds with one stone and celebrating birthdays and the arrival of a sweet baby girl.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I have always gone to Hallmark not only for unique gift ideas, but for their special occasion cards as well. I literally could stand in the card aisle for hours, read dozens of cards for a good laugh and even buy a few to put in frames for decoration. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I was so excited when I came across the <a href="http://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/clk?id=163057563&iu=/5485/sugar.pop/track" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>Hallmark Signature</b></a> cards. They are seriously the most creative and original pieces I have ever seen. I picked up the "Happy" card to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday. It has the cutest, three-dimensional sprinkles on top. My oldest daughter actually thought she could pick them off the card and eat them. Ha! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I had to share it with you guys and also plan a summer outfit around its vibrant colors. The card I picked up inspired me to wear this colorful tassel scarf & bright cobalt blue pants for a friend's annual summer party a few weeks ago. Who knew you could find style inspiration from a greeting card? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I actually picked up a few more cards, but I can't show you because they are a surprise <i>(my anniversary is this month and there's another surprise occasion coming soon)</i>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
You guys definitely need to stop by Hallmark and take a peek at the collection. Many of the cards are frames, come with a piece of jewelry attached, utilize items to decorate your home/office space with and are all full of adorable charm. Each one is truly a piece of art with dozens of styles, shapes and materials to choose from. </div>

Happy July!!The past several weeks have been filled with fun days and evenings. Before I know it, it's dinner time and I wonder how the day zoomed by so quickly. Spending time with friends and shuffling kids around from place to place, I haven't had time to do much "shopping". I am not complaining because I would rather enjoy our time outdoors than walking around inside a store. Plus, it isn't always the most pleasant experience shopping with a ten and seven year old. Spending as little time as possible in front of a computer, my online shopping excursions have been almost non-existent.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Most of the summer pieces I have picked up have been from either Old Navy or Target. I have taken my small amount of purchases, <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/3w7b5jcfw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>like this lightweight kimono</b></a>, and paired them items I already own...many of which have been seen on my blog numerous times. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I am not going to say I don't miss sneaking away for a little retail therapy, but savoring every morsel of summer is more inviting to me. Simplified outfits and remixing my closet has been nice. I don't feel like thinking about clothes right now...just about our next summer adventure. </div>

I mentioned Wednesday that we have been eating out A LOT this week...like every single day. My girls had back-to-back camps and we have less than an hour to eat lunch. So, we have made our rounds when it comes to eating. Let's just say I am feeling a little "fluffier" than usual. No camps next week means lots of salads at home. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway, due to my fluffy feelings, this <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/z57wfjcfw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>fluttered sleeve blouse</b></a> did a fab job of camouflaging. It's super soft and lightweight, perfect for the rising temps here in Texas. After a week in tennis shoes, flip flops and flats, I wanted to put on a pair of heels for last night's Mexican food dinner with the fam. See, I told you guys our dining out habits have been off the charts!! It's almost embarrassing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Only a few sizes left in <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/z57wfjcfw" target="_blank"><b>this top</b></a>, but there are five other color and print options as well. If you are looking for a billowy fit that is crazy comfy and cool, I suggest adding one to your summer wardrobe. I plan on wearing it again with denim shorts and sandals for weekend errands. I purchased a size 4, but think I could have gone up or down a size and been fine either way. </div>

Have a great weekend and some fun in the sun!</div>

Wow, what a change of pace from yesterday. Okay, I don't mean to bore you guys with the same color combo of red, black and white, but at least I added chambray into the mix with this style. The combination has always been a go-to of mine. I seem to always coordinate these colors without even thinking...it just comes naturally. Why wouldn't it? They are classic, timeless and no matter if you're shooting for a casual or dressy look, they just seem to perfectly mesh. </div>

I picked up these<a href="http://rstyle.me/n/3tgzejcfw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b> linen tie shorts from Anthropologie </b></a>a few weeks ago. They are now on SUPER sale along with so many other adorable pieces. In case you didn't know, <a href="http://bit.ly/1Tyi9R8" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>Anthropologie is running a Summer Tag sale</b></a> with savings up to 50% off. <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/z8ycwjcfw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>This dress I wore a few weeks ago</b></a> is now less than $50. I want over a dozen pieces, but having a hard time deciding what to send to checkout. Honestly, I'm REALLY trying to spend less and save more, but when this sale rolls around it's hard to resist since it only happens twice a year!</div>

I have rounded up a few of my favorites below. Help me pick!! Which should I have mailed to me?! I need my friends' opinions. It's always easier to choose when you get your girlfriends' two cents!</div>

We are well into our third week of Summer Break and not to jinx myself, but things have been pretty streamlined. The first week was full of nothing, just embracing freedom. Last week was a morning camp, hitting the gym again and lazy rainy afternoons. This week, well, Landry is in volleyball camp in the morning and Logan in the afternoon. We have an hour in between camps, so fast food lunch breaks will be our story until Friday.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The best part, the girls joined a last minute FREE VBS which means Mom and Dad have a few hours alone for dinner. More eating out. This is why I hit the gym again last week. Last night we headed out for sushi and actually got to have a lengthy conversation about our day and catch up on husband and wife stuff. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Besides hearing the words, "Moooooooom, Come here!" at least five times while writing this post and my house being destroyed with Shrinky Dink crafts, makeshift Barbie swimming pools, cement powder "accidentally" dropped across the kitchen floor for another "said" craft and filthy dogs coming in every night from playing in the mud filled back yard (thank you, rainy summer) life without a school schedule hasn't been all that bad. </div>

Still surprised that Ross and I are making blog pictures happen and that I am actually getting dressed for the day, even though it's not until 5:00 PM for an hour dinner. Hey, you take what you can get. </div>

Typically, when it comes to clothes I need color...lots of it. Red, blue, green and orange are my basics and ones I tend to grab for when shopping. The proof is in most of my posts. During the spring and summer months, you will most likely see me in vibrant colors and prints...they just seem appropriate for and go hand-in-hand with the warm and sunny seasons. </div>

Sometimes, on occasion, when shopping my closet with pieces I already own, something magical takes place, new ideas come to my head and BOOM, a neutral outfit is born. I don't own many pieces that play into this style, but the ones I do have can be recreated time again like this <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/ycf3tjcfw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>blush vest</b></a>, <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/ztcdnjcfw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>cream bag</b></a> <i>(best Chloe Drew knock-off!)</i> and these <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/w45h6jcfw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>tan tassel sandals</b></a>. Moving forward, I am going to try and play up my simplicity game because sometimes less is more. Ya know? But, I am not trading in my bright colors and patterns all together. That wouldn't be fair. :)</div>

P.S. If you are looking for a neutral colored vest for all season, I highly recommend this one from Forever 21. It's from their contemporary line, so be sure to size down. I purchased a size small.

I thought it would be fun and out of the norm to actually post some current "over and out" feelings I have been having as of late. Sometimes I get caught up in "outfits" and forget to share pieces of my brain and life on the blog. So, if you are here for fashion inspiration, awesome, feel free to scroll through and skip the content. Otherwise, here goes a laundry list of items I am soooo over and a few that I can't get enough of. Bringing the random back...</div>

2. <b>Network Television</b>. Is there anything on TV these days that we can watch as a family? Like something that my entire family wants to actually sit on the couch and watch together? Something that is appropriate and doesn't revolve people eating one another, violence, adult content or kids hearing "Whispers"? Geeeeez, what happened to TGIF? Better yet...bring back Gilmore Girls!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3. <b>The Rain.</b> Tropical storm. Flooding. Disastrous backyard. The lakes need it, but most of us Texans are D.O.N.E. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4. <b>Not Working Out.</b> I am ashamed and embarrassed. No excuses was my motto, but I guess I forgot that along with so many other things the past few months. Well, I drug my sagging and out of shape booty to the gym on Monday. I wanted to die and can hardly sit on the toilet, but I did it and plan to do it again today...and three days a week from now on. I feel GROSS!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
5. <b>The words "I am bored"</b>. Summer is fun and my favorite, but if I hear my kids say this phrase one more time, I might lose my shizzzz. They act like we haven't done ANYTHING the past two weeks. Spoiled.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
6. <b>Apple.</b> I am on my 3rd iPhone 6. I spent last Sunday at the Genius Bar...again. Lucky me. First it was an upgrade. Second time was software. Third time was hardware. Praying there won't be a fourth.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
7. <b>Cleaning House.</b> I do it and 2.2 seconds later it's a disaster again. Enough said. Welcome, Summer Break and the kids being home. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>So NOT Over:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. <b>Summer.</b> I mean what can be better than naps, pool time, concerts, long days, tan lines, no schedules, beaches, lakes and NO HOMEWORK!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. <b>Chambray.</b> I just can't stop. <a href="http://www.shopstyle.com/action/loadRetailerProductPage?id=480491849&pid=uid5625-8915525-34" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>This dress </b></a>isn't technically chambray, but it has the effect and that's what counts. It's just so dang versatile. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3. <b>Tassels.</b> I wear <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/xq46ijcfw" target="_blank"><b>these necklaces</b></a> all of the time. If it has a tassel, sign me up. Trend or not, I am on board at the moment. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4. <b>White Nail Polish. </b>Again. I just can't quit. I tell myself I am going to get a new color on my toes at each salon visit, but it never happens. It goes with everything and seems to stay on better than any other color. If it isn't broke, why fix it?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
5. <b>Texting my Girlfriends.</b> Best thing ever. We don't have time to talk or have three-way conversations...so we just type silliness, add a dozen emjois, vent about our day and send inappropriate pics. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
6.<b> iTunes Radio.</b> Yes, I said I was so over Apple, but I do love me some iTunes radio. I barely listen to my playlist, Pandora or iHeart Radio anymore. If you have an iPhone...check it out. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
7. <b>Ed Sheeran.</b> I LOVE this guy and all his music. I cannot get enough of his new song, Photograph. I think I have listened to it three times a day over the last week. Melt.My.Heart.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So there was a little bit of random for your Wednesday. It's been awhile and it felt good to share. This was probably the easiest post I have typed in a long time and it felt really nice. Happy Hump Day!</div>

I haven't done an <a href="https://instagram.com/shannasaidso/" target="_blank"><b>Instagram</b></a> round up in quite some time and because taking blog pictures during the summer isn't always the easiest or top priority, I thought I would share a few photos and pieces that didn't technically make a full blog post. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yep, yesterday was a little "messy" when it came to my hair and phone. I had no intentions of actually posting this outfit. I had something else in mind for today, but life happens. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Apparently I have "restored" my iPhone through iCloud one too many times. I believe I have done this since the 3 came out. The thing is, nobody at Apple told me this could cause serious software issues. Now I know. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway, long story short, my new iPhone 6 literally died yesterday. Not because of the phone, but because of a software crash. If you are like me and have NO HOME phone, I was dying. It was out for over two hours and I kept thinking, what if there is an emergency...no one can contact me. What text messages am I missing? I know, sad. Back in the day, I relied on a pager or call waiting. My how times have changed. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We zoomed to the Apple store and luckily got assistance in less than 20 minutes...the phone Gods were on my side...finally! They had to wipe my phone clean and I had to start from scratch. Luckily I still have my contacts and music...the most important parts. iPhone users, beware and ask your Apple rep about restoring from iClould more than a few times. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After all was good again in Apple world, we snapped a few pics in this outfit because I always have my camera in my car, in true blogger fashion.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My hair was a little crazy and I really didn't have any eye make-up on <i>(hence the sunglasses)</i>, but we made it work in the nick of time. I almost threw in the Friday blog post towel...thank you Ross, for being there and coming through for me, once again. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hope you guys have a great weekend. I plan on soaking in a little <a href="http://www.patgreen.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>Pat Green</b></a> tonight with some great friends, two-stepping and singing at the top of my lungs.<br />

I have had the hardest time finding a romper that doesn't show my "cheeks", is flattering, appropriate for my age and style preference. I swear I have probably tried on a few dozen and almost gave up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I am so glad that persistence paid off and that I didn't throw in the towel with romping around this summer. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I found a <a href="http://rstyle.me/~5npSi" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>palm print </b></a>and <a href="http://rstyle.me/~5npRk" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>embroidered chambray romper </b></a>at Old Navy the other day. I was actually looking for a last minute dress for dinner last weekend. I unexpectedly stumbled upon these two and didn't have time to try them on in the dressing room. I am pretty consistent with my sizing at Old Navy and just grabbed them both, hoping they would fit. YES! They did and better than I expected. I came so close to having buyer's remorse after checkout, but was super pleased with the fit and length. Both are long enough for my taste and are super comfortable for running around this summer with my girls and even for evenings out with friends. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
If you've been in the same boat when it comes to finding a romper long enough to cover up your backside, I definitely recommend checking out <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/23rhcjcfw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>the options at Old Navy</b></a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
When the temps have already hit over 90 degrees, you find and purchase pieces that are loose fitting, comfy and lightweight <i>(and cute, of course)</i>...bring on the heat!</div>

It is officially summer in my house. Our last day of school was Friday and it was nothing short of go-go-go and GO! I think I pulled in and out of the school parking lot six times, procrastinated on things that I shouldn't have procrastinated on <i>(go figure)</i>, had to pack for a weekend trip and met my girls at the bus stop bawling, crying. Not me...them. They do this every single year. They both wish for the last day of school to arrive, but then act like the world is coming to an end when it happens. They loved their teachers this year and will miss their friends. Having two girls is quite the emotional roller coaster ride. I have no idea where they get it from <i>(wink-wink)</i>. Let's just say I was doing a happy dance the entire walk home, while consoling, of course. BRING ON SUMMER BREAK and sleeping in!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Ross and I dropped the girls off with his parents and we headed to Boerne, Texas for a yearly couples' weekend getaway for <a href="http://www.texasbighornsociety.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>Texas Big Horn Society</b></a>. Usually it doesn't fall on the weekend that school lets out. We usually always head to the neighborhood pool to celebrate with friends. We were all a little bummed, but secretly I was happy dancing again for a weekend away with Ross and to celebrate the start of summer break. </div>

I wore this outfit Saturday night for a dinner and live auction. I have had this skirt forever, but it was hiding in the back of my closet. When I grabbed this <a href="http://rstyle.me/~5mFqR" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>floral top from Old Navy</b></a>, a light went off and remembered I had my white skirt and that it would pair perfectly with the top. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I also couldn't wait to wear these <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/2nkafjcfw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>Vince Camuto fringe heels</b></a>. I knew I had to style an outfit around them because I have been dying to wear them since they showed up on my doorstep over a week ago. They run true to size and Ross twirled me round and round on the dance floor Saturday night. If you can find a cute pair of heels that are two-stepping worthy and not fall on your face, you know you've struck gold. </div>

Today I am teaming up with one of my favorite style blog friends, <a href="http://mixmatchfashion.com/" target="_blank"><b>Tara with Mix & Match Fashion</b></a> for a little summer style inspiration link-up. <i>Make sure to join in on the fun at the bottom of this post!</i> Tara and I have been great buddies for almost four years and she is a master at mixing and matching. Be sure to visit her blog, check out her summer fashion spin and let her know I sent ya! :)</div>

Summer is just a few weeks away and I just can't get enough of tropical inspired prints. Palm leaves and sunset hues, yes please! I also am loving lightweight and temperature appropriate jumpsuits. Typically I steer clear of pants during this time of year because of our Texas heat, but I made an exception for this palm print, <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/2qy9njcfw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>sleeveless jumpsuit from Sheinside</b></a>. The fabric is light enough for warm days/evenings, the print screams summer and it's sooooo different from anything I have seen. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
If you are planning a tropical getaway this summer, <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/2qy9njcfw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>this one</b></a> needs to be purchased and packed. Even if you don't have a beach vacay on the schedule, it will definitely make a statement for patio dinners or a special summer event. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I will say it runs a little a small. I ordered a medium and am 5'7 (typically a size 6). The ankle portion is a little tight, but stretches. Hope that helps if you plan to grab one for yourself. </div>

P.S. Ross and the girls gave me this <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/2uhxhjcfw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>Kendra Scott necklace</b></a> and <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/2uj3mjcfw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>these earrings</b></a> for Mother's Day/birthday. They were soooooo excited to see me wear them. Because let's be honest, I ALWAYS love what they give me <i>(it's the thought that counts)</i>, but sometimes Daddy and Kids don't always hit the nail on the head with gifts. They absolutely struck gold with these two pieces. I am in LOVE!!</div>

I mentioned a week or so ago about having a hard time finding quality maxi dresses. Of course, one of my favorite stores came through and I found the <a href="http://rstyle.me/~5eegz" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>perfect black one</b></a>. Thank you, Old Navy. I don't think I have shopped there this much in all my life. I know that sometimes it's not always the "cool" thing to have the same pieces as everyone else, but Old Navy has such great basics that you can make them all your own. Remember when I chatted about<a href="http://www.shannasaidso.com/search?q=%23myownoldnavy" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b> this last time</b></a>? #myownOldNavy Plus, ALL their <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/2u52bjcfw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>dresses and skirts are now on sale for up to 40% off</b></a>! </div>

Anyway, I wore this outfit last week in California and recreated it for the blog. Yep, it's an old trick us bloggers are known for...if we didn't get an outfit photographed the day we wore it, we just throw it on again. Viola. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I have been wearing my <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/xq46ijcfw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>beaded tassel necklaces</b></a> on the regular. They are fun to layer with other styles as well...<a href="http://www.shannasaidso.com/2015/05/old-navy-twill-drawstring-pants-spring-2015.html" target="_blank"><b>like I did here</b></a>. If you are looking for a few summer necklaces to add to your collection, I definitely recommend grabbing one or three of these. </div>

I am still in the process of catching up on sleep from Memorial Day weekend, my quick trip to L.A. and birthday weekend. I am not complaining. The last week or so has been one for the books! I knew that May was going to end with a bang! I am still trying to comprehend that we have hit June and summer break officially begins in three days! I feel like we were ringing in the new year just a few weeks ago. </div>

I came across <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/2tumbjcfw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>this "dress" from Sheinside</b></a> a few weeks back and was sold on the embroidery, tribal print and that it was chambray material. Little did I know, it was going to be a wee-bit short on my 5'7 frame. Even though I was hoping to style it as a dress, I am just as pleased that I was able to transform it into a tunic top. I think it is the perfect length for a swimsuit cover up too. If you are 5'5 or less, I feel confident you could get away with wearing it as a dress. It is very well made and and super comfy. </div>

It's been a crazy-fun whirlwind over the last few days. I am just happy that I could squeeze in some pics of this outfit from my trip to L.A. I seriously felt like Miley Cyrus and have been singing "Party in the US" for the past 2.5 days. I promise to share more of why I visited soon. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Let's just say I need my bed, family and am ready to celebrate my birthday this weekend. Another year older, but another year wiser! :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's insanely late or early...whatever you want to call it. Short and sweet today. Thanks for following along on Instagram, for the comments and emails this week. My internet & social media buds are the best!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Have a great weekend and thank you for your patience. :) xoxo</div>

P.S. This skirt is sold out, but I linked to a couple faves below from <a href="http://chicwish./" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>Chicwish.</b></a> They seriously have the BEST skirts ever!! I may or may not own at least FIVE!!</div>

I am packing up for a quick trip to Los Angeles. Of course, I am doing it last minute, in between dinner, homework, baths, bedtime and blogging. I swear, you would think I would have learned my lesson by now. Some things will never change. </div>

Since my mind is a little all over the place and I have to catch a flight, today is just going be about this boho inspired outfit that might be one of my favorites. Sometimes I wonder if this style is too "young" for me, but I keep gravitating towards it. Maybe it's just me yearning to be a free-spirit and not stress so much about every detail going on in life. </div>

Anyway, I wore this <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/2fcwpjcfw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>macrame trimmed top</b></a> last week for the Eagles concert. I styled it with my cowboy boots and skinny jeans and posted <a href="https://instagram.com/p/24gYH4yK5w/?taken-by=shannasaidso" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>a "selfie" on Instagram</b></a>. This time around, I paired my <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/xun7ajcfw" target="_blank"><b>favorite flare denim</b></a>, <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/xx4r5jcfw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>wedges </b></a>and <b><a href="http://rstyle.me/n/2dbv6jcfw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">floppy hat</a> </b>for more of a boho vibe. </div>

see and read every single comment on both my blog and social media

P.S. My old URL <b><a href="http://www.becauseshannasaidso.com/">www.becauseshannasaidso.com</a> </b>is
MINE again!! After many tears and undying determination, it's back in
my possession. The new domain that was updated when all the mess
happened will stay the same, but if you search for my old one you should
be redirected. If not, it should update soon. Yay!! Thank you <a href="https://www.highnotedesigns.com/" target="_blank"><b>Lisette</b></a>
for all your help!! If you need a web designer, she is your girl! She is
pretty much a genius when it comes to all the behind the scenes

We just got back from the coast yesterday. We spent the last four days on the beach, in a boat, by the pool or grilling on the deck. It was much needed rest and relaxation. I was so sad to pack it up yesterday. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I mentioned on Friday that I was praying the rain would hold out and it did...for the most part. We had some crazy storms early Sunday morning, but the sun came out and we were able to spend most of our extended weekend outside in the sun! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I put together a beach essentials guide in case you have any plans for heading to the sand over the next few months. Even if you don't have the ocean on your calendar, everything mentioned below is a necessity when it comes to summer relaxing. I personally own all of the items or very similar ones...except for the <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/2mysdjcfw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>watermelon cooler bag</b></a>, but I am literally dying over it. I guarantee it will be a conversation starter. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Here are the details and more of an explanation about a few of my must have suggestions. </div>
</div>
<div style="position: relative; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="position: relative; text-align: justify;">
If you are looking for a cup that literally will keep ice for HOURS in the hot sun, you have to invest in a <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/2my3wjcfw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>Yeti rattler.</b></a> Every single one of us had one this weekend. It doesn't just keep cold drinks cold, but it will keep coffee hot forever too. They are a little on the expensive side for a cup, but I PROMISE, they are worth every single penny. They make great gifts too...especially for Father's Day coming up. </div>
<div style="position: relative; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="position: relative; text-align: justify;">
I don't own <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/zyhwsjcfw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>this exact beach tote</b></a>, but I have <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/2myvnjcfw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>this one</b></a> by the same designer. I cannot say enough about this bag. It has been to Mexico, the pool, beach and several places in between. The quality is amazing! I came across this new style and even though I don't actually NEED another one, the color, print and raffia tassels are tempting me. </div>
<div style="position: relative; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="position: relative; text-align: justify;">
Looking for the best ponytail holders ever? <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/2myx6jcfw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>Grab this set</b></a>. They are no-slip and will not damage your hair. Plus, they look pretty cute on your wrist too!</div>
<div style="position: relative; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="position: relative; text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://rstyle.me/n/2mywfjcfw" target="_blank"><b>These sandals </b></a>have gotten lots of mileage. I got them last year and have had several friends ask me where they are from. They have held up, can be rinsed off and look like new again. In my opinion, they win best purchase for the money. </div>
<div style="position: relative; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="position: relative; text-align: justify;">
Last but not least, if you are looking to invest in a portable, bluetooth speaker, please trust me when I say that a <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/ucmckjcfw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>Bose system </b></a>is your best bet. The sound doesn't even compare to most other brands. We have had ours for several years and it works just as good as the day we got it. A day at the beach or by the pool just isn't as fun without your favorite tunes to sing along or dance to. </div>
<div style="position: relative; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="position: relative; text-align: justify;">
Okay, enough chatting, here is a little peek of pics from our beach stay. We all agreed that we will be going back sooner than later. </div>

P.S. Central Texas got hit pretty hard with floods and tornadoes this past weekend. A town about an hour from us is devastated. Hundreds of people lost their homes and many lost their lives. Please keep them in your prayers. There are lots of ways to donate whether it's supplies or monetary. My heart goes out to all that have lost. </div>

Memorial Day weekend festivities started for me yesterday. I am all about a little pre-party! :) We are hanging out on the coast with friends and family. Think beach, boats and bikinis...okay, maybe I will leave the bikinis for my girls to wear. Ha! I am just hoping the rain will hold off. We literally have gotten rain almost every single day for almost two weeks. Fingers and toes crossed we see some sort of sun. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I wore <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/z8ycwjcfw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>this Anthropologie shirt dress</b></a> yesterday while running last minute errands for our little getaway. Funny story about it...I was out and about a few weekends ago and saw a lady wearing this exact dress. I walked up to her, complimented her outfit and then immediately asked where she got it. Sometimes shopping off strangers is the way to go. Obviously, I ended up getting one for myself. You guys, it's so comfy, light, loose, has pockets and comes with a detachable slip dress. It is also available in another print. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I will say it runs big. I ended up getting an XS, so I would size down if you are interested in grabbing one for yourself. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

The Nordstrom Half Yearly sale is one of the best opportunities to grab items you've had your eye on that might be considered a "splurge" purchase, like a <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/2h8bjcfw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>designer handbag</b></a>, a<a href="http://rstyle.me/n/2hk5mjcfw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b> fun pair of shoes</b></a>, <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/2q6hjcfw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>quality sunglasses</b></a> or a <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/ejv46jcfw" target="_blank"><b>new watch</b></a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
It's also a great time to stock up on seasonal wear. I found so many super cute and affordable items that I want to add to my closet. This <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/2g4b5jcfw" target="_blank"><b>fringe bag</b></a>, <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/2g352jcfw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>pair of shorts</b></a> and <b><a href="http://rstyle.me/n/2g9v9jcfw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">paisley tank</a> </b>ranked highest on my wish list. I have also been eyeing this <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/2gywwjcfw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>Kendra Scott bracelet</b></a>, but can't decide which color to get...for the price, maybe all four! And can I tell you how long I have been lusting over <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/2hk5mjcfw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>these espadrilles</b></a>? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The sale is going on now and lasts through May 31st. Most sale items are 40% off and sizes are going fast on more popular items. Don't wait until the last minute or your favorites might be gone. It already happened to me on two pieces I was hoping to purchase and the sale JUST started yesterday.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Below are a few personal favorites or items that I thought you guys might enjoy as well...lots of summer staples like a <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/2g4b5jcfw" target="_blank"><b>fedora </b></a><i>(less than $10!)</i>, <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/2g4iujcfw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>beaded tote</b></a>, <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/2g38ijcfw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>Michael Kors watch</b></a> and <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/2g3fpjcfw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>cognac wedges </b></a><i>(that will go with almost everything!)</i>. Happy shopping!</div>

Let's just say that I had more to say today, but I got a call from Ross late yesterday afternoon telling me that I needed to find a sitter for our girls because we got last minute tickets from a friend to go see the <a href="http://eagles.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>EAGLES</b></a>!! I am not gonna lie, I almost wet my pants. They are a band I grew up listening to and have so many memories associated with their music. <a href="http://www.donhenley.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>Don Henley</b></a> has a piece of my heart. </div>

I am sure I posted at least one pic <a href="https://instagram.com/shannasaidso/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>on Instagram</b></a> last night, but because I am writing this BEFORE the show...I can't be sure. Ha! Just know, that as I am typing, I am CRAZY excited and am sure we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. :)</div>

I wore this outfit on Monday for dinner with the family and for an ice cream date with one of Logan's teachers that recently moved away. It was perfect for the "after rain" weather as things cooled down a bit. </div>

I must admit that I might be a little obsessed with printed pants....especially when they are bright, wide legged and have pockets. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
These paisley pants aren't online at Target yet, but I linked to a few similar ones I would love to add to my closet.</div>

Wide leg jumpsuits are a summer favorite. They are simple to style for relaxed days or dressed up for a night out because they truly make their own statement and do not require many accessories.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I have been gravitating to tribal prints lately and when I saw <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/z57w3jcfw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>this one-piece at Anthropologie</b></a>, I quickly added it to my cart during their Mother's Day 20% off sale. I also scooped up <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/z57wfjcfw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>this flutter top </b></a>in yellow and can't wait to style it soon. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
They only have a few sizes left in<a href="http://rstyle.me/n/z57w3jcfw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b> this jumpsuit</b></a>. I purchased a size 6 and feel like it runs true to size. I especially love the back. It added a little bit of sexiness to the mix<i> (Ross was a fan...smiley face)</i>, but covered enough to stay classy and sophisticated. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Sometimes I forget to check <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/sevxejcfw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>Anthropologie's online store</b></a>, but recently bookmarked it because, oh my word, they have the CUTEST styles for the upcoming season. I linked some of my sale favorites below. If you stay consistent with visiting, many items go <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/v6sq6jcfw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>on sale</b></a> rather quickly. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I hope you guys had a great weekend. We have been getting a TON of rain lately. Luckily, the skies cleared on Saturday for our 5th annual crawfish boil and for Logan <i>(our oldest)</i> to finish off her championship volleyball season. Another amazing weekend with friends and family...feeling so blessed. The month of May started off a little bumpy, but I KNOW we are going to finish off the last part with a beautiful bang. SO READY FOR SUMMER BREAK! </div>

As we are heading into the summer months, vacation is on my mind. Where should we go? What should we do? Usually I imagine somewhere tropical with soft sand, turquoise water and plenty of sun.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
This summer I will be embracing #VacayEveryDay or at least several times over the season. Since renovating our backyard and pool planning, we have opted to skip out on a summer getaway this year. I am a tad bit bummed, but know that once our backyard is complete, it will be money well spent and we can enjoy our own piece of paradise every day. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Until then, you guys can find me lounging by my girlfriends' pools, on the lake or in a few Texas rivers. Some fun and refreshing treats I will be icing down in the cooler are Palm Breeze Pineapple Mandarin Orange sparkling spritzers. They're easy to pack and share with friends. With their light, tropical flavors, I can close my eyes and daydream about relaxing on the beach and pretending to savor a little umbrella drink. My swimsuit cover was inspired by the citrus colors of this spritzer. Sipping on drinks that match your attire are always more fun and practical! Right?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
If pineapples and oranges aren't your cup of tea, there is a Ruby Red Citrus flavor as well. You can visit <a href="http://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/clk?id=157692843&iu=/5485/sugar.pop/track" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>Palm Breeze</b></a> for store locations near you and discover fun ideas on how to make the most of your #VacayEveryDay. Enjoy!</div>

The last couple of days have been stressful (<a href="http://www.shannasaidso.com/2015/05/old-navy-twill-drawstring-pants-spring-2015.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>see yesterday's post</b></a>). When things get tough and life hands you a few dozen lemons...you wear retro roses on your dress, right? Not always, but in this case I did. This <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/wgi52jcfw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b>floral dress from Chicwish</b></a> brightened my day. In a weird sort of way, it helped me escape from stress and have a little girly fun for a few hours. Much needed, let me tell you.</div>

I stepped away from the computer last night, took a break from doing damage control and sat on my tile floor in the hallway. I opened our storage closet, pulled out my GINORMOUS box of pictures and looked through every single one. Some were from elementary school, family vacations, prom, drill team and early college days. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Visual memories of good times, ones that took me back and reminded me, once again, what's most important, my friends and family, was exactly what I needed. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
As much as I love coming here every week, chatting it up, sharing my style and pieces of my life, I know that all of the stress that comes with having this blog will be something that I will laugh and smile about one day...another memory and chapter in life. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
For the last several years, when I freak out or things don't go my way, I ask myself this question, "Will this situation really matter five years from now?". If not, then I try and move on to greener pastures and focus on things that WILL matter in five years. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Sometimes all it takes is thumbing through pieces of Kodak paper to help you realize that everything is going to be OKAY and that life is full of both lemons and roses...even if they are on your dress. </div>
