Signing Off...for a Week

Happy Monday!  It's a short week for me...heading to Sin City on Thursday {see what I want to wear while I am there}!

Because of my short, busy week, I am "signing off" after today...just for this week.  I figured I would take a little blogging break, since I am kid less, getting ready for my girls trip and it being Spring Break.  I will be back in FULL effect next week. 

Please come back and don't write me off!!  Everyone needs a little time-off, right?

This weekend {yesterday to be exact}, my inner country girl made an appearance at the Austin Rodeo.  The hubs and I had a the BEST time.  We are kid less this whole week, so we kicked things off with a little bull riding, margaritas, Chris Young and some carnival fun.  All I wanted was a funnel cake and a Ferris wheel ride...I scored both!  Lucky girl! 

I will have to admit, that I was not proud of my rodeo attire, hence no outfit pics today, we drove in straight from Houston and I just didn't have it together.  The rodeo outfits in my post about a week ago,{here}, were a COMPLETE failure...I ended up throwing on a pair of jeans, my Lucchese boots and a button up top...so, not camera worthy...I know...I am ALL talk and no follow through...but hey, I had fun and that is all that matters!

Here are a couple shots from our fun, no kids allowed, rodeo date night! 

I will most likely be an Instagram "over poster" once I touch down in Vegas.  If you want to follow along during my crazy girls weekend, you can find me on Instagram @becauseshannasaidso!  I would love to see all your fun pictures and adventures too!  Let's follow each other! 

Cheers to a short week, time-off and a romantic Ferris Wheel ride! {smooch-smooch}

Hitting It Big in Vegas

 It's My Friday's Fancies with av at long distance loving and we all are creating a little Spring Break fun!

Spring Break has officially started in Texas.  I don't have all of next week off, but I will be heading to VEGAS on Thursday!  I would say that counts as a mini-Spring Break.  Wouldn't you?

A bunch of us ladies are going for one of my best friend's bachelorette party.  I am sure I will posting about the trip when I get back!  I am betting {pun intended} on hitting the jackpot!!  I am feeling lucky...going straight to the Wheel of Fortune slot machine! 

So, in honor of my upcoming va-cay, I put together two different looks that I hope to {somewhat} pack in my suitcase.  I am flying with a Buddy Pass on the way there, so I can't check any luggage.  I can only can take one carry-on and small bag.  How in the world I am a going to pack everything in a small suitcase? 
Wish me luck!

My Future Stylist & Business Partner

Okay, my lady friends, I think this might be my most favorite blog post thus far...you ready?


My six-year old created this:

I almost fell out of my chair when I saw this fine piece of fashion art my little girl made at school.  I think she hit a home run by showcasing some of the latest fashion trends in her work of art!

{florals, chambray, thin belts and even boyfriend jeans}

I took her vision of Summer and came up with the round-up above.  She gave me her approval and two thumbs up!  I think she might be as proud of me as I am of her!

We make a great team, right?  She inspires and I style!  We might just have a future here! 

What do you think?

Cheers to my future stylist, business partner and possibly an early retirement!
