This past weekend was anything but short of amazing. The weather was glorious (short sleeve weather), we celebrated my dad and Landry's birthday, ate at one of our favorite Austin eateries, Che Zee, acted like a little kid with Ross and some of our best friends at Top Golf and Gus came home a week and three days early. I would say this was one of the best weekends thus far in 2014 .

I have been placing an immense amount of
pressure on myself lately, stressing about anything and everything, getting worked up over small details and letting
things bother me that I really just need to release from my heart. Weekends like these ground my restlessness, are refreshingly calming, help me forget
about the small anxiety attacks I've been experiencing and
remind me of how blessed I truly am. I must stop sweating the small
stuff because the big stuff like family, celebrations, time with
friends, genuine laughter and taking time to actually breathe are what
matter most.
P.S. Don't forget to check out the $500 Boden giveaway that I posted earlier today and be sure to visit nine other gorgeous and amazing bloggers while you are at.

What a lovely weekend! Love the print on that scarf. Yay for sunny weather!
You look glow-y and happy. I love your red and blue, very patriotic. Unintentional or a subtle nod to the Olympics?

I love these pants! I have never tried the Jennifer Lopez line but I thin I need to check it out! Very cute! I am so glad your puppy got to come early! He will make your life 1,000 times more happy(: Have a great week! Susan
The Boden Everyday Shopper in Navy is very chic! I've never checked out their website before. Also? You rock this look. Saw the scarf online at Forever 21 about a week ago but hesitated to buy it. Will need to reconsider...
You do fantastic work, Shanna!

I forgot to leave my Boden favorites comments! Where do I begin? I love the Selina dress, the cropped cashmere cardigan and the button back floral sweater. My daughter has this catalog saved with several pages ear marked. They have beautiful, classic clothing! thanks! Susan
Happy you had a good weekend, it was the best one in a while for me as well. Love this tunic, I am trying so hard to stay away from Forever 21.

Oh, I'm so glad you had a good weekend and got to de-stress a little;) Yay for our February birthday girls, mine turns six the Thursday! P.S. Loving that chambray top, even if I am jealous you are in short sleeves!

I am the same way. Very anxious lately but really, not sure why. Hang in there!
And I am loving that cute scarf.
I tend to get worked up over little things too.. cleaning my house.. getting to work on time.. random things. LOVE free weekends that allow me to relax!
You look so cute here, love the causal but totally put together look! : )

I love the little details in this outfit!! The zippers inseam, the piping on the scarf, and the slight roll in the denim sleeve! I just love it!!
That is the perfect size cross body bag and I love that if not filled up too crazy it lays flat to your body.
I have to remind myself to breathe a lot. Taking two minutes for yourself and reassessing life, really does help you out. What a great reminder, thanks!!!
Love, love , love this relaxed casual look! The chambray tunic is great! Loving the pops of red too!
Have a great week!

i love everything about this outfit! It looks comfortable and pulled together and has just the right amount of American spirit (which I love in any fun outfit). I also love the fact that you're in SHORT SLEEVES! I still have way too long until it gets warm, but I'm glad you were able to have a warm and relaxing weekend!

Something about being stuck inside pushes us a little too far into our own brains for our own good sometimes. We have too much time indoors to concentrate on small things that don't matter.
Love that outfit
I love this look with all the red details! So chic!

I have been the same way lately, but realizing we need to just rewind, and relax is the first step.
We can change it if we just take that little extra breath sometimes.
You are great at everything you do. I hope your stress wears down a bit:)
Happy Monday!
Cute outfit! I'm trying to focus more on enjoying the little things too :)
Sounds like you had a fantastic weekend!! I tend to work myself up over the smallest things too. I am trying to be better about that too. You look adorable!

What a gorgeous outfit Shanna. You are definitely bringing Spring with this. The pops of red are gorgeous against the chambray. I love your scarf and crossbody bag. =)
I love the full stripy skirt in coral! I also love your outfit!!!
Glad you had a nice weekend, sounds like you needed it! I hope your stress level goes down a bit, that's no fun. LOVE those moto jeans. I was lusting after a pair from JCrew but they didn't fit me right so I am hunting again.
