Spring is in the air, which means warmer weather and flirty tops are officially the perfect combination, even in the Midwest. People in Chicago already seem to be happier and a little kinder this time of year, and recently I’ve been greeted by many more smiles than frowns on my morning commute than the months before. Lets just cross our fingers that the weather keeps cooperating, eh?

There have been so many good trends this season, and one of my favorites are bow sleeved shirts, like this pretty shirt I picked up from Club Monaco a few weekends back {you can see the full look here!}. I’ve been gravitating towards anything with a bow {be it on the sleeve or not}, so when I found this shirt, I couldn’t resist the urge to bring it home with me – sometimes you gotta splurge on something you fall head over heels for, right?

And now that bow sleeved shirts are on my mind, I’ve been finding so many pretty options I’m hoping will make it into my closet sooner than later – especially in pretty pastel colors like the blues and pinks below. Now if only I could magically find myself a money tree so I could add all of them to my closet 😉

Here are a few of my favorite bow sleeved picks currently in my online shopping bag: 

In other news, I’ve been doing a few more shopping rounds ups than before {mostly because I’ve been finding more and more trends I’ve been loving these days!} and I’d love to know if you’re a fan, or if you find them boring – really, tell me how you feel because I can’t take it.

I’ve also been thinking that I desperately need to put together a survey to see what kind of content you fine folks like, so be on the lookout for something in the next few weeks! Sometimes it’s hard when blogging just feels like you’re talking to yourself {and my mom, because she is a national treasure and reads CS everyday, haha} – so I’d love to know your unbridled totally honest thoughts to make Charmingly Styled even better and more interesting for you. I could always use some constructive criticism – or just a note saying hi, that’s always nice too 😉 xx
