Summer is here, HOORAY! Summer is my favorite season for many reasons one of them being fashion, which is so light, beautiful, bright and breezy. For today's post, I would like to share a few summer trends that I am in love with already.

Keeping in mind that the Christmas season is all about giving and receiving, we've put together a 2015 Holiday Gift Guide that features a variety of items all priced at $25 and under. Not only are they affordable, but these items are essential to every woman's life. An added bonus, is that each of these items is small enough to fit into a stocking too!
So whether you're looking for ideas of what to put on your own wishlist or you're on the hunt for the perfect present for a friend or family member, you can't go wrong with these suggestions.
I mean, who doesn't love a good mug?! Nowadays there are so many to choose from. Some feature inspirational quotes, while others are printed with cute graphics. Some are made for hot drinks on-the-go, while others are made to be sipped from home. With a little perusing, you'll be sure to find one that perfectly fits your personality.
We found these three: Francesca's | Starbucks | Target
A journal for the journey. Everyone is on a journey in life, and us women usually like to document it! From diary entries to letters to notes and more, journals are so handy -- so why not make it cute?
Barnes & Noble has the absolute best selection of journals around, including this set of Vintage Blossom ones.
Urban Outfitters has a selection of stationary as well, and this Feather Notebook is a favorite!
The best thing about candles is that it's like the gift that keeps on giving! Seriously, it can change the mood and atmosphere of a whole room, over and over and over again ... until it burns out, of course.
What you may not know is that the Dollar Tree sells Skittle-scented candles (best idea ever). If you thought you loved eating Skittles, wait 'til their scent fills the room. (We are not responsible if this gift makes you hungry though!)
On the other hand, Bath & Body Works is the go-to for all things scent-related. From body wash, to lotion, to candles, they have it all -- both in quantity AND quality. The Vanilla Bean Noel candle is timeless. While it is fitting for the holidays, it is one of those scents that never gets old.
Lotion -- it's a triple threat that helps you smell good, look good, and feel good. It helps alleviate dry, rough, and itchy skin, so say goodbye to those days and hello to an array of scented lotions.
As mentioned before, Bath & Body Works is the ideal place to shop for scents, and this Warm Vanilla Sugar gift set includes lotion, body wash, and hand sanitizer for a great value.
Ulta, on the other hand, is the prime place for all cosmetic-related shopping. Their OPI Body Lotion set comes with 6 different scents. This set will accommodate anyone, whether they just want to switch scents daily, or try a bunch out until they find the one they love best.
The secret to buying wallets: purchase a wallet that's cheap enough, so that once you've bought it you'll still have money left over to keep in it. That's why we searched for two versatile and affordable wallet options from Charming Charlie & Forever 21. These wallets are available in neutral colors, so that they can match with any purse.
Big necklaces and graphic-faced watches are so in this year. Why spend loads of money on ever-changing accessory trends?
Wal-Mart can help you make a statement with a necklace like this bold Pearl Cluster one. They have a great selection of statement necklaces ranging from $5-$15. You'll be sure to find an accessory as unique as you or a friend.
Charlotte Russe and Rue 21 both have an assortment of watches, each one featuring a different face. This Flower Garden watch is just $7! By searching "watch" in their search-bar, you'll find a large variety ranging from quotes, to patterns, to pictures and more!
After reading our Holiday Gift Guide, we hope you've been inspired for both wish-list making and gift-giving!
Loose fitting, free flowing clothing has become a popular style these days. This trend is flattering on most body shapes and provides maximum comfort. For today's article, Destiny models this ever so popular loose fitting, flowy look! We have broken down her outfit piece by piece and found some similar items for you to purchase!

The length of her basic white tank is ideal because it falls just past her waist-line. Draped over her tank is a floral kimono featuring a lace hem. The light-weight layering is perfect for those breezy summer days because it lets air travel through the material.
| White Tank: Cotton On - $15 |
| Kimono: H&M - $20 |
[ B O T T O M S ]
Destiny's skinny jeans are cuffed at the ankles (cuffs are a trendy way to hide the fact that you can't find the perfect-length pants), and feature rips along the pant legs for a distressed look.
The Forever 21 model's pant length fit her perfectly in these similar jeans, so wearing them with and without cuffs looks good. When shopping, finding the right pant length is all about availability and preference!
| Ripped Jeans: Forever 21 - $25 |
[ S H O E S ]
Tan strappy shoes with a cork wedge are a closet-staple! Summer shoes like Destiny's are so versatile that they can be paired with anything! Although she wears it with jeans and a cute top, you could also wear them with a cute romper or summer dress. These Charlotte Russe wedges are similar in style and color palette, but rather than cork wedges, there's a braided hemp.
| Wedges: Charlotte Russe - $35.99 |
[ A C C E S S O R I E S ]
Destiny's bronze owl pendant necklace is the kind of accessory that matches any outfit with a neutral color palette. We were able to find the SAME necklace that Destiny wears, and luckily for you, this necklace is so popular that we've seen it in other stores such as Etsy, Amazon, and even Wal-Mart!
| Necklace: Claires - $12.50 |

Summer is just around the corner and before you know it, you'll be tanning poolside (enjoying the sun) and making memories to last a lifetime! So here are two affordable summer trends that will help YOU look fabulous while doing it.
1. White Pants: The white pant trend can be worn in a variety of ways. Walmart's skinny dress pant is great for a summer job or internship; Forever 21's joggers are comfy for a casual day out with friends; and Target's palazzo pants make a bold statement and can be dressed up or down.
Walmart | Forever 21 | Target
2. Flower Crowns: These cute hair accessories make us ladies feel extra feminine and fairy-like! They come in subtle styles with small flowers or even giant head-turning arrangements. Flower crowns are most popular for a trip to a summer festival, but they definitely can be added to any outfit to conceal a bad hair day.

Whether you're working with a $5 budget or have loads of money to dish out, investing in these two summer 2015 trends will make for priceless photo-ops!
The best summertime outfits are the ones that are quick and easy to put together and throw on for those last-minute plans. We think Annie illustrates this idea perfectly, and oh-so-adorably.
We love pretty summer looks that are low-maintenance. Hair is probably best when kept as natural as possible since heat usually equals frizz! Minimal makeup is also a good idea. This season is the best time of the entire year to let your natural beauty shine and let those sun freckles make their grand appearance. Really all you need is a little powder and a few swipes of waterproof mascara.
We are all about fun accessories here at Top Buttons and love the idea of a few stackable bracelets to subtly dress up an outfit. Right now, we are obsessed with Cotton On's foundation bracelets. They're only $1-$2, which makes stacking them affordable, and best of all, 100% of the proceeds get donated to Cotton On's charity.
Muscle tees add a little edge to a look. Stay comfy and covered by throwing on a bandeau top when choosing a top with sides that dip slightly.
The casual take on denim that is super hot right now is a cute cuff at the bottom. Make sure your jeans are skinny enough so that the cuff is hugging the leg! Converse (Annie is rocking white Chuck Taylors) is a perfect comfortable throw-on sneaker that is fun and timeless.

Zendaya Coleman made her way to fame in 2010 on the Disney Channel hit show called Shake It Up. Airing in 30 minute episodes, the show follows the friendship of two teenage girls: Rocky (Zendaya Coleman) and CeCe (Bella Thorne). This dynamic duo is best known in the show for both their passion for dancing and their funky mix-and-matched fashion choices.
These ladies are just as trendy in real life too! Let's take a glimpse specifically at Zendaya's street style.
Zendaya is often seen wearing boyfriend jeans (as pictured above). Blogger Sincerely, Jules captured Zendaya's look PERFECTLY in her celfie shirt and boyfriend jeans. Check out how you can accomplish a style similar to both Sincerely, Jules & Zendaya.
Here, Jules puts a fun twist on the selfie trend with her loose-fit "CELFIE" graphic tee. It's simple with its black-on-white text to tee combo and slouches over her boyfriend jeans.
Her jeans feature distressed rips, a baggy fit, and are cuffed at the bottom. Along with their cute look, boyfriend jeans are such a favorable trend because they are COMFORTABLE , leaving room to move and breathe. Jules successfully rocks the layered look by tying a camouflaged utility jacket around her waist.
Playing on the tomboy look, with her loose-fitting clothes and camouflage accents, she still keeps it classy and girly with her shoes and accessories: Wayfarer frames, a polka-dotted cross-body purse, and her Valentino-inspired pumps (which is our favorite).
Here's Where to Purchase Everything:
Target: Celfie Shirt | Sincerely, Jules: Celfie Shirt
Valentino Inspired Pumps (Check out our article for more info on the Pumps)
Here are other looks by Zendaya Coleman that we absolutely adore:
Dresses are the highlight of my spring and summer. Not only are they feminine, lightweight and comfortable, they are a complete outfit. That simplifies my “getting ready” process along with being easy on my pocketbook. No more expensive, complex layering, warmer days have arrived! Since Easter is fast approaching, we thought it would be the perfect time to round up some of our top picks for dresses, ALL under $40.
Forever 21, $29.90
Old Navy, $36.94
Forever 21, $22.90
Old Navy, $34.94
Forever 21, $22.90
Happy browsing ladies! Let us know if you find a dress that catches your eye.
Happy Styling,
You may look at this outfit and question how black or leather are spring trends, but the truth is that they are classic looks. Black can never go out of style, no matter what season; and leather is one of those trends that comes and goes but you can be confident that it will always come back. The main spring piece in this outfit is the emerald green lace dress. Bright colors are a must for spring! Check out Alexis' thrifted look below.
Believe it or not, but this entire outfit was thrifted! Some people are surprised when I show up in an outfit where every piece is second-hand, but I like to be living proof that you can dress for success without going broke getting there!
This emerald green lace SHIFT dress was just $3.50 at Salvation Army during their weekly 50% off Wednesday sale, and my jelly wedge shoes were $4 thrifted there too. They both even came NEW WITH THEIR ORIGINAL TAGS!
The leather leggings were a $7 investment from Platos Closet– a second-hand clothing store that sells gently used name brand items! The classy cameo earrings are a vintage-inspired gift from a friend. Lastly, although the white oversized handbag is Jessica Simpson brand, it was actually found for a couple bucks at Goodwill.
My ENTIRE OUTFIT totals to about $20, but it makes me feel like a million bucks!
Unfortunately because all the items are thrifted, we can't link back to the original ones, but here's a few similar looking pieces:
Emerald Green Dress Macy's Price: $89 | Thrifted Price: $3.50
Leather Leggings Macy's Price: $7-22 | Thrifted Price: $7
Jelly Wedge Shoes Lulu's Price: $28 | Thrifted Price: $4
Cameo Earrings Overstock Price: 20 | Gifted Price: FREE White Handbag Forever 21 Price: $20 | Thrifted Price: $4
TOTAL SAVINGS: About $150
I encourage you to flip through some positive fashion magazines and our Instagram feed to get your latest inspiration on fashion, make a list of the items you want in your wardrobe, and go on a thrift shop hunt to find them! When purchasing the items for this look, I knew there were a couple things I wanted: jelly shoes, a statement purse, and leather leggings. The lace dress was an added bonus!
Genesis Rosario & Jennifer Suarez are two university students with a passion for fashion and an aptitude for adventure. We had the privilege to document a day in their lives out and about on a windy Tampa afternoon.
Get the scoop on where they purchased all the adorable clothing items they used to put their one-of-a-kind outfits together.
The SECRET to Jenny's outfit is that her tutu skirt is actually a DRESS from Forever 21. Spaghetti strap tops aren't her favorite, so she cleverly paired it with a cute graphic tee from Old Navy.
"I decided to tie a knot on the side to tone down the look," says Jenny.
Her Peep-Toe shoes, gifted Silver Necklace, and Stacked Pearl Bracelets are all from Forever 21 also!
"I love the look because it's super girly but it's versatile enough to make it a little less dressy simply by pairing it with a tee," Jenny adds.
To see more of Jenny's style and read about what runs through her mind, check out her blog here!
"My outfit is a really comfy and neutral combination," says Genesis.
She wears a Black Leather Jacket from Forever 21 that features zippered pockets with a silky inner lining!
Her cargo green pants were purchased from Aeropostale and also have zipper embellishments, which make the ends of the pants adjustable. Similar pants can also be found at Kohls.
Genesis has an extraordinary eye for thrift-shopping! Both her floral statement necklace and her striped top were from the thrift store!
"I got the Striped shirt from Goodwill and it has half-long sleeves. Its pretty soft and it has black ruffles at the end, making it look super girly," explains Genesis.
Last but not least are her dark brown Chelsea Boots from Target.
"The small heel makes it comfortable to walk and wear all day long," Genesis raves!

Not only do we love Forever 21 for the John 3:16 inscription on the bottom of all their shopping bags, but they also have extremely affordable prices. At Top Buttons, we've done all the research for you and have narrowed down their fall selection into a compiled list of 11 items that are around $15 and under.
This necklace is on sale for just $2.99. Its gold shimmer is both glamorous and functional.
This body lotion is on sale for just $1.99. Forever 21 sells a variety of scents that smell amazing and are incredibly hydrating.
This bracelet reminds us of those knotted friendship bracelets we all made and exchanged as children, but just a little more glamorous! For just $1.99, this arm candy could be yours.
We recently did an exclusive post about those trendy moto jackets that have become popular this fall, and Forever 21 offers one for $12.60 that will keep you up to date with the current trends but spare your wallet.
Everyone needs a neutral scarf to keep warm and spice up a plain outfit. This scarf is $8.80 and comes in multiple colors. The fringe adds a nice edge.
Want to accomplish a perfect bun? A bun donut will do the trick. Forever 21 offers a diverse array of sizes for $1.90, depending on your preference.
Burgundy is one of the prime colors of fall, and it is especially great for accessorizing with items like beanies, leggings, or scarves. This beanie can be purchased for $3.90 or 2 for $6.
Why not get some burgundy leggings to match your beanie? Forever 21 sells these knit leggings for $3.80 in eight different colors. They're a very essential staple to pair with an oversized shirt or dress.
Want a little bit of edge to add to your outfit? Try this bangle set, which is only $1.99 right now. The stud and pearl combination is a contradiction of sweet and tough.
Sweater or cardigan -- whatever you call it, at Top Buttons we think that you just can't have enough of them! They're a convenient way to both cover your shoulders and keep warm. This particular one is sold for $13.80 in three different colors.
These may be the most affordable and flexible pair of jeans you could ever own. This pair is $7.90. (Alexis owns several pairs of these.)
For your convenience, we took a screenshot of what all these items would tally up to in your Shopping Bag on Forever 21, which is only $53.95. If you divide that by 11 items, that averages to less than $5 an item!

On April 10-12, The Church of Rockford First hosted an event called Original Women's Conference where nearly 2,000 ladies were in attendance. This three day span of time was jam-packed with several sessions centered around God's Ever & Always kind of love.
Enjoy this brief recap video as seen on the Original Conference website.

Top Buttons had the honor of bringing a fun and dynamic team of ladies to this conference.
After a long morning of travels on Thursday April 10th, our TB team went straight to the conference site at Rockford First to set up our promotional booth.
We not only offered information about our organization, but we also sold hand-crafted button earrings and consignment clothing. All proceeds went straight to the Top Buttons' fund.
Our booth was conveniently located right next to the Teen Room so tons of young ladies were constantly stopping by our table. In addition, we neighbored another amazing organization called Sak Saum. They sell a variety of hand crafted accessories in efforts to raise money to fight against human trafficking. "Sak Saum exists to set captives free through rescue, restoration, rehabilitation and transformation," says their website.
Night one's sessions kicked off the conference with inspiring every lady to make a "In It For Good" commitment to Christ. Just as lover's forever latch locks onto Lover's Lock Bridge in Paris, each lady was provided with a lock and key to initial and forever lock upon fences labeled In It For Good.

Day two held just as many adventures as day one. We came across so many stylish ladies, we just had to document their outfits. Here's just a few:
Sarah (pictured top right) was visiting Rockford on a pastor's wives retreat when she came across this red Jones New York maxi dress. She shared with us that she wasn't purchasing anything new for a whole year, so it was to her luck that our items were all consignment. Scared that the red dress might clash with her hair, she tried it on anyways and came out glowing with excitement. It was made for her!
When night two finally came, our Top Buttons team had the opportunity to speak about fashion and modesty at the scheduled After Party in the Teen Room. Each team member passed out book marks with pictures and information on where to purchase key items in their outfit.

We loved connecting with so many new friends over common interests like our love of God and fashion. Amanda (pictured below in the hat) recently started her own consignment shop called Worth Royalty where her goal is to provide an affordable and appropriate shopping option that shows young women that they are worth royalty.

Day three included life-changing sessions; last-minute sales; and lots of coffee, good-byes, and travel.
Our very own Molly Dodd and Alexis Gauthier got to meet and hand deliver custom button earrings to one of the guest speakers named Charlotte Gambill.
For outfit details on what our Top Buttons' team wore to the After Party, here's the scoop:

Taylor Murray fashioned what she likes to call a "Tomboy-meets-Feminine" look! Growing up, Taylor always leaned toward her tomboy tendencies, however, as she's matured, she's learned to incorporate her unique flair and sophistication to create a wardrobe similar to this outfit.
To purchase key items from Taylor's look:
Blazer | Boyfriend Jeans | Silver Necklace | Tortoise Watch
[divider_line]
Betsie Amendola keeps it simple by representing her every-day "Tribal Print-Chic" look. On a typical day, you can find Betsie wearing neutral colors paired with over-sized sweaters to stay versatile and comfortable. Betsie loves shopping at Ross because it offers a more affordable selection of trendy name-brand clothes.
To purchase key items from Betsie's look:
Aztec Cardigan | Riding Pants | Bangles | Wedges
[divider_line]
Alexis Gauthier's style changes almost as swiftly as her moods. To let you all in on a secret, for this "Classic Black & White" look, Alexis actually purchased all her items at thrift stores! Her black jumpsuit was 50% off at Salvation Army, which tallied up to about $3. While on Spring Break, a white blazer made it to the top of Alexis' Spring Must Have list, so she quickly grabbed this one off the Goodwill racks for just $6. Thrifting may take a little extra time, but with the added effort you can get current trends (as linked below) for just a fraction of the cost.
To purchase key items for Alexis' look:
There you have it! Three completely different styled looks from the hearts of the Top Buttons team to yours!

All in all, attending the Original Women's Conference in Rockford, IL was a magical experience. From the performances, to the decor, to the sermons and worship, every detail was intentionally taken care of. Our Top Buttons team had such a blast attending the sessions, representing at our booth, and even speaking to the ladies in the Teen Room at their Friday night After Party.
We had a blast, left feeling empowered, and want to encourage all of you to be at the Original Women's Conference in 2015!
Spring has arrived in all of its glory. What better way to celebrate than with some bright colored earrings! With statement earrings being a major trend for spring, these beauties from Forever 21 are a perfect way to add a pop of color to your outfits.
These pink drop earrings are sophisticated, feminine, and glamorous. If $8.80 wasn't already a steal they have recently been marked down to $5.99 for Forever 21' s spring sale.
These teal drop earrings are trendy, fresh, and fun. They are inexpensive and in my book a great way to spend $5.99.
Ushering in the season with colorful accessories is a great way to start transitioning your wardrobe to happier, vibrant colors.
This summer, you don't need to put away all your scarves and wait for winter to come again. Wearing a scarf in summer is totally acceptable, as long as you pick a season appropriate material and color - wouldn't want any wool plaid, now would we? Check out this helpful video from Nordstrom's about fun ways to use your scarves this summer:
Now that you've got the skills, you need the perfect scarf for summer! Luckily, we've found a few to choose from -

Normally we use this post every week to talk about a trend or style coming up for spring and summer, but today we're going to talk about a line of clothing that is beautiful and affordable- Love 21. This line comes from Forever 21, and is formally called "Love 21 Contemporary" and on top of just being the contemporary line, it's also better understood by the fashionistas who love F21 as the slightly "bigger" line. By this we mean, Love 21 clothing is a half-size larger than the Forever 21 equivalent. But whilst perusing the website, the things we noticed were that Love 21 clothing is just a touch more modest. Of course, like it's parent line it sells crop tops and bodycon dresses, but other items that it sells - dresses, for example - are longer and looser fitting. So today we'd like to spotlight some adorable pieces you can find at Forever 21 - just look for the Love 21 label!
DROP-WAIST DRESSES
We're loving this upcoming spring/summer trend that is shying away from the form-fitting, uber short and constricting dresses of the past and looking forward to looser dresses that focus on the cool shape and style of the dress, and often the print and texture of the fabric, rather than focusing on showing off body parts!
This floral drop-waist dress is fun, chic, past fingertip length (yay!), and only $24.80
This lace drop-waist dress combines loads of spring and summer trends all in one dress! Chic black & white, lace (always in style), and an affordable price - $29.80
LONGER LENGTHS
Sick of mini-skirts? Unlike a lot of teen oriented retailers, the Love 21 line carries skirts that aren't super short - but also aren't maxis!
This cute knee-length skirt keeps it classy with a fun print, and is priced at just $24.80
This button-down skirt is perfect for spring and summer, but makes a great transition piece as well! $27.80
KOOL KIMONOS
Another trend we're loving at Love 21? Sheer, breathable kimonos. Throw one over just about any outfit and you've just added come culture, class, and comfort to your outfit.
This fun and easy kimono combines a few things we love - art deco style and chevron stripes. This beauty can be found for $39.80
This sheer kimono has a fun print - and we love the way it's paired with faux leather pants and a simple tee! $19.80
Loving these trends? Try some of these as well: Contrast-Collared Button Downs, Stark Black & White, Holographic Accessories, Bomber Jackets, Fun Sweatshirts, and Smile-Worthy Shoes
We all own them, but usually try to avoid them like the plague: sweatshirts. For years, they've been seen as cheap, frumpy, uncool, and unstylish. But this Spring, with the continuation of cooler weather, we're giving you the okay - in fact, we're urging you on! - to wear sweatshirts. No longer are they plain and boring, these days they are full of all shapes, styles, and colors of fun prints, designs, appliques, and bedazzlement. We've found a handful from all your favorite stores - Forever 21, Topshop, H&M, and ASOS - that you're bound to love. So don't feel bad! When you see the temperature dropping, grab an easy but cute sweatshirt and head out the door comfy and in style! 1. Easy-As-Pie Prints
This Topshop find brings back the preppy cuteness of plaid but keeps it comfy for the chilly days ahead! $58
Another cute Topshop sweatshirt... This tropical print reminds us of summer! $58
This sweet Forever 21 find won't break the bank, but is sure to keep you styled through the chilly weather! $14
We're loving the stained glass print to this ASOS sweatshirt! $65
2. Cutesy Designs!
Not sure we can think of anything cooler than combining a geometric print with Kermit the frog. This Forever 21 sweatshirt will showcase the child in you, but still make Kermit cool as an adult. $23
Calling all inner-geeks! Let it out and show your love for superheros! This Forever 21 sweatshirt is all about Iron Man, but there are tons more just like it in different colors with different Marvel heroes on them as well! $20
This H&M sweatshirt is simple but fun with embroidery that gives the shirt a "puffy" look to it! $40
3. Exciting Embellishments
The embroidery on this Forever 21 sweatshirt is what makes it stand out. Pair this subtle sweater with colorful printed jeans and you're in for a fun & fashionable day! $14
Feeling a little edgy? The faux leather and short studs add intrigue to this simple black sweatshirt. $17
Unlike a lot of other embellished sweatshirts out there, this black Forever 21 sweatshirt ops to leave the shoulders bare of embellishment in favor of the lower half of the sleeves. How cute are these rhinestones?? Sure to add a little bling and shine a chilly day. $28
Lastly, we couldn't leave out this adorable ASOS sweater. Disney? Sheer sleeves?? Yes please! $56
Stay warm, lovely ladies!
And if you like to stay on trend, make sure you catch all our other Trendy Tuesdays! From contrast-collared shirts to bomber jackets, cutesy shoes to holographic styles, we've got you covered!
Though for some of us winter may carry on for a few more months, it's time to start thinking about transition pieces and springtime jackets! Yippee! We can almost dream of putting away our chic wool pea-coats and heading towards warmer days! Coming your way this spring - bomber jackets.
(This Topshop number is fresh and fun for spring!)
But unlike WWII days, this retro look has stepped it up a notch. This spring look for bold patterns, fun prints, and exciting textures - lace, leather, satin, and everything in between!
Coming fresh off the runway from Marc Jacobs, Tracy Reese, and Alexander Wang, bomber jackets are ditching the old wool lining and picking up new sophistication with mesh detailing, perforated leather, and sweet silky prints - perfect for toning down a dressy outfit or adding a sporty (yet girly) vibe to daily jeans.
While we love designer pieces, and even these jackets found from J. Crew and Topshop (and who wouldn't?!) Who can afford the steep prices that come with them?
Both of these bomber jackets from Topshop (leopard found here, foil print found here).
Luckily, Forever 21 is forever there to save our wardrobes. With a plethora of adorable - and affordable - bomber jackets, this trend will not only keep you cute, but keep your wallet happy too!
This leopard print bomber is comparable to the topshop jacket seen above, but without the steep $160 price tag.
This fresh Geo-print bomber jacket is light enough to stay with you as the seasons change and the air gets warmer.
We're loving this fun twist on the bomber jacket - classic leather body, but cool, cute lace sleeves! Find it at Forever 21 - and bonus points for being under $40!
Stay trendy, ladies!
In our TB fashion posts, we will still be showing off some styles for cooler weather, BUT we have to face the facts! Spring has sprung according to the groundhog! Therefore, now is a great time to break out those white jeans that you have been sobbing about not being able to wear since Labor Day!
Pair them with a cute pink pastel shirt and another solid color jacket for a business casual look great for school, work, or play! Below are the links to find these items at the right price.
For the shoes, I would pair something that would tie in the color in the jacket, like these adorable peep toe wedges.
For accessories, to me less is more. I like these adjustable bracelets because they are inexpensive and they come in so many varieties.
Jacket | Jeans | Top | Belt | Shoes | Bracelet
All of these items were found at Forever21.com. Forever 21 is a popular store with lots to offer, but not all items are TB worthy. We will provide our modest picks from this store and others like it with our "OOTW" posts!
