Boyfriend jeans are the perfect way to transition from winter to spring, and from spring to summer. Check out the video below, where we share some creative looks that use this versatile garment!

Classy Boho Style

It’s no secret that we have a deep love for bohemian style at Top Buttons. We always enjoy highlighting an outfit that’s on point whenever we spot one. It's always refreshing to see how people take a popular style and truly make it their own. There are many expressions of boho style, from ultra 70's to romantic-chic. What stands out with Katy’s outfit is that it has a distinct classy, feminine vibe to it. She’s incorporated pearl earrings into her look which adds a classic, refined feel to her outfit.

Kimono’s are more popular than ever this season. This cream kimono with lace and fringe detail is a smart investment as it is a neutral and can be worn with several different pieces in your wardrobe.

Katy’s necklace is the epitome of boho chic and her Alex and Ani bangles add a fun, care-free flare to her overall look.

Trendy and Inspiring: Taylor Madu

Farewell to the woman that I used to be. No more lies from the enemy. Bye-bye insecurity. Now I'm free, no more history defining who I am. In Your arms I'm clothed with strength and dignity.

These are beautiful lyrics from Taylor Madu's first single, You Are Life, which was initially released on iTunes. From this came a campaign that would find its way all over Instagram, Twitter, on black t-shirts with gold foil lettering and on baby onesies

Don't let Taylor Madu's beautiful blonde curls and sweet southern accent fool you– She is one hardcore lady with an edgy style. Her fiery, determined and fun spirit is portrayed through what she wears, and we love following her Instagram account (taylormadu) and getting inspiration on how to mix unexpected pieces. She's a new mother to a beautiful baby girl, released a single on iTunes with 100% of the proceeds being donated to Hope Mansion--a home for single mothers, and is a social media enthusiast.

Recently, we talked about how to rock this spring's hottest accessory, a hat (The Accessory Every Girl Needs This Spring). It's fitting that for Easter, Madu posted this picture of her adorable wide-brim hat, round sunnies (another hot accessory for spring and summer) and a playful skirt. The look above is one of her more girly, softer looks, but she throws in a cute muscle tank to add a modern edge to this look.

We also love Madu's incredible ability to rock flannels in multiple ways! Here she wears it both tied around her waist and in a jacket-style paired with distressed denim, a graphic muscle tank, killer boots and tinted aviators (trend alert).

There are a million reasons to love this powerhouse of a woman from her generous spirit to her awesome fashion sense. For more Taylor Madu-inspired looks, visit her blog here.

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.

Trendy Tuesday: Summer Scarves

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 -

Trendy Tuesday: The Bomber Jacket

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. 11B12EBLK_2_large (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!
