Let’s start off with our favorite BONUS one piece this summer:

The List:
Simple and Chic
First up, a pair of denim jeans and a cardigan. You can never go wrong with these two during springtime or anytime, really! A good pair of jeans is something that every LA Girl already has in her closet, so why not bring it out? Preferably light-washed denim, we can see every silhouette with this one – mom, bootcut, relaxed, baggy – paired up with a cute cardigan, tees, or even swimwear!
