We all know that the era of normcore lost its overwhelming power when personal style because the number one factor when getting dressed. Now, items are just...more. More embellishments, more sparkle, more embroidered, more unique. What makes this way of dressing fun (besides the fact that it gives you freedom to experiment and take risks) is that you can mix and match different patterns and textures. For example, Rebecca Laurey wore a fun denim jacket over a floral printed mini dress and she looks more than cool.

Although the shoe choice is typically a fall/winter favorite, there are ways to incorporate this cool-weather favorite for the current season. Need some proof?

Boyfriend jeans are meant to look as though you stole your boyfriend/fiance/husband's denim from his closet. However, with a ruffled, off-the-shoulder or cropped top, this look can go from boyfriend to your very own, easily. This model wore her boyfriend jeans with black ankle boots and a white, off-shouldered blouse. You can't go wrong with this look.

If you're in need of some fresh warm-weather style inspiration, here are two takes on what L.A. girls have been wearing this summer with some of my latest scores from The Real Real. The trick is to stay laid-back yet elevated by dressing up your tee and jeans with a printed neck scarf and designer mini bag that can be worn on the shoulder or crossbody style. Complete either look with an edgy black shoe and you're good to go. Details below...
