{GBF Style How To} Dressing up a White Tee and Denim Shorts

I spent Sunday afternoon in Santa Monica attempting to cascade in my roller blades. After sinking to the ground more times that I'd like to admit, I changed back into my Soludos, raised the white flag, and and walked over to Third Street Promenade to soothe my bruised gluts with some retail therapy. I wore my Old Navy white tee and cut-off shorts for my short-lived roller girl moment as it's the perfect summer beachside uniform. Not only is the outfit comfortable for all kinds of beachy activities and shenanigans, it's also the perfect canvas for a little dressing up action in case your day doesn't end at the beach.

After the blading and the shopping, I met up with friends for dinner at Border Grill (the grilled fish taco with homemade tortilla and green corn tamales are my favs). Instead of changing into another outfit for dinner, I simply dressed up my tee and shorts with a tailored tweed coat from Zara, my new strappy red heels from boohoo {dead ringer similar}, and a soft yet eye-catching crystal necklace. I live for effortless and easy style transitions!
