I was never a sporty person, though I wish some of my future kids would be.
The only ones I knew (past tense because those "skills" have been repressed longer than I can remember) how to play were badminton and swimming--both were forcibly imposed by my parents just to get me outdoors on summer breaks. But a sport that I really find cool ("cool": looks fun but I don't really know the rules) is football. There's something so attractive about the jersey top uniforms of international football teams (e.g. Brazil). So when I saw this watermelon-print cropped top from Romwe, I didn't think twice of spending my blogger points for it. It looks like one of those shirts that football players wear, just more girly and summer-y and I just feel extra sporty today.
Since I'm not comfortable with belly appearances, I paired the cropped top with high-waisted leggings from Ohkayganda Boutique. I believe that dressing up is like cooking. You have to know what ingredients and mixtures work for you to achieve a pleasing blend. In this case, the cropped top + high-waist bottom combo perfects balance and compensation.
Of course, this leopard print wristwatch from Born Pretty Store is a favorite because it could stand out and blend in at the same time. It goes true with this handbag from Mindanao. Both have patterns quite dissimilar with the rest of the outfit but when put together, they all look like they were made to belong there.
