A little sporty outfit inspiration in honor of the FIFA World Cup Finals! I’m excited to watch but am a little sad that we don’t get to cheer on the USA. I haven’t decided who I am going to root for yet — I guess it will be a game time decision!

So many designers were showing athletic inspired separates for Spring ’14 as seen here. For this outfit, the crop top gives a supportive shout-out to sporty-chic with the tri-colored varsity ribbing on the bottom.

When I do sporty, I always like to mix it with a ripped boyfriend or full a-line skirt and add a heel so that I don’t look like I am just leaving the gym. If you have killer abs, you should totally try to rock the crop top sans button down, but make sure to wear a high-waisted skirt or trouser so you keep it classy!

The weather in NYC is unpredictable, and even on a sunny day I always pack a light jacket to deal with the arctic temperatures at the office or on the subway! I love the contrast of perforated leather on this jacket and the chunky front zipper. I love wearing bracelet length jacket with sleeves that are a little shorter than usual to show off my arm candy. I borrow my husband’s watch on almost a daily basis and I contrast the chunky watch with more delicate rings and bracelets.

Gotta run to catch the game!
