Stripes & Lace



Hey people! So yesterday I really liked my outfit so here's a post haha. Well, I'm just here to voice my opinion about laced clothing BECAUSE IT'S SO CUTE. It's starting to become a huge summer trend cause I'm basically seeing it everywhere and it's so obvious why it is. You can really make lace look whatever you want it to be. It can be super feminine and gentle? (what lol) or you can create a grunge look, when it's black lace, or sexy look… just go into Victoria's Secret (bowchikawowow). Personally, I think lace looks best when it's on shorts like mine here. It was love at first sight when I spotted these bad boys. Partially because they were cute but they were loose shorts too, which are becoming my favorite. Wearing jean or any tighter shorts gets so uncomfortable cause they rise up and it annoys the heck outta me. Loose shorts are awesome cause they're casual but sophisticated but most importantly, COMFORTABLE *angelic sounds*


 I actually had no idea what I was gonna wear with these shorts when I got them. I knew I wanted it to be a crop top since they're high waisted and crop tops and high waisted bottoms really compliments my figure. So when I was rummaging through my clothes I spotted this stripped shirt and that was it. It had a floral print pocket on it too like my shorts (they're a floral lace pattern). 


Then for my shoes, I slipped on my espadrilles that I bought at Target years ago. These are starting to become a thing now too which is pretty funny cause I was gonna gives them away this year. And accessorized with my satchel purse, that I bought a few years ago too, and some rings and bangles. It was a simple outfit so I didn't wanna get too crazy with the accessories, ya feels? 

And I know that I wore two different patterns in one outfit *GASP* but honestly, two different patterns don't even look bad. You just need to make sure that you're not mixing extreme patterns that have a bunch going on, like plaid. So go ahead and mix them up, it's not as bad as you think!

To Finish, this is what happens when my photographer (aka my mom lol) just always take pictures of me. Let me take you... 

BEHIND THE SCENES:

España x El Salvador


So yesterday, Saturday, my brother and I went to go see Ethpaña and El Salvador play against each other at FedEx Field in Maryland. We literally have gone to every Northeast friendly game Spain have played. Our first game was in Boston in 2011, then last year they came to the Yankee Stadium and now they came to Maryland to play before El Mundial. Gosh, I really love this team. Like it's so unconditional it makes me sick to my stomach. I HATE THAT I LOVE THEM SO MUCH.

These were the best seats we've ever had, two rows behind the field. They were the dream seats, literally. Like it said so on my ticket vvv


But this game wasn't as great as the ones I've been before. It was mainly due to the stick policies cause I had to give in my book bag that carried my cameras, wallet, headphones (that I accidentally left in there), and charger. When we were walking towards the stadium and I got in line for security, the told me "You have to put the bag back in your car" and that crushed me. My mom and aunt had dropped us off and I had no where to put my stuff. I had to take everything out and stuff what I could in my pockets and give some stuff to my brother. It sucked. On top of that, some of the fans were as obnoxious and ratchet, yes I said ratchet haha. And I've never given so much attitude at an event in my life. These people just didn't know how to act and were in the wrong seats and it just made me so aggravated. Also, us Spain fans were dominated by El Salvadorian fans. Throughout the stadium, all you saw was a sea of blue which never happen more up north. See what I mean vvv


Once I got past security and into our seats, which we eventually had to move again cause we were sitting in the wrong section (but our actual ones were even better cause we sat next to the tunnel), everything was dandy. It was just that when the players were coming and exiting, people would come squish the hell outta me and the other people that where sitting in the same area. But my brother and I got some good picture of players, I was on cloud nine (imagine if I met them face to face, yikes). 


    

 

Of course, my boys won 2 to nil and both were scored by Dah-veed Vija (David Villa). Yeah, you have to say his name in Spanish or it doesn't sound right. Here are some more snips of the game though (you can click on them to make them larger) :






There was a lot of yelling, aggravation, cheering, sweating, and shots that should have been goals (from Spain). Overall, I love watching them play every single time. I'm super excited for the World Cup now which they should be heading to now, if not they should be there. Hopefully, they can be named "World Champions" again. 

Now, before this post gets any longer, I'm just gonna write how I began loving this team so much. Well, basically Fernando Torres aka My Niño cause I feel like people should know. I think most people know how much I love him. Let me just start by blaming it on my dad haha I really didn't ask to be a fan. I remember back in 2009, before the World Cup, I was getting really into fútbol. You know, I played for my high school and all that. So before the World Cup, my dad wanted to order a Torres Spain jersey and I ordered it online for him. When it came, my dad just randomly told me "Here, you can take it." Let me make it clear, I wasn't into any international teams at this time, I just liked FC Barcelona. So I did my research on and I was starstruck. My first footballer crush was David Beckham but man, Fernando Torres was a God Among Men to me. From there on, I was hooked. I googled the Spanish National Team and Torres cause I wanted to know more about them cause I would feel foolish rockin' the jersey and not knowing much. At this time, they were claimed "The Kings of Europe" winning the Euro Cup 2008 and people had great expectations from the for the World Cup. And guess who scored the winning goal making them "The Kings of Europe" … TORRES! But I know he was going through a tough time as well with an injury, which really pushed back his skill potential. I know I was becoming one of his fans at a really tough time in his career but that didn't stop me from always rooting for him (I love him like a fan girl but defend him like I'm his mother haha). I actually think that made me become a bigger fan, just believing that he will get better cause even till this day he's having trouble being consistent in his performance. I don't even think anyone understand when I genuinely say that I love this guy, not in a typical fan girl way though. In this World Cup, I know he's gonna be able to make him mark. I have faith in him. And that is the story of my love for Torres, the rest is history!

Look how cute his smile is! Bless. 
After this game, there was a MLS match, D.C. United x Columbus Crew. I was able to shake all their hands even though I knew none of them haha and I got signatures for this kid cause I was closer. They weren't as entertaining or good. At least our hotel was awesome with free continental breakfast! Overall, it was fun to get out of Jersey for the weekend.
