Today's outfit is both in support of Paraguay, the current Group F leader, and in celebration of the US team's AMAZING win yesterday. That was one of those moments that reminds me why I love football: because beauty like that happens in injury time and changes everything. I will confess that I may have teared up. Especially when Univisión showed a commercial showing all these Latinos celebrating their home team and then saying that the US team is everyone's team. Tears. I'm a baby like that.
Today's outfit had to be simple, red, white, and blue; and cool because it's about 95 degrees Fahrenheit and we don't have AC. My easy denim dress was a natural choice. I kept everything else simple: white belt, ubiquitous beaded bracelets, and red flip flops. And Kiku. Because she has to be wherever I am.
I have to say I love this look. This dress might just be the best purchase I've made in a while, and I love the easy combination of pieces. It's just right for a super steamy day.
On a different note...
This is how I watch simultaneous games, y'all: Univision.com on the computer and Univisión on tv; I don't understand football in English, isn't that weird?
I'm going to go ahead and say it: I think this Cup is going to the Americas, South America to be specific. I'm pretty pumped to see Latin America so well represented and that the US has held its own (and has a pretty easy set of matches ahead).
jejeje mira que tu si eres multi-task! You look beautiful and that dress I really want to steal it from you! It's gorgeous and so classic.
ReplyDeleteJejeje ¡Gracias! The best thing about this dress was that I found it on the clearance rack - LOVE when that happens.
ReplyDeletewell, first of all, thanks for the shout out! :)
ReplyDeletethe funny thing about listening to the games on the radio (and not watching them on TV) is that is makes me work harder, believe it or not. my boss has even said he's going to bring some mp3s with old matches, so that I can work properly when the Cup is over. I don't know why, I think I just focus on my work more, who knows? but my husband always goes on vacation during World Cups so he can watch all these games, I think I should do that too.
(omg, next Cup is going to be here, in Brazil!! some matches are going to be in my team's stadium, the same place I've been going to for years now!!! I still can't believe that :D)
I wouldn't be able to understand football in English either: how come when they narrate goals, their "goal!" is only one "o" long? no way, goals have to be narrated as "goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllllllllll" :D
your dress looks really gourgeous, and I like it how it pays homage to both Paraguay and the USA at the same time. congrats!
um beijo!
I know, goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaal should always be as long as possible! I don't know how they can do any kind of commentary in English with no emotion at all. No thanks, I'll watch in Spanish.
ReplyDeleteI keep telling my husband we should try to make it down to Brazil for the next World Cup - we'll see.... Hahaha
Love the subtle hints of red.
