I've always been a bit of a tom boy. Then again I didn't have much of a choice...I literally grew up on football and baseball. The day I was born my dad had me with him watching the Notre Dame Football game and then the day they brought me home my dad apparently laid me down next to him and we watched the NY Giants. Yes, I am 100% a daddy's girl. I always was friends with the boys and played sports. Much hasn't changed. I like hangout with guys even though I now rather wear heels then sneakers. Just because I might have traded in my shoes it doesn't mean I traded in my love for sports. I watch football like it's a religion and love going to baseball games. I also am a fan of dressing in sports team shirts or going a little sporty with my look. This is probably why I'm a huge fan of Alexander Wang. Love the femininity with the twist of tom boy. This is also why I'm probably a huge fan of this summer's trend of "sports wear" that is fashionable. Mesh high heel shoes, Givenchy's Pre-Spring 2012, and T by Alexander Wang's neon hoodie are a couple of things that come to mind when I think Sporty Chic.

Between my new Ann Taylor knit vest (which I bought on sale) and my Urban Expressions bag from baghaus.com I couldn't help resist putting together a sporty chic look myself.
