Add "soccer" as an adjective, and I bristle.
Not because I am uncomfortable with the concept of mothers taking their children to and fro soccer games, but because the term's used in a dismissive way. (And women who kindly chauffeur their children are pretty bloody cool, in my mind.)
Having a son who plays soccer has opened up a world of soccer gear to me, especially soccer jerseys (I once found myself irrationally full of desire for a man's hot pink goalkeeper's jersey, with quilted elbows, size XL).
But once I come to my senses, I realize that I do not want to trot around like Sporty Spice, unless I'm actually kicking a ball.
However, for those of us who love athletic wear, Victoria Beckham has designed a terrific series of dresses that borrows stripes and collars from soccer jerseys.

YES. I was fantasizing that if I ever needed dresses, these would be the ones. You and I had all the same favorites.
Aren't they perfect? I really, really, really like these dresses . . .
I think these are some of the prettiest dresses I've seen lately. Wonder if one need be super thin to wear them, though.
