She wore a Clover Canyon cropped floral top and a matching fitted skirt, perfectly accentuating her toned abs.

How’s the addition of the flat gladiator sandals to her busily printed outfit? Do you like it, or is it too much?

The athlete, who wears a shoe size 10 (US), opted for a pair from Stuart Weitzman. They’re primarily made of nappa leather, but the horizontal straps at the 15 1/4 inch shafts (except for the buckled straps on top) are elastic. The leather straps down the center and the outer sides have metal studs, while the inner sides feature full zipper fastening.
