A Small Encounter at Starbucks
I ordered a cup of coffee. A young woman was wearing a green apron over a red shirt.
I thought she was clearly going for a Christmas look. So I joked, “Are you wearing the uniform of Portugal’s soccer team today?”
She smiled and said, “It’s for Christmas,” then turned around to show me the word “Christmas” written on her back.
With a cheerful smile, she asked, “Do you like soccer?”
若い女性が赤いシャツの上に緑のエプロンを着けていた。明らかにクリスマスを意識していると思った。そこで僕は冗談めかして「今日はポルトガルのサッカーチームのユニフォームを着ているの？」と言ってみた。すると彼女は「クリスマスです」と笑いながら言い、背中を向けて“Christmas”と書かれた文字を見せてくれた。そして、にこやかに「サッカー、お好きなんですか？」と聞いてくれた。

It's not clear if this woman is a Starbucks worker or another customer. I guess it doesn't matter, but you could add some words to make it clear. For example,
"A young woman behind the counter was ..."
"A young woman in line was ..."
I thought she was clearly going for a Christmas look.
So I joked, “Are you wearing the uniform of Portugal’s soccer team uniform today?”
She smiled and said, “It’s for Christmas,” then turned around to show me the word “Christmas” written on her back.
With a cheerful smile, she asked, “Do you like soccer?”

Very nice! It captures the warmth and joy of the holiday season. It seems the Christmas season starts earlier and earlier every year everywhere. :)

Thank you for your corrections. Today I am happy that it was a beautiful day.

I ordered a cup of coffee.
AThere was a young woman who was wearing a green apron over a red shirt.
The narrative flows a lot better with the additional words.
On the other hand... if I am imagining the scene right, I think the green top the young lady was wearing would be a camisole and not an apron. (An apron is more usually worn for kitchen-related tasks.)
