I am sooo indie... just look at my American Apparel (Independent [Independence Day] Fashion)

I am done with summer classes! So exciting! Now that I am done with exams I can finally do an outfit post (even if the title is a mixture of bad puns thrown together to make an even worse joke)! Even though I spent the holiday weekend studying I did get a chance to wear a 4th of July outfit when Jordan and I went to get breakfast at around 8 in the morning. Holiday outfits are actually not my sort of thing and I am not a fan of garments with flags on them (unless it is from Balmain),  but why not show off my DIY American flag tanktop (that I actually wore in my Saturday and Elin Kling outfit post) on the one day where I can wear it and not feel like a poser version of a 'cool-kids-cant-die' girl from Australia? Seriously, they wear American flags better than any American and they have been doing it for ages/do not look offensive because they are Australian so it is not associated so much with that whole American Apparel-Urban Outfitters hybrid (I am not against either of AA or UO, my cardigan is from UO) meets NASCAR look. I hope everyone had a lovely holiday weekend wherever you are from! Later!

Saturday and Elin Kling

On Saturday morning Jordan and I went to get a latte and a soy latte at Balthazars. On the way there I ran into/met Elin Kling who is quite nice and beyond pretty. It was the first time I have ever been star struck I think. I was in so much shock I probably seemed completely weird... très ew. But it did not last long, soon Jordan and I were back to drifting our way into Soho in need of lattes. 

I wore my american flag tank, jeans from J Brand, and Marc by Marc Jacobs leopard print flats.
