The American Woman says HAPPY BIRTHDAY, USA!

Yeah, yeah. So it might be twenty past midnight here. But who cares? It's still 4th of July in A-H-M-E-R-I-C-A-H. And today, that's all that matters!

Since I'm such a bad American citizen, I didn't celebrate our Independence Day at all. I could at least have watched the movie Independence Day. Or maybe Team America: World Police. Anything with the United States saving the world, really.
But I didn't.
In my defence, I'm only half American. If my Mom had not been Swedish, I would have worn the outfit above all day long, I promise!

Oh, yeah. My American Woman. Isn't she lovely? I'm very proud of her. I started making just a regular outfit collage, but it was boring me to tears, so I thought: Okay, I need a pretty lady to wear these fabulous American flag print items. So, I drew her, and she turned out to be a terrific model! I'm going to call her Lucy.

Lucy is wearing stars-and-stripes litas from Jeffrey Campbell/Solestruck.com, tank top from Romwe.com, bowtie as hair bow from wildties.com, Runwaydreamz vintage denim shorts from singer22.com, heart-shaped sunglasses from Topshop and socks from an unknown brand. I'm pretty certain both her parents are Americans. She is, that's for sure!

Hope all you yankees out there had a fabulous 4th of July!
