God Bless America

I have been thinking a bit lately, about the American flag print trend.
I would have to be blind and living under a rock if I was going to say I had just noticed it. As it has be on the uprise for quite some time.
I ain't gonna lie either, I happen to have American flag shorts, jeans and top and if my savings were not diminishing rapidly with every passing day I would love to get myself the flag print Jeffrey Campbell Lita's.

I though I would work the flag at Supafest back in April. I initially purchased the top for Halloween last year as I was planning on dressing up as Lady Gaga in her 'Telephone' music video.

 Now what I have been thinking about, is how the American flag print comes across so hip and fashionable, whereas I cannot imagine the Australian flag having as much fashionista appeal.

 Don't get me wrong, I am as patriotic as the next person, but to me the Australian flag print is something we all sport on Australia Day at a BBQ with our thongs (flip flops) and our beer. If I saw some girl at a club trying to work some Aussie flag leggings, i'd think she looked like an athlete training for the olympics or something. Hmmmmm.

But hey, if Jeffrey Campbell made Australian flag Lita's I'm sure they would be fierce as hell and I'd want 10 pairs.
