You know what screams America to me? Rock n’ Roll. Hair bands. METAL. What’s a more perfect thing to wear to celebrate America’s birthday than that badass Whitesnake tee that my dear friend Liz left at my house? I love wearing old band tees with another print to give them a little extra punch and interest, and because it’s too hot for jeans.

If you’re feeling like your band t-shirt days are kind of behind you, you can make yours a little more sophisticated by adding grown-up accessories to your ensemble. Think jewelry, a blazer, or….a super sharp handbag! I got this black number last week after eyeing it for months, and when the price finally became reasonable and I snatched it up. It’s my first real grown-up lady bag, everyone! AND it looks awesome with Whitesnake. We’re gonna go on tour.
