Ooops America
It was the day after the epic Women's March and I was feeling bad about the (not so) United States. This cool 1970s black cotton canvas dress had an oddly split pit so I got a Rolling Stones tee shirt from the Voodoo Lounge tour (it was a replica! Am not insane), cut out a patch of the Stars & Stripes tongue, blanket stitched it over the hole, and embroidered a little message beneath.
What have you done, America?
