Pity about the tourists...

When you're in New York, you have to look timelessly cool. It's just a rule.

Dead giveaways that you're a tourist include:
-dorky baseball cap from seventh grade in a very unfashionable shade of pastel blue
-massive nylon backpack...what on earth are you toting about in there? a tent?
- the 'just in case it suddenly gets cold' sweather wrapped around the waist. no one has done that since the 80s.
- The layer-cake/kueh lapis shirt. not very flattering in any sense of the word.

Altogether, this ensemble ensures that you will be ripped off at the next, nearest available convenience store/thrift shop.

I think the only thing I like are the sneakers.
