An Underground Spring Bouquet

I can't help it if I sweat my friend's style. As soon as I walked up to my pal Tina in front of Bowery Ballroom for the White Lies/Friendly Fires show, I knew I had to take her picture. This lady has managed to combine tough girl leather with soft floral without looking like a grungey extra from the movie "Singles".
