i was that girl








Outfit
Top: H&M
Shorts: Forever 21 $12.99 fashion STEELE!
Shoes: Jessica Simpson Dany Platform
Bag: Won at LF Stores JC Shoes Event

I won this bag at the LF Stores JC Shoes event. It is the perfect summer bag from the launch of Girls We Hated In High School handbags. Funny because I was actually that girl that a lot of girls didn't like. Not so much in high school but definitely in middle school.
I got in tons of fights because of it.
I got picked on a lot for the gap between my teeth.
Middle school was the most miserable time of my life and I'd never want to go back there.
Girls can be pretty mean.
To all the girls who hated me..I just want to say...look at me now!!

    Middle was horrible for me too...I was plain,smart and didn't care about being popular. ugh...high school was much better because I hung out with upperclassmen. lol! Great outfit!

    I loved your fashion feature on "Oh to be a Muse"! You have great style and that's probably where all that middle school jealousy stemmed from!

    Congratulations on embracing your own style and having the confidence to flaunt it!

    Super cute style! Visiting via Oh to Be a Muse :)

    Those girls that picked on you must have been insecure about themselves so they were mean to you to try to make themselves feel better. Boo to them!
