"Ya ever feel like your train of thought's been derailed?/ That's when you press on- Lee nails/ Half the population's just waitin' to see me fail/ Yeah right, you're better off trying to freeze hell"- Gym Class Heroes- "The Fighter"
For today's Tunesday Tuesday, I turned to popular radio and picked "The Fighter" by Gym Class Heroes. Now I'm a Travie McCoy fan from WAY BACK, so I usually love anything he does. Every time a new single comes out, it immediately goes into heavy rotation on my radio, and this song is no exception. Add that dude from One Republic and a tear-inducing video and I am in pop music heaven! Guys, it's so good! Seriously!

Now the video and song is about being a fighter and never giving up on yourself and your dreams, so it has a great inspirational message, but the lyrics also talk about for real fighting a lot too, so it reminded me of the one "fight" I got in when I was in 7th grade. This girl KiKi just had it out for me. I don't know why. I was super meek in junior high. I mostly kept to myself, so I guess that made me an easy target Most people left me alone, but it was like it was her personal mission to make music class a living hell for me.
One day, and I tried to remember why, but I just can't, she decided we were going to fight after school. She told me to meet her at 3:00 under the flag pole out front, and if I didn't show everyone would know I was a chicken. I swear that whole day I was like a dead man walking. "This is it," I thought, "I'm going to get beaten up." I definitely didn't want to fight, I mean I fought with my little sister all the time, but I usually lost. I didn't want to fight a real person.
So.... yeah... this outfit has nothing to do with that. I wore it Saturday night and heard "The Fighter" Saturday night, so decided to combine them in a post. I've worn this recently,yes, but I added the long crocheted cardigan and some different accessories. So it's different. Don't make me beat you up!

Isnt Travie adorable?Love your feather hair clip :) Glad you lived to tell your flagpole fight story lol.
Thank goodness, I never was in a physical fight (I'm sure I would've lost, being smaller than all the other girls)! I love all your accessories in your outfit...the owl belt goes so well with the feathers in your hair :)

What a fabulous feather headband! I've seen so many in stores, but I've always been hesitant to try them. I think I'm definitely going to try one on now!

I'm such a pacifist. I had people get in my face, and once had a milk carton thrown at the back of my head, but I always walked away.
Love these summer layers, especially the little owl detail on the belt.
Kiki sucks! You look so cute - love the color of that dress, and those wedges are awesome :)

So did you meet with her at the flag pole!? I'm on the edge of my seat.
You look adorable in this dress and I love the feather in your hair.

Did you go to the flag pole at 3pm? Haha. My 13 year old brother just got into a fight at school. Some kid that just had it out for him dumped chocolate milk on his head. So, my brother tackled him. Maybe it wasn't the best way to deal with the situation, but I am pretty sure no one else is going to try to pour chocolate milk on his head.

I have to admit that I am dying to know the outcome of the fight!! You left me hanging, girl! Haha. Love that you said you didn't want to fight a "real person." My little sister fights didn't count either growing up.

Aaaaaah the flagpole!!! We had the same fighting spot at my elementary school. By middle school I think it had moved off campus.
That is a perfect summer cardigan! I'm always on the lookout for cardigans that are still cool enough to wear when the temperature gets well above 90.
That makes me so sad! What a bratty girl. Well, you are adorable and this outfit is so cute.

Love that feather fascinator. Katie, you are single-handedly bringing sassy fashion back to Leeds!
This is a fantastic combo..I love the cardi belted over your dress, they look perfect together!
I love your necklace! And the belted cardi looks great on you!

Uhhh, so WHAT HAPPENED in the fight with Kiki? I'm left in suspense! haha.
Love your belted cardigan and those feather in your hair are fabulous! You have the best Tuesday posts :)

Here&Now
Love that crochet cardigan! And I JUST bought a belt with a little owl on it.. so excited to wear it :)
KiKi just sounds like a mean name. Going to the next post to read what happened!
I missed this post yesterday. After reading your hubbies hilarious one today I had to track back to read it. That's too funny she never showed! I was fortunately never in any fights. When I was in jr. high I did have a girl follow me into the bathroom and for some reason she flicked a piece of her salad on me and kind of threatened me. Why, I have no clue. She was one of those girls that just looks like she could kick some ass. I didn't do anything besides throw the piece of lettuce in the garbage and give her a "really?" look. She left me alone after that. Just weird!
Glad you didn't get pounded that day!! ; )
Newest Follower! Love your blog :) You're style is fab :) And kids can be so cruel :( xxx
I love easy and breezy, especially when it's so hot out! Thank you!
He is so awesome! I love him!
Maybe you would have been fast enough to outrun them? ;)
I can't resist some big feathery thing in my hair! It's my summertime weakness! Thank you :)
I am too! I am a big chicken! Summer layers- look at me being all fancy ;)
Thank you, Annie! Those wedges broke later that night- sad, sad day!
Glad you came back to finish the story up! Sorry I left you hanging!
I would like to just one time punch someone in the face. Just once. To see how it feels. Is that weird?
My sister and I were vicious fighters (and dirty), so I'd like to think I could hold my own, but I wouldn't want to be put on the spot! Sorry I left you hanging!
I got it last year at Kohl's and they don't have anything similar on line right now. I tried a Google search, but I wasn't successful! It is a great summer cardigan. I don't like baring my arms, so this is a perfect way to get around that.
Thank you, Emily!
Hey, I gotta do what I can! ;) Thanks!
Thank you, Natasha!
Thanks, Kacie!
Oops!
Thank you, Jessica. I always have fun writing them!
Can't wait to see your belt. I am a sucker for both belts and owls!
I'm glad too! I would have been scarred for life! Isn't he too funny?!
Your hair piece is so beautiful! I love the feathers!!!
I would love for you to visit my blog sometime!!

Why are girls so mean to one another?! I swear it starts younger and younger every year; my daughter had a "mean girl" in her preschool class this year...preschool! Looking gorgeous as per usual, love love love the owl belt!
I have never been in a fight. Well, I've had plenty of verbal altercations, but no physical ones. Maybe some day.. Haha.
Love your outfit - another dress & cardi combo :) That color green looks smashing on you.

I love the feather in your hair! I've been wanting to try one!
Thank you so much for following! I really appreciate it!
I am going to check it out now! Thank you so much for commenting!
I know! It's really horrible. I hate bullying. It's so sad to imagine pre-schoolers bullying. How awful must their home lives be??
Thank you. I am really liking olive green. That's a first! I am terrified of verbal altercations too. I have a smart mouth and a quick temper, but I'm always scared it will lead to something physical!
Do it! Feathers are one of my favorite accessories :)
