Blake Lively: teased about her clothes in 2nd grade?

Blake Lively was treated cruelly by other school girls because of the way she dressed?

There's fashion irony for you. Now the star of "Gossip Girl" sets the fashion trends that those same girls who were mean to her at an L.A. private school are probably copying.

According to a Vogue profile, Lively has always had an interest in clothes, inspired by her mom, a former model who sews and used to take young Lively to vintage stores and tailor adult clothes for her.

"She just did that because she was so creative and because she didn't want me to be dressed in big T-shirts cinched with a plastic clip like all the rest of the kids."

And that fashion gave Lively a taste of just how mean young girls can be. When she entered a private school in Los Angeles in second grade, for the first and only time in her life, she didn't fit in.

"It was the only school where people were just downright mean to me," she recalls. "They would make fun of my clothes because I dressed differently than the other kids."
