I love this week's Friday's Fancies theme! The idea of this week's theme was to create an outfit that embodies what you hope for the new year! i.e. A bright & vibrant outfit = an exciting new year! I took it a tad more literally. My goals (not resolutions, cause who can keep those?) for 2013 are to GET ORGANIZED, to complete my elementary credential program, and to downsize & streamline my wardrobe & style!

That being said, I put together a few "teacher" outfits that I hope to get the chance to wear in the upcoming year as I transition from paint & glue-covered preschool teacher attire to a more grown-up elementary teacher attire! Truth be told, I think outfit #3 is going to have to make an appearance much sooner than next fall!

What are you hoping for the new year?
