happy 2014! new year's ootd and 2014 wishes/goals x

how's your 2014 been going? I know we're only a week in but it feels like so much has happened already, is it just me? I totally forgot to do an outfit of the day post for new years, so i'll quickly do it now.. 

I know for new year a lot of people have dark lacey dresses with a dark lip and such but I really don't like wearing dark colours (although they look really pretty on other people!), so sorry about how inappropriate my outfit is considering a) its not summer/warm out b) its hardly very festive! 

wow my mirror is so dirty I am so sorry 

- my skirt was from the river island christmas sale for £2.50 because it had a little teeny pen mark near the back 

- my top is from an eBay seller who makes her own clothes, but if you just type in 'mermaid shell top' on eBay/etsy/store envy/google it comes up! mine was £7.90 although you can find similar for cheaper i'm sure 

- the same goes for my shoes! an individual eBay seller and these shoes are unbranded, although a search of 'white platform shoes' usually does the trick! 

- my jacket is a pink fluffy lil' jacket with rabbit ears, but again is unbranded unless you google 'rabbit fleece jumper' and a whole bunch of them come up from different sites 

sorry for that delayed mini-post, but now on for what I was going to actaully write about! 

I don't like it much when people say 'new year, new me' because rarely ever do they change past a few weeks into the year! I think it's better to set more realistic goals rather than saying things like 'I'M GOING TO GO RUNNING EVERY DAY AND NOT EAT ANY JUNK FOOD AND I'M GOING TO REVISE EVERY DAY' etc, because if you fail on one day, you're more likely to just give up altogether because it really is just too much at once 

I think it's better to just say things like 'i'm going to make more of an effort to exercise more, cut down on junk food and revise at least 3 hours a week' or whatever, because that way it's less drastic and a lot easier to keep up, so you're less likely to quit! 

with that in mind, i'm still not sure on what I want out of 2014.. 

all I know is that I want to make more of an effort to blog more often and to find myself a job I actually enjoy.. 

what are your wishes and goals for 2014? maybe I could steal a few of your ideas..
