however, all of those costs add up. i found myself spending anywhere from $500 to $1,000 each year of my own money for these extra items. teaching is not easy. the hours are long and you don't see the immediate impact you're having on students. but what i love about teaching is when those moments happen, and they do happen, that's when i know it was all worth it. >> absolutely. here with us style and trend expert britney levine who picked out a great first day of school outfit for amanda. hi. how are you doing? >> hi, i'm doing well. this is so special. >> this is terrific. we do have a before picture. she's an awesome person inside and out. what did you feel like you needed to do to help her out. >> she's amazing. she deserved an equally amazing look. this is the before picture we just saw. she wore her jeans, she's very comfortable teaching. we wanted to give her fashion confidence to go back to school. she starts tomorrow.
