day 30: dunzo!

i made it!

30 for 30 is over and i can finally wear "new" clothes again!

i had so much fun doing this and i am so glad that lauren went through 30 for 30 with me. i probably wouldn't have made it all the way through without her. i learned a lot about my wardrobe and my own personal style. i also learned that i don't have to spend $200 on clothes every month.

yay 30 for 30!

what will i blog about next....

any suggestions???

day 29: almost done

i only have one more day left so i get a trophy!

just kidding. i found it in rachel's office while i was getting candy. i'm almost done with 30 for 30. this has been a lot of fun but i can't wait to wear something else from my wardrobe. im getting sick of my cargo pants.

day 28: popcorn

happy monday!

monday treat= popcorn!

yum.

day 27: best of jackson

this weekend was the best of jackson party! it is my favorite event in jackson and i was so excited to go. every year jackson votes on the best businesses, restaurants, and public figures in town and then the jfp throws a huge awards ceremony. there is a ton of free food and the night ends with a big dance.

unfortunately the pictures of my outfit came out blurry and i started feeling bad so i went home early. it was probably those 11 mini cupcakes i ate...

if you want to see pictures of my my full outfit check out lauren's blog!

day 26: the crawdad hole

what a beautiful day! the weather was so nice today and i spent most of it outside. i went to the res to meet up with friends and enjoy the sun, and then we all went to dinner at the crawdad hole.

it isn't exactly crawdad season so we had shrimp, and it was delicious.

i have already decided to have my 25th birthday at the crawdad hole. there is live music and lots of funny people. happy saturday!

day 25: i heart nice weather

it is beautiful in mississippi and i cannot wait for the weekend!

there is so much going on and it is supposed to be in the 70s.

have a great weekend, wherever you are!

day 24: the kitchen

i finally took a picture in the kitchen!

this is where i spend a lot of my free time at work.

especially the day after a birthday party when there is leftover mac & cheese in the fridge. yum.

day 23: birthday celebration

we celebrate birthdays once a month in the office. the birthday theme for january was "comfort food." so i brought doritos!

they were delicious.
there was also mac & cheese, cookies, fake chopped liver dip, and ice cream. i ate way too much.

day 22: photo shoots

so i thought i would switch out the background of my photo shoot, so i dragged lauren to alli's office to take my picture of the day.

places were i spend the most time in the office:

1. my desk

2. alli's office

3. the cave

4. the pit

5. the kitchen

i think the only place i haven't taken a picture in is the kitchen. i'll have to do that in the next 8 days!

day 18-21: yeah... i'm bad at taking pictures

this weekend i went to winston-salem, nc to sign my contract and go through my first round of orientation. of course, i managed to take zero pictures so here is a recap of the clothes:

day 18- striped shirt, gap jeans, ballet flats

i landed in greensboro and rabbi josh picked me up from the airport. i got to see a little bit of downtown w-s and go to a really funky coffee shop. that night i went to services and was introduced to the congregation. everyone was so nice!

day 19- white shirt, black pants, black flats

i went to a bat mitzvah in the morning and then to the most amazing kiddish luncheon. i also got a chance to look at my house for next year and talk to rabbi mark about what house sitting would be like. that night i went to a beautiful bat mitzvah party and ate way too much food.

day 20- purple shirt, gap jeans, ballet flats

sunday school! i got the chance to meet the kids and the education committee. i was also able to lead a few activities and meet with josh about our calendar next year.

it was a great visit and i cannot wait to get started.

as for day 21...

meet ella! ella is dr. rockoffs daughter and she was visiting the office today.

and here we are, being silly:

only 9 more days to go, folks!

day 17: gyros

day two of my hair cut went very nicely. i got a lot of work done and now i am ready to go to winston-salem tomorrow. today i brought back my cargo pants and added one of mom's old necklaces.

we went out to lunch at a great gyro place and i had the best french fries ever.

they had pictures and signs from greece all over the place, dad would have loved it.
i don't know how many pics i will be able to get of my outfits this weekend but i will try my best. i am also hoping to get some shots of where i will be living next year! (and hopefully find a house)

day 16: new haircut

so i have wanted short hair for a really long time. my long hair never really looked right... so today i decided to do something about it.

it is a little shorter than i wanted, but i am really happy with it.

also, i drank one of these this morning and they are supposed to make your skin glow and your hair grow faster, so it should be back to normal in no time!

tonight i am going to macy's new house to help hang mezuzot and eat spinach lasagna... and you know how i feel about spinach lasagna.

day 15: half way there

today is sara silverman's birthday!

of course i had to take my picture of the day with the birthday girl.

if this blog has taught me anything, it is that if you are going to be taking a picture everyday, you should wear make up everyday. oh, and wash your hair.

i am half way there! only 15 more outfits to go!

day 14: sick and tired

i took this picture right before i left work to go home sick.

i didn't feel good, but i loved my outfit.

day 11-13

so this past weekend i went to new orleans and didn't take any pictures of my outfits. so here is a quick overview.

day 11: beige shirt, jeggings, boots. we headed down to new orleans and i got to explore bourbon street and go to a casino for the first time. i won $180 on the slot machines!

day 12: purple shirt, skinny jeans, ballet flats. i walked around the french quarter and went to the junk market. i also found this bar that had the same name as me!

that night i cheated. i'm sorry but i had to wear a formal dress that was not on my 30 for 30 list. please don't be mad.

we went to an amazing dinner and then i got to go on a ferry boat. this isn't the best picture but it is the only one i have!
day 13: jeans, grey v-neck, and toms
new orleans was beautiful and i can't wait to go back for jamie's bachelorette party!

day 10: i've made it so far

i made it to day 10!

so only 20 more days to go!

(p.s. that is emily and claire's office, otherwise kn0wn as "the cave.")

day 8: cargo pants part deux

i really love these cargo pants. they were the best $5 i ever spent.

happy tuesday!

day 7: super cold

it is super cold here.

but not fun, play in the snow, super cold. icy, windy, gross kind of cold.

so i decided to wear sparkles:

i'm not sure why i wanted to pose with the recycling bin, but there are not many options in my office. hopefully i will find some fun new places to pose in the next few day.

also, i know i am a day behind. there was a big ice storm on sunday and i ended up wearing my pjs all day. you don't want to see a picture of that, believe me. so i will just add another day on!

i hope you are having a wonderful week and staying warm!

day 6: the blues

so saturday was the mississippi blues marathon.

last year i woke up at 5am to get ready to run in the race, but this year i slept until 10. i didn't think i was going to be in town for the race and i am sad i didn't get to run this year. after the race they have a big blues pub crawl that they put together for the participants. basically you pay 5 dollars and then you get to take a shuttle to different blues performances in jackson.

this is what i wore:

(please excuse my messy room)

this is what one of the bands wore:

we had a great time, but i was tired so i went home a little early.
but not before i took another picture with fredman!

day 5: no makeup

so i stayed up past my 9:30 bedtime and when i woke up i chose not to wear makeup.

so you can see my outfit, but not my face.

just kidding! you can see my face.

this was a day when i was happy to only have 30 pieces to choose from so i didn't have to think about what i was going to wear. however, this is my go-to comfortable outfit and now i can't use it for the rest of the month. oh well! i guess i will just have to get a little creative.

i was supposed to go to the lake this weekend and a have a fabulous time with some good friends, but because of scheduling conflicts i can't go. super sad face.

so here is what is on the agenda for the weekend now:

1. elvis impersonator (a downtown at dusk event)

2. running

3. black swan

4. blues tour and pub crawl (part of the mississippi blues marathon weekend)

5. finding accessories for my formal dress (borrowing from friends. don't worry, i'm not shopping!)

6. oh... and a winter storm advisory, which i'm hoping means snow!

should be fun.

have a great weekend!
