     I've been getting a lot of wear out of these GAP Really Skinny Pants lately. I love the idea of them, however, they bag out like crazy and not only in the butt area, but at the knees as well. It drives me completely insane because it can really make an outfit look sloppy. If anyone has any suggestions as to a similar pant that does not bag out so much, please leave a comment below! The J.Crew Minnie pant was too short, and although it doesn't bag out as much as the GAP, I really want something that holds its shape throughout the day.


   Now, having said that, I'm really trying to minimize my spending the next few months (aren't I always??). The Christmas holidays are coming and I have some very expensive bar exams that I will need to pay for in the coming months so I'm *really* going to try! I've already cut myself off from jeans, shoes, and purses. I have one more sweater purchase allowance for the F/W season which I just ordered from Nordstrom but we'll see if I love it enough to keep it. Other than that, there isn't much left except blouses, skirts and maybe some trousers. Admittedly, I have been stalking a few things for the last two or three months, so if those go on super sale I probably won't be able to resist. But if not, this blog is likely going to be filled with a lot of re-mixing and re-styling and even some experimenting for the next little while (I do still have a few newer items I have yet to show you all). Hopefully I won't fall into a style slump, but I'm already starting to feel it. I'm just so uninspired lately, but I think it's just a result of certain aspects of life leaking elsewhere. Do you have any tips for staying out or coming out of a style slump without having to buy new pieces? I'd love to hear them!
