I know some of you have mentioned that you have become accustomed to some items like midi skirts over time, and I got to thinking about items that my eye has adjusted to or against over time.

Midi skirts are definitely something I've got used to seeing, particularly when the skirt just barely covers the top curve of the calf.

B. wears glasses most of the time and only switches to contacts when he's playing sports, and I'm so used to seeing him in glasses that it feels odd when he's not wearing them.

I've also become very accustomed to seeing low and mid heels to the point where very high heels, like 4-5" shoes, visually look off to me because of the way they greatly distort the shape of the calf and foot.

Skinny jeans definitely took some adjustment a few years back. I remember in college when skinny jeans hadn't really caught in in the US, but we had a large population of exchange students from Japan who were sporting very slim skinnies. I wasn't sure what to think at first, and so many of the girls wearing them had very slim hips and legs that I assumed the trend would never work on a curvier woman. Boy, was I wrong!

Obviously it took me a while to come around to the volume trend too, especially where it came to trying it myself. I also got used to higher necklines on me once I learned how to pair them with the right pieces to avoid looking like I'm all chest.

My eye adjusted against ankle length capris over the years-I actually used to wear them myself. I never adjusted to the very oversized sunglasses trend. But to my surprise faux-fur vests grew on me.

I still have a hard time appreciating very chunky and rugged shoes and very very short shorts or skirt hemlines. My eye keeps wanting to adjust something.

So what trends have you got used to, or moved away from? Anything that you have tried to get used to but just couldn't?
