My distraction is your number one, Lantana. I really "live" on the East Coast, close to New York, not in the horsey and dusty suburbs of Los Angeles. "East" is how I dress! If I get too creative or expressive with my dressing here, I usually get a comment or two about "being so dressed up." But I am just not slouchy, ugg boots or RATE. So my distraction is afraid of being an alien in my own environment.
The size of my wardrobe is a distraction. I try to keep it edited, but I still walk in there sometimes and go, "ugh, where's those boyfriend jeans and flats again."
Sometimes fashion saturation is distracting. I wonder how it would be if I didn't read fashion mags or blogs but once a season. What if I only chose one trend to test in a season instead of three?
