I'm late to the party with this challenge, but I figure there's really no time limit on YLF challenges. So my challenge included two fears:
Strapless - Living in a warm climate, strapless is a rather popular option that I see all the time. While I think the right strapless formal dress can look stunning on the right body type, casual strapless styles mostly strike me as ironically uber casual, not to mention impractical. Plus, I've got bathing suit tan lines on my shoulders. All of this together creates fear #1.
Red - Normally, I like red, but since showing pregnant, I've realized that I am shying away from wearing red over my bump. I don't know why and I do have a bright pink top I wear all the time. So this is a fear that just doesn't make sense, but all the same I've recognized this going on in my brain. (That's what this challenge is all about, isn't it?) In meeting this challenge, I realize that I'm not wearing the most flaming red, but it's a start.
I never thought I'd got for this style but after trying it on, I had to have the dress. Plus it's not actually maternity so I should be able to wear it next summer too.

And, yes, my bump is at its maximally cute stage-- clearly pregnant but very manageable-- so this was a lot of fun. Thanks, Hanna.
