Open the door and let me in! Woven button downs are my nemesis, followed by 'bling', and RATE. Both fab style themes, but I don't feel authentic when I try the look.

Silly, I know, but the black sequins on my black beret (gift from Mom) make me CRAZY. DH says you can hardly see them, but I KNOW they are there, twinkling away.

Great topic! I have a few offenders, too:
- Muddy colors and patterns. I love rich, earthy colors, but I feel all wrong in them.
- silk shirts. I relly, realy love the drape and feel of silk, but it's so hard to wear. Most of the time it's too cold for silk here. I also tend to ruin them too quickly to defend the costs of buying them.

Peri, I am so with you on peplums! I loved the look when they first came out, but they are horrendous on me.

Goldenrod yellow (some call it mustard yellow, but it's dark, not like French's mustard). I love how it looks, how it mixes with all of my favourite neutrals, and every time I try it on I look like I need to be rushed to the emergency room for liver failure. Sigh. Perhaps if I can find it in some thin stripes in a skirt one day I'll be able to get away with it, but it will never make a big proportion of one of my outfits.

Turtlenecks. They're so sleek and cosy looking at the same time, and I adore sweaters. But my neck is about 1" long, which means I have to fold the fabric over about a million times, so it looks thick and awkward and presses against my throat uncomfortably.

I'm working on blazers! I love them on others, want to love them on me, I have a sweet little collection of them, and when I wear the in outfit posts the forum always approves. But I have this mental block about them, so when I put them on all I see is a thick waist (which is so weird, because I waist surrender in tops & dresses all the time), and I'm convinced they're not as comfortable as cardigans. I need to actually wear one all day, indoors as well as out, to try that out, but so far I've yet to bring myself to do so. So they end up as part of my outerwear collection & don't get enough love!
