Trends that you just don't suit?

[FeliciaJollygoodfellow]

I've been ogling halo eyeshadow looks on Pinterest.

Tried it today and it just doesn't work for me. It just looks a bit weird! Also the overdrawing of lips - tbh I'm not the biggest fan but when I tried it, it just made me look like I had really uneven lips!

Also crew necked tops as I'm busty

Anyone care to share theirs?

Crop tops are great for going under something without adding bulk at the waist - like pinafores, or regular tops to add a layer of warmth. I've got tons for this purpose but would never wear them on their own. I'm 43 and do have a denim pinafore in a shift style that works really well.
I occasionally also wear crop tops beneath a strappy dress on a night out, etc.

Now for what doesn't suit me:
Mom jeans bury me and make me look like a clown even if i size down.
dark eye shadow - or the smoky look (I'm pale blonde and look like someone dug me up)
Belts on pants or jeans - it feels uncomfortable and bulky and never looks right.
Shoes with a stiletto heel - have never even owned a pair although I can walk well in a high chunky platform!

Palazzo pants they just drown me.
Open toe sandals/flip flops - shudder - I have awful toes
Anything cream or pale pastel - look like I've been dug up
I can only wear v necks or slouchy cowl necks - crews and polo look dreadful on me - boobs quite big for my small frame. This neckline issue actually saves me a lot of money as stops me buying loads of gorgeous tops or dresses because the majority of necklines are crew.
I would never wear a knitted dress as even as a size 6/8, they are the most unflattering item of clothing in the world!
Anything cutesy print - Boden et al makes me want to gag.

I can not stand looking too 'done' with neat and tidy hair. I look in the mirror and it frightens me. If my clothes are smartish, I must have messy hair (easy to achieve ha). If I look slightly messy, then I apply make up carefully. But really can never achieve a tidy appearance, mainly because my wavy -frizzy- hair does whatever.
In short, I think we just become accustomed to seeing ourselves a certain way
