1.) A one-piece that looks like a 2-piece:
Tiered Combo Dress, Ann Taylor Loft, $89.50
It's not so much the difference in color that bothers me, it's more the different textiles in addition to different colors. When it looks like a skirt and a blouse, but it's actually a dress, I just hate it. It's completely illogical- there's no good reason for hating such a concept and yet I do. I can't explain it.
2.) Front-only embellishments:
Lace Ruffle Front Top, Forever 21, $17.80
You may not think there's anything wrong with this top- it's got cute tiers of lace and jersey ruffles, and it probably looks great with a pair of jeans. My issue with it is that the ruffles are ONLY on the front:
I know that there are plenty of circumstances when the embellishment should only be in the front, but when it literally stops at the side seam, I find it irritating. Again, it's not entirely logical, I just hate how it looks. If I saw a top that had ruffles on the front, but not on the back, that would be reason enough for me to veto it.
I feel kind of the same way about this type of sequin top:
Sexy Cardi Sweater, Victoria's Secret, $69.50
See the way the sequins just abruptly stop at the side seam? Hate it. Now, here's where it gets really illogical- I probably would not want a cardigan like this where the sequins go all the way around, either! So crazy, but it's just the way I feel.
What kind of things make you want to veto a piece of clothing? A friend of mine won't wear sling-back heels. They're not uncomfortable to her, but she just won't wear them- she wants a full or completely open heel, nothing in between. Another friend completely avoids long necklaces for no apparent reason. Leave a comment to tell me your wardrobe quirks.

Interesting question! I have a funny thing about the dress that looks like a top and skirt too. Not sure why. Also, I try to avoid scoop neck cardigas. I just like the v-neck ones better.
