I bought a faux fur jacket. I can't pull it off. I look like Pat Butcher.

You are slow, you are slow
From where I stand
I can see the curvature of the Earth
And I want to make it flat
I will play, the sky is black

When you said "I can't pull it off" I thought it was of a small size and got stuck on you, but now I realised that you can't pull it off because you liked it too much kept wearing it all time.

No Blu meant that she doesn't look good wearing that coat. The style is unflattering for her.

But if she didn't like the coat, why did she say she can't pull the coat off her body? I do not understand it.

Lolz. Yeah sorry. Not being able to pull something off is a saying meaning you couldn't get away with something. Like if someone said "We pulled of that plan" it would be mean their plan was successful. It's used a lot to refer to clothing/style.

Basically. The jacket looks like I'm wearing a dead goat.

Oh, okay, thank you for the explanation. I'm sorry I could not understand the expression. :-(

Yes, but, if you didn't like the coat, then you should really not wear that. Sometimes I've bought some clothes or shoes that I regreted having bought too.

It is a British idiom.
"If you want to travel the Way of Buddhas and Zen masters, then expect nothing, seek nothing, and grasp nothing."
Dogen

"I am the vine,ye are the branches: He that abideth in me and I in him,the same bringeth forth
much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing."

John 15:5

“Here is the test of truth: anything that makes you weak, physically, intellectually and spiritually, reject it as poison, there is no life in it – it cannot be true.”
- Swami Vivekananda

"God plus mind is you. You minus mind is God."
Swami Satchitananda

"Do not follow the ideas of others, but learn to listen to the voice within yourself. Your body and mind will become clear and you will realize the unity of all things."
Dogen
