Just as I was posting about J. Crew’s “matchstick”-cut, neon pink corduroys<\/a> earlier this week, gorgeous blogger Karen of Of a Certain Age<\/a> was getting the same cords in an intense citron color. How desperately do you want these now?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Karen looks amazing!

<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
After seeing this photo, I feel like anyone with any sense at all should run out and buy these cords. As you’ve seen, I’m partial to an intense yellow<\/a>, especially on one’s lower half. But since I already have a long skirt<\/a> and a not-yet-photographed short skirt in similar hues, I feel like I should abstain from citron cords before I end up with an all-acid-yellow wardrobe. Dang! “Aubergine” is a nice color that J. Crew has available in a bootcut. Maybe I should go for that instead.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span>\"\"<\/a>Or perhaps bright persimmon?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Or should I stick to the matchstick style and get it in “sweet potato,” which is on major sale?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Or should I do what I did last year and spend so much time pondering the colors that by the time I’ve made a decision, it’s summer? What do you think?<\/p>\n

UPDATED TO ADD: Take my poll on the right!<\/p>\n

UPDATED AGAIN TO ADD: I should note that the lovely Jean of Ghost Tailor<\/a>, a J. Crew cord-wearer herself (she got the bootcuts and altered them), informed me that in previous years, the purple was much brighter in person than in photographs. That’s what I’d be hoping for.<\/div>\n
