Fluit, fluit mijn storie is uit).</p> <p>I'm unable to see the wale of the cords on my computer screen, so these look like grey velveteen pants to me – which if you recall I've always thought looked great. SOOOOOOO, I’m going to go ahead and say that you look fab, Kyle. So pretty in pink! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/corduroy-controversy#post-34812 Thu, 13 Nov 2008 02:17:44 +0000 Laura 34812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kyle, you look gorgeous. The gray and purple color combo is stunning. </p> <p>Did you find that for some odd reason those Matchstick corduroys fit far better than the denim version? That was my experience at least. But after purchasing them, I discovered that cords were not YLF kosher, chickened out and returned them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/corduroy-controversy#post-34810 Thu, 13 Nov 2008 02:05:24 +0000 Tanya 34810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>He he, don't worry I won't, as a fellow corduroy addict I totally understand </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/corduroy-controversy#post-34808 Thu, 13 Nov 2008 01:59:35 +0000 Kyle 34808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for the lovely compliment, Tanya. However, I don't think I've ever seen you wear anything that is less than a home run. Yes, I have them in cream, too. Don't tell Angie </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/corduroy-controversy#post-34804 Thu, 13 Nov 2008 01:53:33 +0000 Tanya 34804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kyle, you look absolutely incredible in them! Killer! 11+! I have tried those exact same pants and plan on getting them at some point, but they looked nowhere near as good on me as they do on you. They make your legs look 10 feet long! Btw, don't you also have them in cream? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/corduroy-controversy#post-34803 Thu, 13 Nov 2008 01:51:36 +0000 Kyle 34803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicole, I had heard so much about J Crew Matchsticks on the forum, I wanted to see for myself. The fact that they come in tall sizes is a real plus. Never thought I would like or buy them because I was convinced that I hated corduroy and that straight legs look bad on me. Who knew?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/corduroy-controversy#post-34800 Thu, 13 Nov 2008 01:38:07 +0000 Amanda 34800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see why you changed your mind -- you look great in those cords! I understand Angie's opinion that cords are only casual but I see a lot of women wearing really nice cords as the basis for good-looking outfits. So I say go for it.</p> <p>I don't wear cords because of "childhood trauma" -- my mother loves cords and always made me wear them. They were itchy and stiff and made a scratchy noise when my thighs rubbed together. I just can't get over the mental block of that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/corduroy-controversy#post-34798 Thu, 13 Nov 2008 01:36:13 +0000 Nicole 34798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful color and fit, Kyle. What made you try them on in the first place?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/corduroy-controversy#post-34793 Thu, 13 Nov 2008 01:33:57 +0000 Kyle 34793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When Angie wrote about her general dislike if corduroy, I agreed wholeheartedly. However, I tried a pair of J Crew matchsticks and I like them quite well. It's not all that often I find pants I'm happy with. I think they are nice looking and I'll be wearing them a lot this winter! Guess I've had a change of heart. The corduroy debate continues...</p> <p><a href="http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/nn99/KKDD_2008/mauve.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i302.photobucket.com/al...../mauve.jpg</a> </p>
