Suz, I think I will contact CS and ask about colours -- you never know! I thought of you when I saw the new Mac prints. The polka dots and the gingham are both so fun...
Toban, I teach at an alternative school and a preschool, so denim is totally appropriate. Blazers are sort of an indulgence for me, because they are totally unnecessary but I love the way they look and feel -- more so than cardigans, which is what most of my colleagues opt for.
If these fit nicely and are a good sturdy corduroy, I could justify a duplicate pair in a second colour if they do show up later one. I've tried and rejected a lot of corduroy these past few years -- it's my top HEWI!
Angie, I am not a fan of most corduroy that is available these days; too stretchy, leggings-like, and unstructured. But I love classic menswear corduroy. It's an endless hunt.
I will definitely consider the blush -- it might be my fall wildcard. I love the colour-block coat and the Wren dress! Not practical for me right now, but I keep looking at the navy/mustard, as it's one of my fav colour combos...
