Corduroy pants

I received a package of La Redoute clothes this morning, amongst them a pair of grey-brown cords. I ordered them on the off-chance that they'd actually fit, seriously not expecting them to, and what do you know, they do! As soon as I put them on my mind reverted back to its 14-year-old state (ten years ago, ouch), when I used to constantly wear a pair of second-hand smokey blue cords that went thread-bear from overwearing. I think it was just the unique sensation of feeling corduroy against my skin. So soft, so comfortable. Mmmm . . .
