Mustard Cords

I have mustard on the brain. It's my color. You know, the color you're drawn to. The one you wear even though it's not supposed to be worn by you. It clashes with your hair, or whatever. That's mustard and yellow in general for me. It. Is. My. Favorite.

I'm obsesssssed right now. I can't stop thinking about mustard corduroy skinnies. For days I've been coordinating outfits. However, I'm unable to locate the dream pair of mustard cords.

I've found a few that I *like* but I'm not sure they're THE ONES.

First, because they're a staple item, I checked ever faithful GAP.
Gap Cords
I mean they're skinny and cords. But no mustard to be found. I like the camel, I love the wine color but it's just not MY color.

So, I continued my quest.
Madewell was next. 

 Not cords. Not Mustard. So, why am I tempted?
 Next Anthroplogie. Certainly they'll have mustard cords. Is mustard not even a color anymore? Why can't I find any mustard cords.

These were perfect. Except. They're wine. But I was so tempted. They look so incredibly comfortable and cozy and not mustard.

I was getting desperate at this point. No mustard cords anywhere.
eBay?
These are SO close. I would have hit BIN if not for one small thing. I have no idea what size I wear at Ann Taylor. I mean seriously I have some skirts that are 4s some 8s and I think a couple dresses that are 10s. All fit. I would hate to get my unicorn pants only to be disappointed. Know that I am one of the two watchers.

My last and final attempt at finding these elusive mustard cords brought me to J. Crew.




Why didn't I look there first or second you ask? Well, I did. I looked there yesterday and they had ZERO mustard cords. This morning? They do!!! I'm so excited I'm going to go to J. Crew with all of my kids (because teacher workshop day?) and try them on to figure out which size works best for me!!! And better than that? They have a tall inseam length! I feel like these might be my elusive mustard unicorn cord.

Which one is your favorite? What is your fall unicorn? That elusive item you just can't find or are constantly on the hunt for?]

xoxo,
CP
