Corduroy pants outfit ideas: lipstick / statement earrings / turtleneck sweater / olive green tee / black belt / gemstone bracelet / nail polish / brown cords / suede handbag / boots (old, also love this pair) /

There is something nostalgic about corduroy pants. They remind me of the 1970s and early 1980s. So, when I was looking for an alternative to jeans this season, I decided to give these cords a go. I am so glad I did!

Despite the fact that they are long, and I needed to have them shortened, they are super comfortable, and I love how they fit. I decided to go with chocolate brown so that I could mix and match them with various neutral hues. It was all about a fall vibe.

We have weather right now which is in between cool and warm. So, as you Bay Area natives know, it’s all about layering! I popped this sweater over my shoulders so I could easily slip it on if the fog rolled in or the wind got too cool; and it was quite windy when we took these photos! That’s why my hair is tucked into the sweater! haha

I had heard about this noodle place named Taro San Japanese Noodle Bar at Stanford Shopping Center, so we decided to try it. I am so glad we did! My husband ordered a bento box, which he told me was delicious. My son enjoyed his beef udon with a side of sushi. I took the plunge into the special Chef’s menu and ordered the Truffle Mushroom Udon. OMG! It was soooooo good. If you love mushrooms as much as I do, you need to try this! It’s a bit more expensive than the regular udon on the menu, but it was worth every extra penny. It was a mushroom fan’s dream! Loved it!

I look forward to going back and trying more items on the menu. It was so good! Maybe I’ll wear my cords again with another sweater. They are super comfy! Love!

Thanks for stopping by!

XOXO
