    Finally Friday: Nora Pull-On Stretch Skinny Corduroys

    These pants are a reader favorite, and they’ll be warm and comfortable this season. They are pull-on, which can be good if you’re avoiding a c-section scar, etc., but they can also be a little too loose in the waist.

However, there’s a really great teal that’s not marked down and still available in all sizes 0-16. JAG Nora Pull-On Stretch Skinny Corduroys
