Sometimes I order things here on amazon, and while the product photos look really nice, I am underwhelmed when I get the item. This is not like that! I was pleasantly surprised by how nice and thick the material was, which is important to me in a sweater type fabric (and in off-white which I got) to help hide imperfections. It is still too warm to wear it here, but as soon as I tried it on, I ~wanted~ to wear it now! It doesn't have lots of extra ruffles or things so it is the perfect canvas for a jacket, jewelry, fabulous shoes, or however you want to style it up. Or go classic with it more understated. Either way it is quite flattering and would look great for a nice dinner, work or even holiday parties. Now I want to find some new shoes to match!
