I got this for my wife and she wore it out for the first time last night. We went out to eat and while looking at her across the both I was very impressed by how great it looked on her. Elegant and classy is the best way I can think to describe it. She dresses more conservatively than I do and would not go for Thredya's more wild designs, so this is perfect for her. One other nice thing is that I think you could wear it with anything from sweats to formalwear.
