"Gorgeous"
This was a bit of a surprise as its a little heavier than expected, but its so beautifully and finely woven.. added to the fact that its large enough to use completely in place of any other coat (well, except for the coldest of snow days!) for the winter, the weight makes sense. It is truly beautiful.. the color is deep, yet not forest green, but a pure, true green that has a more refreshing and lighter eye than many of the deeper greens. As I said, its gorgeous!
Best Uses
- Toss it on and go
- it will make any outfit look finished and put together

"Truly perfect"
I don t use the word perfect very often, nor lightly. But it applies here! This poncho is the perfect shade of indigo, with a bit of heathering for interest. The knit is stretchy yet retains its shape. It is light weight yet warm and feels like a gentle hug. I have already worn it almost every day since it came, and I live in an area experiencing hot temperatures right now! But it is perfect for the air-conditioned areas. I will take it with me traveling, for sure. Could not be happier.!
