Color is beautiful; love the fit (except for too long sleeves, but I'm used to that & can alter them).  Length to a little above mid-thigh (I'm 5'3").  Washable so I can keep it fresh all season.  Warm enough for errands until weather dips below freezing.  Layers up easily with big winter coat for bitter days.  When the house gets a little too cool, just right to keep a chill at bay
