This has a very nice hand feel, the colors are beautiful. I got this for my daughter-in-laws birthday and she loved it. Says it will be perfect for when she gets chilly watching tv, etc. It's nice enough to go out in and with a belt I think it would look "snazzy" She's about 5'4" so it's pretty long on her but she likes that. It's not bulky so it will be great to wear around easily, should have ordered one for me, but I've got plenty of warm things, but the colors, purples and blues, are really pretty, and looked really nice on her.
