Okay, when I first got this, I thought there's no way I received the right item - it's HUGE! I couldn't even get it around my neck! But in the end, I like that it's so big. I finally had a college kid teach me how to wrap it right so I could wear it around my neck (it's a bit bulky this way, but warm!), or I can wrap it around me as a shall, or even open it up and use it to cover me on an airplane or sit on it at an outdoor event. And it's super cute!
