Easy to dress up and down! I get a ton of compliments every time I wear it out, and typically pair with mary janes (super cute for farmers markets and picnics), or for dinners/wine tastings/etc with a heel! I love wearing this piece in SF, because it's keeps you warm and is easy to layer with a sweater. I sometimes accessorize with a belt when I want to add more color back into the piece. I'm 4"11 and it fits more like a maxi on me!
