It fits well, it's warm and soft, and not unflattering. I'm probably going to replace the buttons at some point, but I went to three different stores on Tuesday and these were the best I could come up with. I'm going to cut the top button off. The collar lays better with it open.
I really need a haircut!Stats

It's not unflattering at all! It actually looks very nice. And you're right, I like the collar open too. That top button is in the way. Other than that... it's gorgeous. And I love that lipstick on you! Wish I could pull off that particular color.
Ooohhh it's so nice! I really like the color on you. I'd ditch the button at the top and let the collar do what it wants. Now where's my stole????
Oh, good job!!! Off the top of me ead I picture wooden buttons. Very nice. Verry, vary noyce.
Lovely - and I agree with you about the button.
Great job! Wonderful.
(Isn't it annoyingly hard to find just the right buttons when you want them?)
You look so warm and cozy next to the fire. Great job!
WOW! It looks great! It actually fits you really well, very cute & very impressive. I like the collar open too.
You should be pleased -- that is a great look on you.
