"Bought and wore this for a friend’s wedding at the start of the year. It’s so comfortable and beautiful with a simple dress underneath. I got tons of compliments on it from the other guests. I’m excited to wear it more in the spring and summer in other ways!"

"All I have to say is that It HAS POCKETS. It’s as gorgeous and vibrant as the pictures. Very comfortable and flattering. It will appear on my album cover and be linked with me forever. I love it."
