I love the look of this jacket when I first put it on, but by the end of the day, the belt especially, was a wrinkled mess. I decided to wear it without the belt next time. I spent all day messing with it, which was very annoying. The metal "D" loops do not hold the fabric well and it kept getting loose, rolling, twisting, etc. A much heavier fabric is needed for the belt.

Top is cute but nothing exquisite. It seems to fit to closely. Would like a little more length. Top is okay but not great. I will keepm it and wear it with jeans or linen slacks.

I love the zip front as a change from buttons. Perfect match for the pants, but can also be worn with skirts for a different look, very versatile. Sleeves are unusual but I like them better than long sleeves that don't fit - jacket sleeves are often too long on me. Neck/collar was a little too big to wear fastened.

This is a great fitting, great looking jacket that really moves well from the office then out to dinner. While it's a basically casual look, it's also a flattering one due to the cut and enhancing self-fabric belt.
