I think it had been overlooked as it was pushed in the back of a closet with a lot of other clothes in front of it.

It has been nice on the rare occasions I have needed a wrap if going out to a fancy event.

I find it hilarious that the fur coats pop out at my church when the temperature drops to the low 40s. I need it to get colder than that before I get out my winter coat.
