This is a beautiful find this is from my closet. I bought at the express store in Chicago. I have use this for a coat made this into an entire outfit at one point with a belt. There is 1000 ways to wear this thing, not just as a poncho. The second photo is how I would wear it most of the time that photo is not the item. I just wanted to give a representation of how to style it. This is incredibly oversized, but has so much potential. On one side it is black with a maroon brown and almost a yellow green color black pattern. On the other side, it is a little bit more soft in terms of color with a beautiful shades of green, orange, brown, purple and reds. There is no wrong way to wear this as you can see it nearly covers my queen sized bed- this is a stunning piece and would be beautiful and fall photo shoots!! Just a call out here. There is a bit of snags on the whip stitching on one area. There are three threads as pictured, does not change the wear or the look of the item.
