It has a four button closure and perfect for those cold night outs. Okay so maybe not those freezing Maine nights. No, you might need to put a little more on than this. Haha. What I love about this is that it has POCKETS. NO cardigan of mine has pockets, and I have lots of cardigans. It kinda gives me a bit of a Kurt Cobain feel and I really like to wear this with a floral dress and white Doc Martens, I look a bit odd, but I bring back the 90's for sure.
