The image is a darker color, but the actual item is a slightly lighter, refreshing color. It can be worn over a sleeveless top and pairs well with both tight and long skirts. There is some slight pilling, but it's in good condition. (Please note this is a personal opinion.) Please see my profile. I will ship as quickly as possible. I ask for no returns, no exchanges, and no refunds (3N). Please consider this before making a purchase. I look forward to a good transaction.
