I've worn this about 10 times per season, so I don't think it looks worn out. The color in the first image is similar to the actual item. The lavender one has a faint magic marker mark near the Dokin-chan on the arm. It's 100% cotton, so it wrinkles easily, but it's not fleece-lined, so I think it can be worn to nursery school. I'm not considering lowering the price because of the shipping cost. I hope you will consider it.
