The first and second photos show the color closest to the actual item. The muted brown color is cute, but I'm selling it because I haven't had a chance to wear it. It's a long cardigan, but it has slits, making it easy to walk in. It's thick, so it can also be used as a light coat in the fall. * Sorry, I've cut off the tag. * Both sides have pockets. * There's little pilling, but please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned.
