"For me, this is the ideal outfit to wear out in the heat. The slightest breeze just flows right through the material! There is a sheerness in the sunlight, but a swimsuit underneath or messenger bag slung across is enough to erase any paranoia. This fits me differently than the model - I am 5' and my short stubby legs make this reach my ankles. The hip area does billow a bit due to the pockets, but with the lightness of the fabric, there is constant movement and it's obvious that you don't have out-of-proportion hips. Ordering a second one in black!"
