Thanks for all the encouragement and styling suggestions. I will try layering a light weight tee underneath.. that sounds fun.
I may have to find a pair of leans as well to wear with this.
It does pass the sit down test, as it's sweateryness allows me to pull it down closer to my knees and the hose help it to stay there.
I totally see what some of you are saying about the borderline shortness.. and I respect and value your opinions. I'm totally comfortable wearing it casually or out for the evening with the length it is. I wouldn't wear it to a business meeting or to teach school (as in my former life).
Bella- no, I didn't see it in any other colors (that I remember).
Jonesy- It's more of a heather brownish, but it does have a ever so slight hint of olive too.
So, I wore it last night with the hose, slouchy boots, tuxedo jacket, my red sparkly chunky necklace and a skinny black belt and felt soooo good. My husband who usually comments on anything new (as in... oh, new dress?), only said "oooh, I LIKE those hose ;-)"
