For my review, I received a Tina Shrug in the red medley color.
The Tina Shrug is beautiful! The material is soft and has a real luxurious feeling. The knit pattern is eye-catching. While taking my daughter to and from school, I was stopped a few times and asked about my Tina Shrug. The moms said that the knit pattern on the back is what caught their attention.
I started off wearing my Tina Shrug over a white v-neck long-sleeved t-shirt with jeans and booties. However, I will still a little cold and felt like I was missing something. I decided to add a brown sweater to the outfit. I liked the color combination of the red medley against the milk-chocolate brown. This outfit was casual and comfortable, perfect for a cold and rainy day in Oregon.
It is suggested that the Tina Shrug be hand washed or dry cleaned. I hadn’t read this information when I laundered mine. Without knowing, I washed mine in the washer on cold and delicate; it came out just fine. Next time I will hand wash it though.

Hello, my name is Laurie. My family and I live near the Oregon coast. When we aren’t at work, in school, or on the volleyball court, we enjoy traveling, cheering for our favorite sports teams, playing outdoors, and checking off items on our bucket list. We are lucky in that both sets of our parents, as well as our siblings and their families, live within an hour of us. We get together often to help one another out, celebrate milestones, and go on adventures together.
