There are large colorful mushrooms that are printed with flock printings on the patterns of mesh design of a green knit. Also, I love a wolf patch with glitter print at the bottom.

I got a tops from zucca at Ikebukuro Seibu department store.

The full range of colors is black, khaki, navy and light blue.
But, I got khaki one that I like.
It is very light, and easy to wear it because of the tencel fiber that is used.
Also, I like the large pockets on the sides.
