i've been lusting after it for a long time now, and it's on sale ($149), but that's way more than i usually spend. i think it's pretty unique and very "me."
i guess the only thing i'm worried about other than the price is the sizing. i've heard bbw runs small, and i'm worried the large won't fit me. (i normally wear a ladies 8-10) also, purchasing this would probably put me on a ban for at least a few months (other than fall boots, which i desperately need)
I can't help with sizing, but I can help enable...
I think if you really really love it & have been lusting after it, you have your fall wardrobe lined up somewhat & there aren't lots of other things you want / need, and you really really feel like it is "you" that you should get it. I am so guilty of buying lots of cheaper things instead of splurging on one thing that i reall love, and I'm trying to buy stuff I really love instead. I don't know how much it was originally and how on sale it is, but maybe someone here watches her line closely & can tell you if they think that is the cheapest it will be?
I think it's cute & it will mix nicely into your vintage wardrobe.

I tried this jacket on in the store it is really cute, but I decided to get a dress instead. I don't think BBW runs small. I tend to wear an extra small in her stuff and I tried it on in a small and it was too big. I am small, but chesty I would think you would fit into a large just fine. Let me know if you have any other questions. I say go for it!
well, i think the green is super cute, but i think the black is better suited to my skin-tone. (usually greens like that make my cheeks look even ruddier than they are and my skin look weird)
bbw doesn't run small in my opinion at all! I'm a 4, and I wear an XS and in pants a S. So you are either a medium or a large, but i'm sure one of those sizes should fit! I love some bbw, some doesn't look so good in person.
it doesn't looks as good on me as it does kathleen hanna, but i'm pretty happy with it! i don't like it with these jeans (i think they are too dark), but i'm not quite sure if i should pair it with black trousers or what else i could do. (maybe brightly colored pants and black boots?) i think i want to get the jacket fitted a bit more at the waist, because it's a little too boxy on me (but i think the medium might be too small)...

I second this. It would be so cute/unique with a pretty printed skirt and heels. You look great!
Honestly I thought it looked ugly on the model, (is that kathleen hannah?) but I changed my mind when I saw it on you!
Edit: Ok so I was thinking about what you could wear with it and I went through your threadstyle posts and came up with this outfit: Your white vintage dress, black shoes, and blue bag. So then I was bored, and drew a quick little cartoon of it!
I imagined it with a couple of these little bracelets.
