"It's the batwing, bitch!"

If any of you have ever seen the movie Waiting, then I expect you to get the gross-out reference in my title!

So the story goes, I had the opposite of buyer's remorse (miser's remorse?) after NOT buying the wicked sparkly batwing jacket I tried on when vintage shopping in Kensington with Mary. I regretted not buying it so badly that I stalked eBay until I was able to track one down and purchased it immediately.

It just came in the mail today, and as much as I hate to post a million redundant pictures of myself, I can't help but play around with the thing! It's so versatile and interesting. I think I'm in love (but it makes me kinda nervous to say so... Haha, I love Beck).

I have a sweater like that but it's black cotton, the large wing like sleeves and comfortable and have a nice shape.

Very, very cool. I'm drawn to batwing things but I get cold easily...how does one layer a jacket on top of a batwing cape???

I can actually imagine you flying offf, like in the batman movie . Checked out plants and rags, excellent, but different.

whaaa! I really like that blue color on those batwings of yours... and I think that they would probably work both on a fancy dress party and on a cosplay happening in Harajuku. Awesome!

That's awesome you found one similar. I totally thought you should have got that other one, it was so good. This one is really nice too, so I'm glad you ended up with a sparkly batwing sweater.
