I bought my first BB Dakota item last month when the brand was on sale at HauteLook. I’ve seen both Jen and Liane showcase their clothes and realized that this was yet another petite-friendly brand! The only thing I’ve noticed with this jacket is that the sleeves are about 1″ too long, but it’s not too bad if you’re willing to live with it. (I’ll probably be taking it to my tailor, aka Mom, this weekend to have her hem.) The shoulders fit perfectly and the sleeves are nice and slim. There aren’t any shoulder pads with this jacket, but it does have a very structured shoulder shape, which I love! When zipped up, this jacket is indeed very slimming. The tweed material is so classy and super warm too. The inside is also fully lined, so there’s absolutely no itching! Size 0’s are still available on the Karmaloop site and the jacket is even on sale! I know there are a few coupon codes out there for that site as well… And yes, I did revert back to my waist belt look again today. I know what I love, right? ^_^
And here are some more measurement details:

Oh I love tweed! It's so classy. Glad there's another brand out there that fits petites. Will now have to see where I can find them in my area 🙂
That's such a great jacket – love it!

I saw this on HL and had it in my cart for about half an hour (and then came to my senses because I already have two similar styled jackets). It looks great on you and it fits you so well (probably a good thing I didn't try to order in the size 0 I had in my cart). Great buy!
That is a seriously wonderful jacket!

Loving the tweed jacket, it looks great on you 🙂
I'm in love with the messy-tied-look of the scarf. The color is gorgeous and complements the outfit nicely. Love the tweed jacket, but not sure about the silver skinny belt. How does the jacket look without a belt?
@Cee i'll have to wear it again sans belt for you guys!
u look fab,so great outfit!!!;)

I've been looking for a jacket like this for quite a while, I love the whole Chanel style that is going on with it. so cute! x
I love tweed and that jacket is amazing!! It seems super versatile. I love BB Dakota, I have a leather jacket from them and the quality is superb.
I absolutely love this outfit. I just purchased a cheap wool jacket that I'm so impressed with (http://www.kohls.com/kohlsStore/womens/jacketsblazers/dressy/PRD~707414/LC+Lauren+Conrad+Embellished+Wool+Jacket.jsp) so I'll definitely be recreating your look!

Kileen, I've been loving those BDG grazer jeans on you so much, I decided to purchase one myself, and they fit perfectly if not a bit tight. Now I'm scared if I wash them it'll be too tight if they shrink. I'm debating if I should risk it and exchange for a size up. Have you tried washing yours? Do they shrink? or do you dry clean them?
@olyvia since i'm always paranoid about my jeans shrinking (esp skinny jeans!), i usually just hand-wash it and then hang it up to dry. it probably isn't as clean as if i ran it through the washing machine, but it's definitely clean enough so that i don't see any of the dingy-ness that may have been there previously. hope that helps!
I wash my jeans in the dryer, but hang them dry too! I'm scared that my "perfect" jeans will shrink in the dryer and then it will be Forever ruined and the hunt for jeans again will begin.
I really want to get your jacket 🙂
Just Better Together
wow your jacket is so nice! i love it! and love the combination with jeans and striped top but i would like it better without the belt i think it will make your clothes stand out better the belt is a bit too much
i am not judging your outfit it's just my opinion.hope u don't get bothered.

Aw kileen I am so jealous of your mom/personal tailor! I would buy so much more freely knowing I had a great and loving tailor at my fingertips. Not to mention save a ton of $!
Jen actually showed me this blazer today both on her and on Karmaloop…and we were talking about the nice fit on you. I already have a gray tweed jacket but otherwise would seriously be considering this find!
@PetiteAsianGirl oh i had no idea Jen had this blazer too! it's so perfect except for the sleeves. thank goodness i have my mom. 🙂
and i need to see your gray tweed jacket on you! i'm sure it would love absolutely lovely.
