Slightly Steampunk

I have a hard time defining steampunk fashion. For me, I think it boils down to anachronism. I look for old-timey styles, fabrics, and accessories worn in a modern way.


Jacket, NY & Co. Dress, vintage, thrifted, and shortened. Tights, We Love Colors. Boots, Miz Mooz. Barette, The Crafty Chemist.

Fellow blogger Audi does steampunk well and even sells accessories (hats, belts, and accessories) on Etsy. I love how she slips a harness, a corset, a duster, a bustle, or a mini-top hat into her everyday ensembles. (Perhaps the machine gun bikini isn’t office friendly, but it’s a hell of a costume.)
