Steampunk Style!

I LOVE the steampunk style! You don't have to be a cosplay wizard to complete the look.
There are a couple of styles of steampunk; the Neo- Victorian, almost Lolita look with the corsets and tailcoats and whatnot; the simple airship pilot kind of thing with the frock coat and goggles; and the down and dirty clockwork couture with lots of accessories and cogs and gears. Just have fun with the style, and feel free to combine categories. A tutorial on making steampunk goggles can be found here:
