Full Steampunk Ahead

I'm super stoked to show off my thrifted steampunk vest. It's so beautiful! <3 It's hard to be super casual while wearing a vest like this. In my opinion, you kind of have to go all out with it. Otherwise, you wouldn't be doing it justice. So, I broke out my handmade tie (shipped from Montreal); paired it with my new Forever 21 metal tip lapel blouse and finished the overall look with a comfortable pocket skirt. I've worn this particular tie in a masculine look previously. If you want to see that outfit, click here. :D

Look at those incredible details! So awesome! I love the burnished metal ovules and how the vest zips only part way. This vest is perfect! I have to admit, I felt ready to kick so much ass in this outfit. Haha :D

Of course, this look would not have been complete without these rad steampunk flip glasses from zeroUV. 
I have quite a collection of sunglasses, but I find myself consistently choosing these when I go out. I think it's because they go with everything and they add a different element to each outfit. Click here to see the first style I created with these glasses. You'll notice how the sunglasses provided a completely different vibe in that outfit compared to this one. At just under $10, it's a great investment!

Anna!!!! First of all, you look absolutely amazing, not to mention bad*ss in this incredible vest! There is so much military inspiration coming in the trends this fall- you are so ahead of the game! You just seem to effortlessly rock anything and everything, it's amazing!

Thank you so much for your super sweet comments on my blog, they really meant a lot to me! Gosh, you just have the best things to say, I can't handle it! haha. I never feel like I can reply good enough to them!! But you make my heart happy, so thank you. And I am sure that your mom is plenty proud of you, who could not be?!?

Anyway, I hope you are having an amazing day and I really enjoyed your post. Rock on!

Alyssa!!! Haha <3 No worries, babe. I yam what I yam. :D I'm pretty sure my mom still loves me and whatnots. Hehe.

The fact that you like this style says a lot, actually. Thank you! I think some people tend to stay within their own comfort levels and seek out styles that reinforce that level of comfort. Your styles are so crazy beautiful and colorful, but you can also find beauty in darker colors and harsher textures. I appreciate your open mind!

Oh, oh, oh! I LOVE this so much. I think it can be fun to really play with clothing sometimes and do things like menswear or steampunk, but this... manages to be playing without being a costume. And it is just plain COOL.

I don't know why I feel so relieved right now. Haha. Your styles are so incredibly sweet and feminine (which I love!), so I was afraid this would be super scary or off-putting. I'm so glad you enjoy this look! I felt so awesome strutting around town in this. It's one of my favorites! <3

Yes, more of this, please! I love the steampunk look (Legend of Korra just came back and I'm stoked) and I think you do it wonderfully here. All you are missing is an awesome weapon and you could be in your very own show/anime.

Yay, Steampunk without the overuse of brown! XD I am really digging the cool tones in your outfit-- they seem to blend well with your tone. Badass outfit too.

Nice glasses! Have you ever thought of a Steampunk name for yourself?

Just stopping by again after finding your blog. Wanted to say that your style is incredible and looking forward to your music blog. I am a music lover (not the radio kind haha!) as well. Mostly underground artists! The ones who can SANG! Peace and blessings to you! OH and that vest is to die for !
