Steampunk Accessories

By -
Hubby and I have been zooming through Doctor Who (we just finished season 3), and it's revived my steampunk love.* However, everyday isn't an occasion for your pocketwatch, pickup skirt, and trusty sonic screw driver. Since aliens aren't invading at the moment, let's shop for steampunky accessories to wear with our everyday spring dresses. But keep that screwdriver handy.black wood ring hip belt, Nordstrom $48
leather finger gloves, Revolve Clothing $41
clear frame sunglasses, Top Shop $36
lace gloves, ASOS $6.76
leather hip belt, Free People $88
feather top hat, Free People $88
pink frame round sunglasses, Free People $18
yellow ruffle belt, Coldwater Creek $32.99
nude corset belt, Top Shop $80
red cut out belt, Old Navy $15
ring detail hat, Lori's Shoes $34

*It's also making me think with a London accent.

I love the belt on the model in the first picture. We watched the first episode of the new season of Dr. Who- it was really good! I have very very vague memories of watching Dr. Who as a kid :)

I like the all design but i don't like its color. I like hat. A girl with the hat looks good.

Retro Shoes

I love vintage shoes, but between the heavy wear and narrow fit, I have to indulge my wants with fabulous reproductions. Mary Janes, t-straps, peep toes, low heels. If it looks like it's from the 20s-50s, I'm there! I like to wear them with Victorian jewelry and funky outfit. How do you wear retro heels?

"You Can Wear It Again"

One of my college roommates sent me a book called You Can Wear It Again: A Celebration of Bridesmaids' Dresses by Meg Mateo Ilasco. I must admit I uttered those words to my bridesmaids. The best burgundy fabric we could find was a butterfly brocade, so we ended up making Chinese-style tops (no strapless, backless bra required) and gold skirts. My roommate (on the right) actually wore the top until the zipper died, so maybe I wasn't quite as delusional at these other brides.

The pictures in "You Can Wear It Again" can be a whole lot of fun with a gabby group of girl friends. I plan to cover the pictures in snarky post-it notes and pass it to becca (who will not make me wear satin polka dots and a floppy hat) to do the same. When it makes its way through all our friends, we'll have a great collection of comments.

Just click with you want a better view of these horrors committed to fabric and friendship.
Note to brides: It is unfair to make your sisters, cousins, and b…
