Probably, as rachylou said, a watered down version. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/will-steampunk-really-be-the-next-big-fashion-trend#post-822541 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 18:02:02 +0000 bj1111 822541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>wait...it's not???</p> <p>i've been doing it wrong. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/will-steampunk-really-be-the-next-big-fashion-trend#post-822536 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 17:56:21 +0000 rachylou 822536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(Hey!

I want more of it for *me*, but I don't think I want it to be adopted in a knee-jerk way by posers who wouldn't know an etched copper Victorian wrist-barometer from a Swatch. I'm just fussy that way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/will-steampunk-really-be-the-next-big-fashion-trend#post-821831 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 02:00:27 +0000 Jaime 821831@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought it was very trendy a few years ago?

Even the word "steampunk" makes me happy.</p> <p>I don't think I'm in the market for Victorian aviator goggles or anything, but a few steampunk touches are always nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/will-steampunk-really-be-the-next-big-fashion-trend#post-821811 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 01:32:40 +0000 cciele 821811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, if Halloween was any indication, I kept seeing steampunk goggles everywhere... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/will-steampunk-really-be-the-next-big-fashion-trend#post-821808 Fri, 18 Jan 2013 01:31:08 +0000 Angie 821808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was just going to say a similar thing to Rachy!

One of the fun things about participating in a "sub-genre" is that it's... well, a sub-genre. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/will-steampunk-really-be-the-next-big-fashion-trend#post-821730 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 23:57:47 +0000 Claudia 821730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It will be really interesting to see if this data prediction comes true. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/will-steampunk-really-be-the-next-big-fashion-trend#post-821728 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 23:56:35 +0000 Diana 821728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really hope so!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/will-steampunk-really-be-the-next-big-fashion-trend#post-821727 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 23:55:55 +0000 goldenpig 821727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sign me up!
