That waistcoat really suits you and goes well with the skirt. Great look with the scarf and jacket too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-little-bit-steampunk#post-1740131 Sat, 15 Oct 2016 20:11:34 +0000 Carla 1740131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great colours and styling. Love this on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-little-bit-steampunk#post-1740086 Sat, 15 Oct 2016 17:18:57 +0000 Aziraphale 1740086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cool! I remember that skirt from years back. It still looks fabulous. And I think the layered-over waistcoat works really well to rein in the volume of the shirt while at the same time giving the whole thing a steampunk vibe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-little-bit-steampunk#post-1740038 Sat, 15 Oct 2016 13:32:40 +0000 RobinF 1740038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this look, the skirt is fab. Is that a Sweater Babe pattern for the vest? Looks familiar, nice job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-little-bit-steampunk#post-1739981 Sat, 15 Oct 2016 01:51:24 +0000 Momo 1739981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cool!

I like the outfit and I'm with Astrid--would like to see it with laceups--do you have Doc Martens? I don't think it would look costumey. I do like the boots you're showing here with it, too, though. And I love the addition of the jacket and scarf. You do maximal very well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-little-bit-steampunk#post-1739698 Fri, 14 Oct 2016 00:31:09 +0000 Anonymous 1739698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very fun, made me smile! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-little-bit-steampunk#post-1739677 Thu, 13 Oct 2016 23:56:55 +0000 rachylou 1739677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sassy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-little-bit-steampunk#post-1739673 Thu, 13 Oct 2016 23:55:29 +0000 Angie 1739673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FABULOUS.

I think a fun weekend look would demand you try the lace up boots, lol&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-little-bit-steampunk#post-1739607 Thu, 13 Oct 2016 20:30:11 +0000 approprio 1739607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh sweet! Nice colours. I don't see much steampunk though I think lace-ups might be too literal with the tube skirt and I like the eclectic mix here.</p> <p>PS: apropos of nothing, I am learning to knit brioche. I may never get past scarves&nbsp;in this venture, but you are an inspiration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-little-bit-steampunk#post-1739584 Thu, 13 Oct 2016 19:41:48 +0000 AJ 1739584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like how all the layers blend nicely together in the last pic! &nbsp;</p> <p>You've inspired me to play around with this silhouette.&nbsp;</p> <p>Yes, I agree that the suede cowboy boots (AWESOME by the way) are a good choice. YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-little-bit-steampunk#post-1739557 Thu, 13 Oct 2016 19:00:58 +0000 Astrid 1739557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! But I have to confess I would have liked to see it with lace up boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-little-bit-steampunk#post-1739555 Thu, 13 Oct 2016 18:58:06 +0000 Sara L. 1739555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the waistcoat over the long tee.&nbsp; The asymmetric hem on the tee is shown off nicely.&nbsp; I think it has a bit of steampunk but not too much.&nbsp; I think the lace up boots might have still worked without getting into costume territory.&nbsp; </p> <p>I really wish it would cool off here enough that I could wear boots.&nbsp; It's supposed to be 77 today and 84 on Saturday.&nbsp; Even for Albuquerque that's too warm for mid-October.&nbsp; We're not Phoenix - it's a high desert and gets cold (but not Canada cold) in the winter (high's in 30-40's, lows in the 10-20's).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-little-bit-steampunk#post-1739532 Thu, 13 Oct 2016 17:04:39 +0000 Diana 1739532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today, I'm wearing a handknit waistcoat layered over my voluminous allsaints tee and the ubiquitous VC tube skirt.&nbsp; I think I've mentioned here recently that I find this super hectically oversized tee too voluminous these days, but I'm enjoying finding ways to layer over it to rein in the volume.&nbsp; I thought this combo looked a little steampunky with the fitted waistcoat and circus stripes.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Lace up boots seemed like they would be too costumey, so I opted for my slouchy suede cowboy boots instead.&nbsp; What do you think?&nbsp; I'm enjoying getting back to my old neo-Victorian ways, haha.&nbsp; ;)&nbsp; </p> <p>(handknit waistcoat, allsaints tee, VC tube skirt, Sam Edelman boots, Spiegel lemming jacket, ??? scarf, Longchamp bag).</p>
