Really cool! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fantasy-to-reality-steampunk-week/page/2#post-1421180 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 01:09:31 +0000 Echo 1421180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This series of pictures is absolutely inspiring, Natalie. You look fabulous at every turn, and I love the way you were able to incorporate the look into your daily aesthetic without looking costumey. LOVE these outfits!</p> <p>Oh, and I have always loved your dragonfly heels, so when I saw a pair at the Rack, I brought them home immediately. They aren't comfortable enough to wear for a full day for me, but I absolutely adore them anyway!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fantasy-to-reality-steampunk-week#post-1421153 Fri, 09 Jan 2015 00:26:10 +0000 rachylou 1421153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty awesome. #12 really caused me to look twice. I like that one particularly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fantasy-to-reality-steampunk-week#post-1421137 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 23:46:01 +0000 deb 1421137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Natalie, you are so clever. Great job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fantasy-to-reality-steampunk-week#post-1421127 Thu, 08 Jan 2015 23:27:27 +0000 trekkiegirl 1421127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I love love LOVE all of this!! The corset trench and that blue jacket are amazing. But the dragonfly beetle outfit just blows me away. Love your style!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fantasy-to-reality-steampunk-week#post-1364979 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 00:12:31 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1364979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are wonderful! I love steampunk. And I am very sorry I didn't buy those dragonfly shoes last year. I was on the fence because of the height and then they were nowhere to be found in my size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fantasy-to-reality-steampunk-week#post-1362864 Thu, 25 Sep 2014 20:29:36 +0000 Day Vies 1362864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love #3, 5, 15 and the shoes in #18. I can certainly see where you're influenced by steampunk style in your "real" life. I think #3 is the perfect balance of meshing steampunk fantasy and real life. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fantasy-to-reality-steampunk-week#post-1361847 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 06:04:34 +0000 sparlingo 1361847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great job!! These all look very wearable and you seem quite comfortable and stylish :).</p> <p>My favourite is the third look with that zippered top and skirt. I'd never think to pair them but it's brilliant! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fantasy-to-reality-steampunk-week#post-1361821 Wed, 24 Sep 2014 03:52:51 +0000 Datura 1361821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love these. The beetle print shirt is so perfectly steampunk...adds the curio-cabinet/ turn of the century naturalist aspect I particularly love that makes it more "steampunk" than just Victorian. I have done a few full on steampunk costumes (one had jewel beetle wings sewn into the bodice) but my normal clothes are usually either too costume-like or too boring. I struggle to get the balance right. This is inspirational...well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fantasy-to-reality-steampunk-week#post-1361253 Tue, 23 Sep 2014 13:59:41 +0000 Sara L. 1361253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you did a great job of incorporating the steampunk theme into everyday outfits.&nbsp; Usually steampunk is such a costumey look that it's really impressive that you could translate it into work and play outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fantasy-to-reality-steampunk-week#post-1361237 Tue, 23 Sep 2014 13:40:27 +0000 Emily 1361237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad to see those fabulous dragonfly pumps getting worn! &nbsp;They are so beautiful. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fantasy-to-reality-steampunk-week#post-1361138 Tue, 23 Sep 2014 08:51:25 +0000 rute 1361138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>stunning!

I love both the more understated looks and the full-on drama of the blue dragonfly outfit.</p> <p>It's interesting how just looking at these as steampunk-inspired outfits gets me to notice little details that I might not have otherwise. Like how the neat, evenly-spaced&nbsp;rows of studs on the black bag seem very industrially inspired. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fantasy-to-reality-steampunk-week#post-1360005 Sun, 21 Sep 2014 17:05:45 +0000 rachylou 1360005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh. Very educational, Natalie. What jumped out at me as really doing the job were the coats, dark florals, and circus stripes. Particularly on the coats, lace up and a flared coat skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fantasy-to-reality-steampunk-week#post-1360004 Sun, 21 Sep 2014 17:03:14 +0000 ironkurtin 1360004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so impressed.&nbsp; I think you should dress like this all the time.&nbsp; You look great and like YOURSELF, if you know what I mean!</p> <p>What did the hub think?&nbsp; I know you value his opinion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fantasy-to-reality-steampunk-week#post-1359998 Sun, 21 Sep 2014 16:54:01 +0000 thimblelina 1359998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you did a very subtle &amp; evocative job of blending steampunk elements into your weekly wears. And considering you have three young children, I'm just amazed you are wearing proper 'outfits' period! Hahaha... Tip 'o the top hat to you m'dear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-fantasy-to-reality-steampunk-week#post-1359997 Sun, 21 Sep 2014 16:53:31 +0000 retailgirl 1359997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You nailed it! And I love the comment from the valet. I love your style...I'm matchy like you, I try to keep a theme going through each outfit but I don't want it to look costume-y, as you said. You look like someone who cares about how she looks and the elements are subtle and well thought out. </p>
