My steampunk outfit
I need a costume for the steampunk convention, and I didn't want to do straight Victorian ladies clothing, so I opted for the Old West look:

I didn't order the guns or pants, but the hat, shirt (in ivory) and vest arrived today. I'm pleased and surprised to find that they actually fit very well, which doesn't always happen when I order clothes. And I look really cool in the hat. :-)
This outfit sparked my imagination, and I now have a steampunk character (Honesty) who lives in the Old West, and am going to be doing a NaNoWriMo story just to see how it goes. I think the West gets ignored too much in sff literature.
