Taking a Retrospective Look at My 14 Years Dressing in SteampunkThis Enchanted House2024-01-17 | They say you should never read the comments...but I get some really nice comments! But when some well-meaning commenters said one of my outfits wasn't steampunk, I had a moment of doubt. Just a moment mind you, because I have been dressing steampunk for 14 years.
I thought it might actually be interesting to take a look at my steampunk journey and see what can be learned about dressing in an alternative fashion. Join me as I go over the evolution of my steampunk look, explore what it takes to put an outfit together, and experiment with style.
Special Thanks to to Steve & Vicky P. for taking so my great pictures of me over the years! Also thanks to @LovelyLor for the Lolita fashion advice.

But my maximalist brain wanted something more, something over the top and cottagecore. I found inspiration in the strangest of places--the MMORPG Fallout 76. Yes, from that Fallout series set in an post-apocalyptic United States after a massive nuclear war. However, Fallout 76 had some lovely cottagecore elements in it thanks to the inclusion of the town of Helvetia, West Virginia. So I made a plan, then promptly threw out the plan when I realized it wasn't working. Luckily, my daughter Rory was helping me and she is a talented artist. I handed her control of the project and she took it to a whole other level. I am happy to share this journey with all of you and hope you enjoy the beautiful fairy tale door that's the result.

Exploring the Canterbury Medieval Faire at Lake Orions Canterbury VillageThis Enchanted House2023-07-01 | Renaissance Faires have always been a favorite escape of mine. I have been going to ren faire since I was a little girl, and I love dressing up and immersing myself in that fantasy world. But in recent years, ren faires have become super popular and really crowded. As a bit of an introvert, I can only handle so much--so I started looking for a smaller, more intimate ren faire experience. And I found a rather unique one--the Canterbury Medieval Faire which is held at Canterbury Village, an open-air mall in Lake Orion, MI.
Join me as I explore this gem of a ren faire!

I think sometimes we think there is only one way to have an aesthetic and that can be really limiting. So join me as I look at my own personal experiences and how they influence my interpretation of my aesthetics: cottagecore, steampunk, dark academia, witchcore, and whimsigoth.
