steampunk in the NY Times

On the one hand, I always groan when the New York Times covers any cultural phenomenon I have any connection with. On the other, this may be a good sign for more structured clothing in the fall season and they do get props for actually finding diverse folks to photograph for a change.

I think you'd be able to carry it off quite well. You look as if you have good posture, and that's an excellent beginning point. Head up, shoulders wide and taking up your rightful space in the universe carries a lot well. As said above, a crisp white shirt and a corset/waist cincher/wide belt would be an excellent start.
