Zeraph

I got invited to a Halloween party with a steampunk theme! I'm really excited as I've always wanted to make a steampunk outfit anyway. I'm rather limited in budget though, probably wouldn't want to spend more than 30-40$. Anyone have any tips? I figured there would be a website for this but there either isn't or my google-fu is weak. The websites I found were prefab costumes that didn't even look very cool.

So far I've got combat boots, and an old duster that I already own, so the expensive pieces are out of the way. I'm going to get cheap welding goggles and a nerf gun and spray paint it silver. Not sure what else. Maybe fingerless gloves?

I'm not sure where to get old looking pants and a shirt. Maybe Savers... Maybe get a vest?

A good steampunk costume is in the details, help!
