Steampunk outerwear for ladies

I was perusing Forever 21 and lamenting my slim bank account last night, when I came across their sale page. They have a great many nice military-style and steampunk-esque jackets, such as these:

Oh, my poor bank account.
EDIT: Bugger, I double posted. Can a mod remove either this one or the other? My computer is rebelling against me, obviously.....

Mod hat on
I fixed it all up for you.
I like the last bolero one best but I would totally give it better buttons. It needs shiny fancy ones.

Forever 21 is such a great store for those of us with... alternative fashion tastes. Thanks for the heads up

Nice find. I quite like the second one but the buttons look to be plastic, though quite a good laminated finish to mimic metal.
The bolero (third one) looks to have epaulettes made of that cheap-shiny-metallic fabric that cheap jokeshop armour is made of. It is what frustrates me the most about mainstream fashion trying to do military-esque styles, their approximation of metallic trim almost inevitably looks tacky. (That said, I'm probably influenced heavily by my partner who passionately hates most of that sort plastic trim.)
Hmmm... Forever 21 doesn't seem to think I'm authorised to view their page.
