Would denim jeans also work for every day steampunk? I imagine so, but, that's me.

I think there are a lot of things that are probably acceptable--though I don't really think goggles are. If you want to wear goggles on a daily basis that's your business, but you have to agree it's not within the normal realm of attire. Wearing goggles in a modern setting requires a certain disregard for the opinions of outsiders.

I tend to dress very modern in my down-time. I do gravitate towards button ups, layers, and lace, though. I evoke the victorian era by the cut of my clothes and by, like women of the victorian era, combining the masculine and the feminine. I like to wear a soft, flowy blouse under a structured blazer or even the very "in" military-inspired jackets and vests.

Some thing like these two items combined. [x][x] and then skinny jeans with a great boot[x] But that's just me. Of course, this kind of thing is much less forgiving of different shapes and sizes that a corset and a full skirt.

ps All about Denim: http://www.ehow.com/about_4682049_denim.html
might want to go with either black, gray or brown at the con though- blue jeans as we know them are pretty recent.

My everyday wear usually disregards the line between 'Acceptable Everyday' and 'Acceptable at Conventions'.

Usually whatever it is that I'm wearing has a lot of layers, but it hasn't really been like that recently because of the heat.

Usually:
Camisole
Button Up(Usually a dress shirts, but once in a blue moon it will be regular flannel.)
Pinstripe vest
Long skirts
Sometimes a pair of dress pants.
Corset
Goggles
Boots

I don't know if leggings or tights count, but usually those as well.

D: Oh goodness. I'm much too lazy for all those layers!

I mean, I wear that much for cons, but never for daily activities.

I wear it daily.
Which is kind of why I said I don't really have a line.
Mind you, I've never been to a convention. I'd love to, but there aren't any in my area as far as I'm aware of.
