For someone who has never done steampunk, I would suggest at least figuring out what kind of character you want to cosplay and then building from there with clothing that type of person would wear and then adding accessories. For me, steampunk is more about the Victorian style with flare added in the way of jewelry, accessories, and other things to steampunk it. Since you said you've been drawn to the genre for a while, that will help you to know what kind of accessories will work for your costume.
