Every year
Queen Victoria Market turns into a night market, full of great
food,
music,
art and
clothing pieces. I've been a huge fan of markets seen I was very young, probably because my mum used to drag my sister and I to every market she ever heard of. Even though I've been to most, if not all markets held around my area, Queen Victoria Market's night market always
stand out. With the
crazy buzz of people buying their food to the different types of
music playing in every corner.
Its always exciting to choose your outfit for a night out and so this is my
OOTD.
I love this outfit so much, I'm all about
prints so I love these shorts and animal print sunglasses. I kept the colours very
cool toned, with the light blue shirt and black and white accessories. The only
pop of colour is from my
bright berry toned pink lipstick. I think this look is very
effortless, the prints don't clash and the look is a very
simple, but
sophisticated.
My sunglasses are a pretty
bold statement accessory, I usually stick to very simple accessories to compliment my more out there outfit. This outfit is defiantly
all about the sunglasses. This year I've been all over the
animal print trend, I used to think animal print = cougars. I was wrong animal print if worn the right the way can look very
classy and very
young and
modern. I'm still not comfortable wearing animal print as a large part of my outfit, but I love wearing it as part of an accessory, such as the sunglasses. I love the size of the sunglasses, its very comfortable to wear and the shape reminds me of those expensive
Prada sunglasses, how it takes up half of your face. I also feel that because the print is in black and white, its not as loud and crazy and adds more of
sophistication and makes my entire outfit look more
expansive than it is.

I bought this top ages ago and haven't worn it for ever, I don't know why since every time I pull it out I'm reminded of how much I love it. The colour is so nice and the
shape gives a very relaxed and
smart look to any outfit. I feel like a lot of people
stay away from wearing
coloured shirts and stick to white and black. Which is fine, but it can easy become
boring and very
forgettable, you want to
stand out from the crowd and for your outfit to be
talked about, well I do anyway. Also I went to the market around the afternoon, so if was still fairly warm, so pushing up the sleeves gives more
movement and kept me
cool, but the shirt is long sleeved so I can roll it down when I need more protecting from the
chilling air. I knew that my
big fancy print sunglasses was my stand out accessory so I wanted the other accessories to be very
dainty and
simple.

I'm completely
obsessed with these pair of
dressy shorts. The print, the colour and the fabric. It so
up my alley, I used to always be seen in a printed skirt, but shorts are really
growing on me. I love that the fabric and the print makes the look as dressy as a skirt, but it gives me much more movement. Also it gives the look a more
manly and
strong feel, while if it was a skirt it'll give more a feminine look. I think that the
tribal print is loud, but the colour makes it
wearable and really makes it easy to pair anything with it. This is why the sunglasses and the shorts didn't clash, because they are both loud prints but with the same colour scheme,
black and white. I think this is an absolutely
essential in any girls wardrobe, a loud dressy shorts.

Apart from my sunglasses, the rest of the accessories are very simple, gold pieces. I love this gold bracelet on my right arm, its very thin so it gives a very subtle attention to my hands, I wear this when I don't want to leave my arms bare, but don't want to make a statement. It says dream in cursive writing, I love accessories with little encouraging words or phrases and it has been a huge trend for quiet some time now. On the same hand I have my rose shaped ring, I love rose shaped rings, I pair it with everything. This black colour is so cool, even though its a flower, which can be cute and girly the colour is so strong and dark it gives a twist the a very sweet piece of accessory. Onto my left arm I have my thick, gold bangle, which has the message
The best is yet to come engraved in it. Its so cute, but very meaningful and I love simple pieces of accessories like this and this bangle is in my top 5 favourite pieces. To my last piece of accessory it's my black hair tie, these have been all the rage to teens world wide. They cute and versatile, which is why they are so incredibly popular, have you ever wanted to tie your hair back, such as going out for lunch, but who would want to put of an ugly elastic hair tie on their wrist it's not cute and it cuts of circulation for me. So I'm so glad of these cute little hair ties were invented.
This is so my go to outfit, I love to look smart and put together, which this outfit is, but the shorts lets me move and all the accessories really make this outfit fun and cute. xoxo - Monica
