Entering the MBFWA street style scene is a bit like becoming a metaphorical comma and jumping into the depths of 'Marie Claire'. You're surrounded by loud exclamation marks, capital A-listers, and perhaps the odd italic question mark.
From endless embroidery, to that gingham wrap blouse I had my eyes on forever, here's my MBFWA street style diary...

After day one's double whammy of ruffles and bra-flashing, things took a turn towards casual for day two.
This wrap blouse had me at balloon sleeves. Add the gingham, off-shoulder and flattering wrap shape into the mix and was hooked.
For a MBFWA street style ready look, I paired it with ripped jeans and my trusty Gucci lookalikes. I layered fishnet tights underneath to hide that cheeky slither of un-toned tummy. Truth be told: hectic days at fashion week often end up in chowing down on Dominos in your undies at 10PM.
Nope? Just me? Enough said.
These earrings look like they have been stolen from Cleopatra's treasure trove and transported into the 21st Century. I'm such a fan of shoulder-skimming earrings and I have been wearing these on repeat lately.
'Wait Rach; only one outfit for day 2?'. Read your mind, didn't I?
Fear not, I had the mandatory outfit change and I photographed my more dressy evening ensemble at my hotel, The Urban Newtown.

MBFWA Street Style Day 3: The shift dress with a difference
Shop The Look
Dress: C/Meo Collective
Blouse: H & M (Similar)
Loafers: Boohoo
Bag: Farrah & Sloane* (You can rent mine here)
Sunglasses: TIJN Eyewear*
Can you spot the circle details? Hint, there are absolutely everywhere.
I took inspiration from the unique circle details on this C/Meo Collective dress and echoed them in my earrings and handbag handle.
Although Sydney was surprisingly mild to the locals, my tropical blood couldn't hack it. I layered this cute Victoriana style blouse under my dress to stop any impending pneumonia. Just kidding, it was like 20 degrees (aka. an English Summer).
When I glanced in the mirror on day 3, I remember thinking that I looked like Disney Prince-Pirate, but in the best possible way. Yep: I'm aware that isn't even a thing.
MBFWA Street Style Day 4: The off-shoulder, embroidered, big-sleeved extravaganza
Shop The Look
Dress: Princess Polly*
Jacket: Princess Polly*
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff
Belt: Boohoo
Sunglasses: Prada @ Vision Direct*
Heels: ASOS
This dress is like a dreamy lovechild of all the trends I have been loving at the moment: off-shoulder, embroidery, bell sleeves, extra long sleeves. Then just when you thought I couldn't get anymore '2017 trend cliche', I topped it off with a corset belt, fishnets and loafers.
Although your Nan may think I'm off my trolley, I absolutely loved my final street style look!
Best of all, every single garment in this post costs less than a $100!
That's a wrap on my Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia posts!
