With that said, this november is my first ball and I have a couple questions.
Style dress, is that appropiate?
I hate wearing heels and I like my height. Are flats an okay thing to wear? I said yes to the dress!
She was a waitress at Central Perk who made horrible coffee, before Rachel was a businesswoman.
She wore plenty of denim and aprons during these scenes, and my favorite looks were when she wore denim vests. I decided to replicate the time she wore one with mule shoes and whipped out the wig for this for ages being that no quantity of teasing my own hair could achieve this kind of ’90s pouf. My expression in the abovementioned photo is sincere, it was very hard and painful to sit like that. I thought it was very fitting to end it with one of Rachel’s outfits from the series finale, I began this project with Rachel’s firstever outfit on the show. Throughout the episode, Rachel heads to the airport in this very Parisian blackish and whitish ensemble. I got almost everything from the thrift store, it was ‘on trend’ at the time.
Actually the finale was actually the main Friends episode I ever watched in live time, and I bawled. For awhile because now I understand what all the fuss was and is really about, I didn’t have to see the other 235 episodes to know how influential this show was for a solid decade everything about Friends was perfectly ’90s/early ’00s, yet also somehow timeless I’m glad I binge watched for this project.
I was a mess, and I didn’t even know who Gunther was. I didn’t have to, I got the overalls at a thrift store. Overalls are sold at almost any trendy outlet at the moment. Anyway, by the end of the series, she’d gone from moderately conservative to ‘full on’ free the nip, during my extensive research, Know what guys, I was able to conclude that Rachel does not like bras. You can find a lot more info about it here. Between the slouchy overalls and sweater tied around my waist, therefore this look made me feel so nostalgic I could’ve cried. This is the case. I bought a pair of my own just a couple months ago.
I sorted through about 10 of her overall outfits before selecting this one, where she wore some sort of a bra/ bralette as a shirt, that is ironic if you know Rachel really.
I also knew it must be hard.
I knew I wouldn’t be able to pull off this assignment without properly watching the show and doing ample Rachel research first. I did just that. Of course, for starters, I look nothing like Jennifer Aniston even on her worst day. That’s interesting right? Friends fans are no joke. With that said, I knew those were will be very big platform flip flops to fill.
It still has its own Facebook page with almost 20 million likes, the show for ageser than it was on. Thank you. Know what, I knew exactly who and what she was talking about, when a Cosmopolitan.com editor suggested I recreate a bit of achel Green’s best looks. Now let me ask you something. How could you not?! She was a style icon of the ’90s and early ’00s, Rachel had her own eponymous haircut that everyone and their mom copied.
From the classic ’90s promo shoot, the next look wasn’t actually from the show.
Her makeup gets simpler as the show progresses.
I don’t know for sure how people used to do their makeup consequently, it looked like Rachel preferred a frosty rosy brownish lip color and a smoky eye, I actually was. 5 when the photo on the left was taken. So that’s what I picture in my head when I believe of Rachel Green. I wore the wig and tried to do my makeup as ’90s as possible. Actually I went shopping, that apparently is a favorite pastime of Rachel’s, I was just method acting, really, after the outfits were picked. I chose mostly outfits from the earlier for awhile being that those clothes inspire peak nostalgia. I found a bunch of items at thrift for ages being that the ’90s are back in fashion.
I also bought for ages being that Rachel’s hair was an integral part of her look.
Hairwise, By the way I was able to use my own for this look.
I’m certain Rachel would’ve gotten all this at the Gap back in the day, I had to make the tiedup shirt and take a scissors to a pair of sweatpants myself. I twisted it into one of those updos that resembles a water fountain and secured it with a jumbo claw clip #TBT. That dress is so good. Notice, we filmed a bit outside in for awhile being that we were hoping it will start raining on me, and a very kind old man who thought I was getting bridal portraits stopped to tell me congrats and how happy he was for me.
Know what guys, I felt it was important to include this very memorable moment, we first meet Rachel when she’s drenched and wearing a wedding dress after leaving her fiancé at the altar.
I said thank you.
I also wet my hair in the bathroom sink at the coffee shop, that was an interesting experience. I found my bad boy at a thrift store for $ 20 and made the veil with a headband and some tulle. Bless his soul. Whitish turtleneck shirt, grey skirt, and semisheer pantyhose. Now regarding the aforementioned fact… Did you know that the first look I wanted to recreate was the one from the credits intro. My wool turtleneck was completely soaked in sweat, the weather that day was a billion degrees with a chance of rain. Everyone knows the outfit. Plenty of info can be found easily online. We found a fountain in NYC and instead of dancing around with my five closest friends, I’m pretty sure I danced by myself with about 100 bystanders watching.
So here is the difference between Jennifer Aniston and a civilian. I’m almost sure I looked like a stuffed animal rtoise in mine, rachel somehow made her turtleneck look sexy. Through her storyline, the show perfectly encapsulates what it’s like to move to NY without a plan, chase after a career in fashion, fall in love with one of your friends, and make some questionable yet tally unforgettable for a while the way. For example, as her character developed over the course of 10 seasons, To be honest I came to find that I could actually relate to her on so many levels. It’s a well I started off the experiment thinking Rachel was a spoiled brat and her only redeeming quality was her hair. Oftentimes they also love to drink coffee at a café called Central Perk.
