We’ve all looked to
celebrity style for fashion inspiration at some point in our lives. But it’s
one thing to say “I love her outfit,” and it’s another to actually copy it in
real life.

For this series, I’m
going the extra mile and making it happen. Each week, I’m getting inspiration
from a celebrity and copying five of her looks as closely as possible. Then,
I’m reporting back to you: Did the outfits work in real life? Did I feel
comfortable? Did people treat me differently? I’m sharing it all.

In past posts I’ve dressed like Zendaya, Gigi Hadid, Grace Kelly, Kendall Jenner, Vanessa Hudgens, Sophie Turner, Priyanka Chopra,  Millie Bobby Brown, Hilary Duff, Lily Collins, Taylor Swift, Iconic Halloween Characters, Selena Gomez, Alexa Chung, Iconic Christmas Characters, Rachel Green, Queer Eye’s Fab 5 and Monica Geller.

This week, I’m doing a second take on Rachel Green’s style from Friends!

Quick Summary of Part 1 and Rachel’s Professional Style

For my first post on Rachel Green’s style, I focused on her aesthetic through the first few seasons. That means that I wore a lot of plaid, cozy sweaters and comfy clothes. I described this vibe as a chill-but-fashionable 20 something.

It was an awesome week! I loved her outfits, they were comfortable, cute and appropriate for each day. But like I mentioned, they are almost all plaid-centric and casual looks.

So for Part 2 of my Rachel Green style guide, I’m focusing on Rachel’s style through the later seasons of Friends.

Her style through the later episodes is a change from her cutesy 20-something vibe: As she becomes a mother and embarks upon a career at Ralph Lauren, Rachel’s style becomes more put-together, professional, and sophisticated.
