Style - Rachel Green Effortless Style









Post Thanks Giving, we thought we'd write about our all time favourite American icon of the century, Rachel Green.



For years the Friends style icon has covered our screens, looking impeccably effortless in her fashion selection. 














Whether it is her casual dungaree look, with a jersey top.













Roll neck and plaid skirt, denim or no denim Rachel Green had 90's style sorted.




   



  



Even work attire or an effortless party dress, we feel some of our collection unknowingly emulates Rachel's zest for fashion.
