Rachel taught us how to accessorize with leathery necklaces topped off with a pendant that totally meant something but also totally didn't.

When she wasn't wearing a pendant necklace, it was all about the chokers. Tight to the neck and high on style.

Leaning against a wall with legs crossed with the ankles or one foot up on the wall. Leaning toward the camera. The crossed-arm pose was so '90s and all Rachel.
