Outfit
Top: Urban Outfitters
Pants: Urban Outfitters
Necklace: Gift
Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell



On my nails, I'm wearing e.l.f - liquid metal
I bought the ring at a street fair in Washington D.C. and the necklace was a gift from my Grandma and may have originated from Israel or possibly Morocco, I can't remember. 


Special thanks to my sister for taking the pictures!


She also gave me her Jeffrey Campbell Coltranes after they didn't fit her and needless to say, I am in love!



Makeup:
Foundation: Bare Minerals
Eyeshadow: M.A.C. - All That Glitters
Eyeliner: e.l.f. Liquid Liner - Black
Mascara: M.A.C. - False Lashes Extreme Black
Lipstick: Revlon - Plum Velour


I wore this to outfit to go to a reunion for my elementary school. 

I was actually really excited to wear it, because so much of it is new. I just bought the shirt a few days ago in the Urban Outfitters sale for $9.99! 

It was also my first time wearing my new Jeffrey Campbells! My sister got them for her birthday, and when they didn't fit, she gave them to me! I adore them! 

And of course, these days you won't catch me without my trusty Revlon - Plum Velour lipstick, although the pictures don't do it justice. Seriously, if you're looking for a nice wintery red lipstick, go for it! 

My whole outfit just felt really gunmetal so I added some dark silver jewelry, which just happened to match my silver nails and my new nose piercing! 

It's always fun to look back on how your style has changed over the years, and there really is no better way to do this than reuniting with people you last saw when you were twelve. Especially with the New Year approaching, it's really cool to look back on how I used to dress and be grateful that that moment in my fashion past has passed!

Welcome lovelies! 

My name is Rachel and Neon Clutch is my attempt at a fashion blog, with a bit of music, food, DIY, beauty, art, movies, and TV mixed in. 

I decided to revamp Neon Clutch for the New Year and give it another go, and will (try) to post regularly, both here and on lookbook (http://lookbook.nu/racheled).

So here it is- my first post: My Christmas outfit of the day. 
Comfortable enough for the movies and nice enough for Chinese afterwards. The hat is new, a gift from a friend, and I couldn't resist getting into the holiday spirit and painted my nails sparkly red and silver. Happy holidays...whatever you celebrate!
