Yeah, yeah, great, now Liz is “officially” a character. She totally sucks, but after a couple of years of looking at her, I think she’s cute when her lips aren’t pursed together, and I like a lot of her clothes. But for the record, SHE SUCKS and I HATE HER.

Anyway, she makes her grand entrance into Degrassi Junior High hoping that none of us have noticed she’s been in the classes and hallways from the beginning. She wears a black tank over a white tank, making sure we all know that she doesn’t care about impressing any of us.

Let’s take a minute to talk about her hair. This is a REAL hairstyle – it’s called “The Chelsea”. It’s quite offensive – bleached bangs, long sides, and even two little rattails in the back. I tried to get her from all angles in this post, just so you can get the full experience of The Chelsea.

Day 2 of her “first” day at DJH – Liz wears a red tank over a white tank, and some light wash jeans. She totally looks like she “does it”. Note the shoulder jacket.

Liz sports a kind of boyish look the day after Joey tries to assault her. (ha… okay, seduce) It’s a grey short-sleeved sweatshirt, some capri-length jeans, and some black tennies with white socks. And a scowl.

HAHAHHA!!!Β If you could encompass a character with one image.

Kathleen overhears some talk of wet dreams or something while wearing a yellow blouse under a red vest, and a white far-back headband.

Joey has taken a liking to Liz. Hopefully she likes this blue Hawaiian shirt.

Joey considers his choices while sporting this green and orange Hawaiian shirt, cutoff sleeve jean jacket, and fedora.

Here’s a blurry camera pan shot of Erica wearing an adorable color scheme. I love the rosy, taupey button down and the pale green … vest? Is that a vest? I don’t know what to call it. And some khaki pedal pushers. Awesome!

I really like Erica’s blue flowly tapered pants, paired with this red top. The colors are so much more bold than what I see people wearing today in everyday life.

It’s everyone’s favorite school secretary, Doris! She’s looking prim and proper as usual in an updo, pearls, and a pale pink top under a patterned grey blazer.

So obviously I’m going to google Max Headroom because I have never heard of it in my life. I still don’t quite get it, but Wikipedia tells me he was some sort of CG TV host from the 80s. I know that generally the show would try to avoid all pop culture references so as not to date the show, but I guess if Spike can get away with her band shirts, BLT can wear a Max Headroom shirt. So yeah, BLT wears this Max Headroom tee with light wash jeans, white tennies, and a white cap with the bill flipped up.

Arthur is simple and chic today in a blue tee. He wears minimal accessories – a long grey and black sweatband on his wrist.

This episode we only see him sporting his Degrassi jersey, masquerading as some type of jock. Check those socks and short shorts though.

These polos were a classic for quite a long time. I love the Wheels spin on it – tight black jeans and the white tennies.

Wheels 4

We get an awesome shot here of the mullet forming, complimenting Wheels’s Zit Remedy sweatshirt.

This is a pivotal moment in Wheels’s style: HE GETS HIS FAMOUS GLASSES. Also, with his mullet coming in nicely, Wheels is really starting to look like himself.

I couldn’t leave out this screencap – This is Wheels’s death stare for Mr. Colby. Ahhh I love it πŸ™‚

Wheels takes the shoulder jacket coolness to a whole new level – by inventing… the shoulder bag-carry.
