Oh so weird, I have a shirt just like this!! Maya is just cute as everything as always in this light wash denim shirt over a tee, and a cute little headband tied in a bow. And then… helLO collarbones! Maya slays in this floral blouse and updo.

Just…. I just don’t have words. Lucy is just, a freaking goddess. All hail Lucy! Her first outfit is a yellow top, yellow headband, a burnt orange skirt, and a jacket that’s like…brownish green? But who cares because LOOK AT HER PARTY OUTFIT. Her top is a shimmery (maybe velvety?) top with cap sleeves, a big old bow, lacing down the front, and an open back – scandalous! She wears a giant brown belt, and a sparkly layered black tulle skirt. I am shook. She accessorizes with necklaces and giant earrings. Well, as you might remember, Lucy doesn’t actually go to the party. This instead ends up being her hospital outfit. Because once she finds out LD’s diagnosis, she decides to spend the evening keeping LD company, with a teddy bear and some fashion magazines. Lucy honestly taught me a lot. Sometimes I just don’t know what to do when someone’s life is falling apart. Lucy showed us that you don’t really have to do anything, just be there.

LD’s dad! Remember this guy? (Well, it seems he’s never made an appearance on broomheadz. I just looked him up and I didn’t post him before?!) I’m pleased to see his is still the same person and hasn’t undergone some strange transformation like Michelle’s dad. He’s still got that rather unbelievable rough-and-tough-chain-smoking-mechanic thing going on, wearing a flannel.

Oh, shoot. It’s just one of the worst times ever in Degrassi High world: when LD winds up in the hospital and finds out she has leukemia. This scene just, I just can’t watch it most of the times. I am shook at this actor’s delivery. It seems so real. I guess this isn’t really any fashion worth reporting, but if you were wondering what medical gowns looked like in the 80s, here’s your answer: the same as they do today.

I really like the way Kathleen put her foot down and held strong to cut ties with Scott. Her wardrobe this episode is nothing new. For school, a striped tank top with brown slacks, and it must get chilly in the evenings, because when she goes to the movies with the Have Nots, she wears a long plaid skirt, a peachy long sleeve shirt, and a green um… shoulder-sweater. Then, hey Kathleen, why you wearing your junior high sweater dawg? Why don’t you just pass that off to me mkay?

I know Joanne played a crucial role toward the end of DH, but when you really observe Joanne in the background before all that, she’s kind of a gossiper, rumor mongerer, a meddler if you will. Look at her! She’s probably gossiping right now! She’s super eager later on to peer out the window and watch Heather and Wheels’s romantic entanglement too. Anyway, we are here about the clothes. Joanne typically has a pretty plain style – t-shirts, denim and the like, so no surprises here.

Heather is vibrant as ever – this is HER episode. She’s really kind of experimenting beyond the confines of straight black and white. First she adds pops of oranges and pinks to her black and white outfit. And then, of course, for the party, she reminds me of the Little Mermaid (although I know the green should be at the bottom and the purple up top). I think it’s a really cute and fun outfit, which she tops off with a high pony. As high as her hopes for the purpose of the party – to score Wheels. The next morning she wears a giant easter-egg-purple tee, and then that dreaded Monday, she wears a black tank and a white and black patterned skirt.

What do you think about this situation of Heather’s pursuit of Wheels? Do you think she forced things? I thought the attraction was there. Honestly, I’m really truly unclear as to why Wheels doesn’t like her. Why did he just back out like that? We’ve never even seen him into anybody but Steph. I know everyone doesn’t have to be dating in high school, but come on… I was totally rooting for Wheels and Heather… or, Wheather as you young people would say.

YES, here we are. Erica. My love, my princess, in a totally hetero way or whatever. There aren’t many shots here today, no, but I am very proud of the shots I do have today. For once the lighting is working in our favor. The trend continues – Erica is dressing a bit more “cheery” than she was at the beginning of this season. First, some black and white checkers and magenta accents, and for the party, she tries not to outdo her colorful sister, and sticks to black and white polka dots. The next morning she looks gorgeous even in a fuzzy pink bathrobe, and then that dreaded Monday she’s wearing a striped tee and a blue scarf. Angel.

OMG I am loving this Diana collection today. First she wears that yellow Stephanie Kaye shirt with a periwinkle peasant skirt… but THEN, oh god, I am dying for this purple blazer. Literally, where is this blazer now? Is it in someone’s closet? Is it in a thrift store? Is it in a landfill? Shoot, it’s just the coolest thing. And if the blazer alone wasn’t enough, Diana continues to dazzle our eyes with colors – a yellow skirt, and a multicolored blouse, and white shoes. That is a true 80s queen right there folks. And the last shot is just a regular old blue shirt.
