Here we are, in Ellie’s suck era. Like, she sucks. And also, as Alex once called her, she’s “a suck”. She’s traded in her crimper for a waver, she’s simping over a f*ckboy, and she’s cringily playing the drums. First she’s shown in a long sleeve shirt under short sleeve shirt under long sleeve shirt (Family Guy reference anyone?) Then we see her in her O-ring choker. And now let’s talk about THE outfit. Even though Ellie is already being drained of her style and personality at this point, I do enjoy this outfit and the *jaw drop* reveal they do of it. However I just noticed the sleeves don’t look very conducive to drumming. So what they’ve done with Ellie’s style here, is she’s basically a normie, but in darker colors. Though subtle, this dress is very cool with the off-the-shoulder sleeves, corset buttons, and ruffly layered skirt. I actually feel a bit sorry for her right here. She was so hopeful.

Gawd. Ellie being a drummer is the most unconvincing thing I’ve ever seen. I’m squirming. I really don’t like Ellie much from this season forward, but her situation in this episode is kinda sad. She’s being shunned by Craig and desperately she hangs out with Paige and Hazel at lunch. She momentarily convinces them to revive Hell Hath No Fury, but then the next day they’re like “umm what are you even talking about?” El’s style these days is a little less mix-n-match-DIY-mall-goth and a little more… emo meets biker or something. She’s got normal girl hair and wears a series of arguably “classier” black outfits.

I have so may mixed feelings about Season 5 Ellie. This is a turning point for her. And we see it in more ways that one. Since this is a fashion blog, I do need to state the obvious: her style is toning down. Yeah, sure, her wardrobe is still “edgy” or whatever in that it’s black, but it’s becoming much less experimental and much less out-there. It’s pretty much subdued. I mean, check out her hair. Yes, it’s cute, but we’ve strayed very far from the extensions, crimper, multiple ponytails, and fake bangs. Her personality is also changing. First of all, she is simping for Craig hardcore. And while part of me HATES that, another part of me really hurts for her. I mean, look how cute and hopeful she is in this last photo. But it’s just never gonna happen, Ellie. I don’t know, maybe it should have. Maybe it would have been good for both of them. Anyway, her personality is also about to disintegrate terribly. She becomes Craig obsessed, and 100% boring from this point forward. I think perhaps the show struggles to write dynamic “alt” characters. They don’t know how to make these people “alt” besides how they dress.

But anyway, let’s break down the styles of today’s episodes. Ellie has discovered the wand curler, and has taken a liking to layering. Layering jackets, shirts, and even belt and skirts over jeans. It’s a lot. She also still wears her Emily the Strange bag, gotta love the continuity with the Degrassi girls and their bags. Her color palette is greys and blues mostly. Little details include hardware like the O-ring choker the studded belt, painted nails, and a Celtic knot ring.

Oh yeah, I remember that Ellie is kinda questioning this ribbon campaign. There’s a lot to unpack there. She and Sean were like “Um no thanks.” It’s hard to say why. I mean, I guess they both thought it was better to simply not engage, to not get involved. Emma and friends were, seemingly, about REVENGE. And Sean and Ellie probably would have just been more content to ignore Rick’s existence. Then again, they weren’t close to Terri and probably weren’t privy to the whole story of her relationship to Rick. But… neither was Emma.

Oh, right, fashion. Ellie has these cute little hair clips and a side part. As someone who is her age, I feel like those weren’t cool at the time necessarily. Because that’s exactly how we’d wear our hair in elementary school in the 90s. So why would we do this in high school? These clips are exactly what I did when I was growing my bangs out in 2nd grade, ya know? However, I do like this, I do think it’s cute, and it has risen to become a modern trend – partly thanks to the e-girl aesthetic. So technically Ellie was way ahead of her time. She also wears her red collar and a chain necklace, and some dark striped top.

Since this IS the first episode of the season, after all, I suppose they’re trying to make sure everyone gets an appearance. Y’all know I LOVE Ellie in red, so I find this outfit wonderful. I also have been curious about this hair for years, and I finally get to talk about it now. It almost looks as though strands of Ellie’s hair have been meticulously twisted to look like this. You know what I mean? Anyway, sadly we don’t really get to see this outfit but aside from the red choker and chain, I can make out an off-the-shoulder mesh shirt with either overalls or a penafore, and arm warmers with red detailing. Such a look! The other outfit shows hair clips, a graphic tee, and chain necklace.

Heck yeah, prime Ellie fashion in a nice hefty gallery today. Have I said this before? I like Ellie and Sean together. It just works. Even though Ellie has a “bad” image but isn’t really a bad girl, whereas Sean IS a bad boy, I think they’re strangely compatible. She’s in her braids phase but I think it’s super cute. The first outfit, we are in the shadowy auto shop, so all I can really make out is a leather jacket and a lot of cool necklaces. The next outfit features those inside-out seams that are coming back as I write this. She layers a couple of tops over a mesh long sleeve. She also wears her “psycho-girl” back back and her Ellie wedge boots, with a jean skirt. The jean skirt has also come back, because people are like obsessed with “Y2K”. This NEXT outfit is serious. In the best way. A red and black tee over red mesh sleeves, complete with a red collar. And then she’s wearing what I like to call the patchwork British flag shirt, with a plaid skirt and that famous triple-grommet belt. Actually, these combinations aren’t really my favorite because I prefer when Ellie incorporates more vibrant colors, like that red. I don’t care about these white and pastel and floral accents.

First, Ellie is wearing that famous “bloodstained” shirt, with black fishnet sleeves, lots of jewelry, and her side pony. Next she’s in a lacy blouse over a red bell sleeve shirt, with her high-knee wedge boots. And lastly, we don’t really see this outfit well but it seems to be a fishnet jacket with pleather detailing. It’s a shame we can’t see it well. Oh yeah, and if you would like to see her in the Hell Hath No Fury shirt, peep Ashley’s spread for this episode.

S3E17: Don’t Dream it’s Over
Aired: 2004

Today I deliver to you loads of Ellie in one of her best fashion phases! So this is the episode where she’s a new girlfriend but doesn’t quite understand that being a girlfriend involves spending some alone time with the boyfriend. So let’s break down these ‘fits, shall we?

First, we have the FAMOUS Ellie side-pony for this entire episode. The first outfit is a black tank layered over black long sleeves, and accessorized with a statement belt and lots of spiky jewelry. I swear, this was my absolute dream wardrobe in high school. I didn’t quite have the resources to accomplish exactly that look but this is right up my alley. I forgot what the skirt is made of but it looks like tulle. I also got a shot of the back of her hair which features some braiding. I wonder if Ellie did that herself? Cuz we know her momma didn’t.

For the date, she wears an elegant long trench coat over a red blouse. The next fit is a zip up hoodie and some camo, over which we are again blessed with that trench. We also see the famous Ellie wedge boots. I swear, she is such a fashionista, I actually think it’s strange no one ever comments on her wardrobe.

And lastly, I just realized that the final outfit is… the same as the first outfit!

Yay, we made it to the Breakfast Club episode! We get a lot of Ellie in her traditional colors. Here’s the detention outfit broken down from head to toe. Her hair is pulled half-up. She’s got several hoops in her ears, and a few chained, grommeted, and spiked necklaces. She wears a leather jacket atop a pink-ringed tank and a spiderweb mesh long sleeve. Around her wrists are studded sweatbands. She wears a pleated plaid skirt, black pants, and chunky black shoes. And of course, she carries her bag of secrets. She totally blows things with Sean and her reconciliation outfit is AWESOME, because I love Ellie in red. We don’t get to view the whole outfit from afar but it includes a red tee, jean skirt, and studded belt.

Ellie wears her hair pulled half up, lots of jewelry, and a strange combo today. A greenish plaid dress, mesh sleeves, and red and black arm warmers. Must be laundry day.
