Okay so, this is the part of the B plot where Paige is convinced she has a mullet. That’s a hilarious notion, but I don’t quite see it. I mean, I see what they tried to do. They poofed up the top and pinned it back the way someone might when trying to hide an actual mullet, but… I think they could have made this even funnier. Ah well, no shade intended. Besides the “mullet”, Paige displays excellent 2000s style. First, we get some classic tinted frameless shades. She wears a butterfly crop top that looks like it came straight out of Limited Too. It’s so hilarious how obscene and jarring low rise/hip hugger jeans look today. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’m just now coming to the realization that they aren’t “cool” anymore, but still, sometimes when I get hit with a sight of someone’s lower abdomen I’m like WHOA. And really that’s what makes me realize it’s not current anymore. Seriously, follow a few 2000s fashion accounts on instagram and you’ll come to a LOT of realizations. And you’ll probably be shocked at seeing 6 inches of skin below Paris Hilton’s bellybutton. Anyway, with this outfit, she’s also got a clear backpack. Next I included this shot of Paige from like, Toby and JT’s freakin, dream date webpage or something – not much to report, just wavy hair and a white shirt. Next, another set of low rise jeans, a crop top, and tinted glasses. This time the top is purple, complete with stars on the boobs. You know, she was slightly risque in the halls of Degrassi before Manny stole the title.

Aired: 2002

Gag me with a spoon! Once again Paige is wearing the same hair on 2 different days – a nice unfinished ponytail with face-framing tendrils. First she’s in a fuzzy mauve sweater with bell sleeves and purple headband. Next a crocheted headband, and a red cropped tee that says “I ❤ to make boys cry”. That’s a 2000s moment if I ever saw one. And there she goes, provoking Ashley to do something cool for once – and it backfires big time.

S1E13: Cabaret
Aired: 2002

I know this is a whole heck of a lot of Paige for one post, but this episode has some iconic fashion moments and I didn’t hesitate to capture everythin that felt right. So let’s break it down.

First is a blue cowlneck sweater, (and the neck itself has like, a shag carpet texture to it), with a bun, headband, and face-framing tendrils of hair. Outside she wears her tan fur jacket over it.

The PMS flyer is just the best – each girl wearing short shorts in what looks like camo, and tight fitting tees with “00” on them.

The next ‘fit is another headbanded bun, with a 3/4 length polo kinda shirt that has indiscernible images on it.  Also had to get a shot of those shimmery gold nails pressing play on the discman.

Alright, now for the cabaret outfit try-on. Black platform clog looking things. A sequined miniskirt. A sequined crop top. And when she dons this getup for the performance, she wears her hair down and curly, with a headband and blue tinted sunglasses, a #1 necklace, AND a feather boa. It truly is an elaborate look. And it’s amazing.

Aired: 2002

OMG! It’s our first Hazel feature! Hazel is basically Paige’s Manny. She’s one of the divas of Grade 8. I had to get a closeup of that cell phone to kick things off. Then she wears a tan 3/4 sleeve crop top, embellished with rhinestones, and jeans, and a swipe of shimmery liner on her eyelids. Then she pleads innocent to rumour-spreading in this blue tee, gold chain, and headband.

S1E5: Parents Day
Aired: 2001

Paige is the definition of extra before it was even a commonly used term. First she’s wearing this incredibly bland-colored 3-quarter-length tee, with her hair down and a headband. She’s listening to Ashley talk about trying to get famous after she’s discovered at the upcoming parents night. So of course Paige decides to intercept Ashley’s discovery by outdoing her, in a gold crop top, a twisty hairdo, and even a freaking like, shimmery temporary bellybutton tattoo, and a temporary tribal arm tattoo. With like some brown dress pants. It’s…. a lot… but I kinda of like it… and also kind of hate it.

It’s still so surreal to me that I have made it to TNG on this blog. I’m still laughing to myself like, “I’m literally typing ‘Paige Michalchuk’ right now. Wow.”  First she wears this shirt with “2 Spoiled” written on it, and it’s just hilarious. I kinda miss these days. “100% angel” and “Princess” and whatnot. Her hair is slightly curled under and accented with some random braids. She also wears capris, pedal pushers, whatever they’re called now. And some chunky tennis shoes. Classic! Her look for the dance is great too. A baby purple cropped tee, a miniskirt, a chain belt, hoop earrings, some platform mules, and some nice hair twists. And finally, the main ingredient on her last outfit is this smug facial expression, as she steals Terri’s man in a jean jacket, princess necklace, hoop earrings, and red-tinted sunglasses.

Paige, our iconic mean girl, makes her entrance in this famous outfit: The cropped tank that says “Hottie” on it, cuffed jeans, platform mules, a clear square purse, and those red-tinted sunglasses. It was a little hard to get screenshots, so sorry for the quality. Next we see some more sweet shades and some hoop earrings and a light colored shirt but we are seeing this through a camera viewfinder so that’s all the description I’ve got!
