Emma Nelson is a mad scientist in this episode. Mad as in pissed. First she’s just glaring at Snake during family dinner, in a red v-neck tee. Is this perhaps the only time we ever see Emma in red? The next day, she’s actually wearing a labcoat over her heart-on shirt while she conducts experiments and gripes about Snake. As a long-time Archie Comics fan, though, I do love the reference to Betty and Veronica here in the dialogue. (No I have not seen Riverdale, leave me alone.) Fortunately she’s not wearing the labcoat ALL day, and she’s shown frowning in the halls wearing her cross-body bag. And for the big day, the science fair, Emma wears a horizontal-striped tank with some high-waisted, belted pants which I know for sure would not have been considered cool. An environmental/summer camp look maybe, but definitely not cool. And we conclude with Emma at home in her lime green floral pajamas.

Omg, Kendra is finally here too! They’re really dressed her up like a kid, but I love it. She’s got a boat neck top with little anime characters all over a sakura tree, a choker, and hair clips. The more I watch this show, the more I like Kendra. She’s a mood for sure. She’s kind of mean, irate, easily angered. If you watch her you’ll notice she rolls her eyes a lot. Her second outfit is a purple tee with some sort of character on it, I guess it’s supposed to be an anime character but it looks like someone drew it on the shirt with Sharpies, and a cross body bag, and jeans.

Being that this episode focuses on the grade 9s, we don’t have a lot of Emma. But first, enjoy this short sleeve blue button down. And then this white hooded tank is what she wears for picture day. Kinda weird, I don’t think my mom would’ve let me wear white. When I was her age I also felt like if I smiled while wearing, white, it would make my teeth look yellow by comparison. Anyway, please note that I did create a “sleeveless and hooded” trend category on this blog because of how often I see this.

Emma is in this purpley-pink ribbed polo shirt, her hair kinda pulled half back, these slightly flared flooding pants with like, striping on the bottom, and tennis shoes with socks. I love how it’s basically acceptable to wear tennis shoes with anything in the 80s and 90s and 2000s. Wait, is it still? But let’s get onto the real content of this post, Emma dressed up like Spike, or Cyndi Lauper as she asserts. This is the 80s dance episode by the way, and Emma and Manny have decided to sneak into the nighttime dance for which they are too young. She wears a plaid skirt, an oversized shirt tied up, a vest with buttons, and crimped and teased hair in true Spike fashion. And a bunch of eye makeup that creased terribly by the end of the night. Where’s your primer and setting spray, girl?

I think it’s really sweet that Spike’s kid babysits Joey’s kid. Emma’s already grown so much since last season. She carries out her babysitting duties in tanks and jeans, and I think she’s gawking over Craig in this one shot of her wearing a horizontally striped polo shirt.

Welcome back, Ashley! I love goth Ashley but it’s also bittersweet to know this is one of the last few times we’ll see “normal” Ashley. So, she’s still being shunned this year after taking ecstasy at the end of year party last year. She’s wearing this 3/4 sleeve top that has like, a scene perhaps? on the front but the sleeves are black. Her hair has gotten longer, and she still sports that cross body bag with her little phone tucked in the front pocket. Then we have a little shot of her wearing red, my favorite color on her.

Poor sweet little piggietailed Emma is about to get her heart stomped on. First she wears, cute like, half-pigtails, a blue v-neck, and a red zipup sweater. Then we see her in what seems to be the same zip up sweater under a puffy tan hooded vest, dark pants, and chunky shoes. She seems very…stiff in this episode, doesn’t she? No wonder Jay tries to give her a massage later. Then she’s at school in that horizontally striped sweater of greens and browns, under a sweater vest. Like, a hooded button down sweater vest. Then, a blue v-neck sweater. And she puts that puffy vest back over top, to provide padding for when her boyfriend shoves her on the ground.

It’s Ashley time! First she’s just wearing, I dunno, a black polo and blue sweater, and she’s got her hair in those twisty rows. Then she runs around in a blue turtleneck and zip up hoodie telling Jimmy not to fight Sean. He does anyway, so here she is the next day in a tan cowlneck and blue jacket, yelling at him about it.

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.
