Okay, I can totally understand why people hate Emma. I really do. But for some reason I was just overcome with unconditional love at first sight when I first happened upon Degrassi (season 2 of TNG was airing at the time), and I just accept all her flaws with open arms. She was a firey, meddling child. She had good intentions, but she was naive. And her naivete drives her role in this episode – jumping to conclusions about Liberty and Armstrong, spreading it around the school, and assuming that she had nothing to do with it. First outfit is an awesome striped sweater of yellow, orange, and pink, paired with olive khaki flares and chunky tennies. She tops it with a jean jacket when she goes outside.  And last she wears a red zip up sweater, her cross-body bag, and red pants.

Oh man, here we are! The episode where Emma suffers PMS and starts her period, woo-hoo! First, she’s actually sporting the criss-cross part in her hair, and wearing a shirt with a horse and clouds on it, and a big chunky watch. I mean, it’s really kind of sad to sit and analyze this outfit. This is the outfit of a sweet carefree child. She’s about to cross that threshold into raging PMS, pain in the boobs, back, head, abdomen, and managing difficult bloodflow for the next few decades. I know Paige’s message is “You’re still a kid, just with a mini-pad” but it’s still sad for a kid to have to do all these things. I’m more period-positive these days but when I was twelve, HELL NO, so I sympathize with Emma here. So yeah she’s PMSing, so Spike takes her shopping, and Emma gets this new turtleneck sweater of brown, green, and blue horizontal stripes. She wears it with a khaki miniskirt. And come to think of it, I think this is the first time we’ve seen her wear something so womanly. Regardless, it gets destroyed in a puddle of blood and she’s then forced to wear XXL gym shorts to deliver an oral report. But she reports to school the next day with grace and dignity in a tan jacket and black pants. Thanks for the advice, Paige.

New episode!! This is a great one. Emma becomes a woman and Ashley grows tired of Jimmy. First Ash wears, what is this? a duster sweater thing? with a matching blue top and khaki pants. I can practically feel the physical discomfort of wearing khakis as I look at this. She embarks on her school day with her old faithfuls too – the half-ponytail and the cross body bag. The next day, as her “I actually hate Jimmy” secret has become known to Toby, she genuinely is dressed suspiciously – like she’s hiding something. She wears a drab hoodie all zipped up to hide her actual outfit. And finally, for our final outfit, the deed has been done. Ashley dumped Jimmy’s ass. She wears a cowl-neck sweater (I love her in red), a headband, and I got you a closeup of her red nails too. And don’t worry, in case you forgot, the breakup didn’t last long. I remember how it feels to suddenly be repulsed by your boyfriend. Thank goodness it’s different when you’re married I guess, because I don’t feel suddenly repulsed by my husband.

Snake’s color story remains the same – there’s no story. He wears this grey sweater and khakis, with a messenger bag.

The contrast between grade 7 and grade 8 is amazing. While Ashley is ready to go to pound town with Jimmy, Emma is still sporting pigtails and dolphin pants. THREE pigtails to be exact. Anyway, let’s start from the beginning here. First, Emma in a yellow and orange tie-dye tee. THEN is the three pigtails, the best thing ever, and her famous famous dolphin pants. In case you didn’t know already, these dolphin pants are legendary, iconic, one of Degrassi’s most famous garments. She wears a plain blue shirt so as not to distract from the pants themselves. Then, she wears three pigtails AGAIN, with jeans, a jean jacket, and a peachy tee. One time, I wore three pigtails. I think I was in kindergarten. My mom recalls the story. She said one day I woke up for school and insisted on three pigtails; nothing else would do. So, I feel ya, Emma. It’s a look.

Spike wears frosty eyeshadow, hoop earings, kinda of slicked down hair, a rusty colored v-neck tee, a cross body bag, and what looks like a denim skirt. Then she just stands by while an adult man (Tracker) chews Emma out. That was kinda weird.

Emma wears a half-length sleeve tee in green. I feel like these kinds of shirts must have a name but I don’t know. I had plenty. She too sports a cross body back and has her hair pinned half back. For parents night, she wears a 3/4 length sleeve tee decorated with grommets. She’s actually being kind of annoying this episode. But I don’t know, I just love her. Although I’m realizing more and more she’s a very difficult person right from the beginning. And finally, she wears a red tee with some denim overalls.

We begin a new episode with Ashley again. She wears her mushroom hair pulled half up, hoops, her cross body bag, and sports a purple sleeveless hooded top. For parents night, she’s ready to catch any and all casting agents, so she’s classed up her look. She wears her hair parted down the middle and pulled half back, hoop earrings, and a sleek outfit of all black – a turtleneck, pencil skirt, and mary janes.
