Aired: 2002

Okay so first Paige is wearing these dress pants and I can just FEEL them, I know exactly what they feel like. They’re stiff, scratchy, but stretchy and have a shimmer to them. She wears them with a ribbed bubblegum pink sweater, a clear square little purse thingie, crimped pieces of hair, and a pink barette. Next she’s got on a hunter green 3/4 length sleeve shirt with criss cross lacing at the chest, and some khakis. With more crimped hair and some face-framing tendrils.

Paige plays a big role in this episode. You know what? It’s almost as if, Paige represents the PERIOD ITSELF. It’s glamorous, mature, and womanly, a beautiful example of growing up and rising to womanhood. But it’s also harsh and painful and embarrassing and will call you out in public. Paige is a hard reality, just like puberty. So, first she is wearing these rimless blue sunglasses, hoop earrings, and her blue fur jacket. Then she busts in on Emma in the bathroom staring at her blood stained skirt. Paige herself is wearing an all-black ensemble, a black 3/4-length sleeve top and a black pencil skirt complete with frosty blue eyeshadow and a braided headband. She is kind enough to offer a pad, a few words of period advice, and a heads up about the boobs coming. Then, she signs Emma’s petition, again in the blue fur jacket, with new rimless sunglasses, and an orange tee.

Is it funny that Paige’s outfit color scheme makes me think of chocolate milk? Hilarious, because she ends up with thick chocolate milk all over her face. She too has gotten her hands on a crimper, and she’s even crimped the little face-framing tendrils. She wears her hair half back, but then puts on a headband too for good measure of something. And some hoop earrings to complete the look. But I also threw in her little floor hockey getup of a cropped hoodie and shortie shorts.

Paige sure is smug in this episode. She takes on this opportunity, when cast as the Juliet to Jimmy’s Romeo, to make Ashley squirm. Then when people start to murmur about the fact that Paige isn’t a virgin, Ashley starts to feel the pressure to put out. So first Paige is in pigtails, complete with the face-framing tendrils, hoop earrings, and a pink top. Then she wears a grey tank (I can’t make out what it says though) and lots of silver jewelry. I remember how unbelievably tacky anything gold seemed at the time. Had to stick with silver. And finally, we get a peek at this purple tank, blue bra straps? and a strawberry necklace.

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.

Time for a new episode! This one is basically TNG’s version of “The Big Dance” from DJH, so I’m all about it. We kick off with Ashley because her name starts with “A” so she’s first. She’s still sporting that cross-body bag and wears this ORANGE CAMO tank top. And it’s horrible. And I really want to take a moment here. Because I too had a love for colorful camo. In 6th grade, I had a silky, short sleeve, collared, button down BLUE CAMO shirt and it was my favorite. OMG. And it was horrible. So once again I can relate to Ashley on a real level. She also wears this tiny metallic beaded necklace – I’m not quite sure if it’s a ball bearing necklace or just shiny beads. But next, for the dance, you know it was kinda cool to be kinda casual at the school dance, right? Don’t want to look like you’re trying too hard. So Ashley wears a shimmery graphic tee, the same necklace, and hoop earrings. But she fancies it up a notch by wearing her hair half-up with these perfectly 2000s tendrils dangling down to frame her face. Oh and we have some subtle blue eyeshadow there. And finally, the morning of shame, she escorts hungover Terri wearing a periwinkle windbreaker over a blue tee, with hoop earrings, and like, half-pigtails? Peep that cell phone in the front pocket of her bag. Pretty cool, eh?

I almost forgot the deleted scenes, so I will tack them here on the end! I’m so glad to see Alexa and delighted that she is still as perky as ever! Here she wears a kimono-ish cardigan thing, and a black lacy blouse, and a beach ball under her shirt. Oh, sorry, I mean she’s pregnant…
