Hazel’s still all about the headbands. First she’s in her cheer uniform with a matching headband. Next is this total 2000s glam look – a blue v-neck tank, sparkly necklace, low rider jeans, and slick ass shades. She accompanies Paige to the party that Dean is at. Upon her entry I managed a shot of her strappy wedges. She wears an updo and a ruffled top with floral and animal prints – or this might have been a dress, I can’t recall. Then, back at school, she wears a pink printed tee with a pink headband, hoop earrings, flare jeans, and platforms.

Marco Del Rossi Fashion 2.6

Marco is wearing an open white button down over a grey v-neck, a man necklace, some really cool slightly tinted aviator shades, and something that I need to start a new sentence for. Marco is wearing flared jeans. This is possibly the last known sighting of a man wearing bellbottoms in all of history. This is so meaningful to me. I must have lived in the 70s in a past life because the sight of a man in bellbottoms makes me incredibly happy. I am sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for the trend to come back. And I guess Marco just wears this same outfit on both Friday and Saturday because this is all I’ve got for ya.

Manny Santos Fashion 2.3

Manny wears a zip up hoodie, messenger bag, plain tee, ponytail, and flare jeans with tennis shoes. And then for the dance – the grade 9 dance which these girls decide to sneak into, Manny dresses as Molly Ringwald or something. She’s got on like, a … garden hat (I just made that up) with a dusty pink, shoulderpadded blazer, a floral vest,  and a magenta skirt, all of which could have come out of the wardrobe of DJH or DH. And she was being such a good little sidekick until Sid found out he prefers Molly over Cyndi.

So first is this babe that Toby is giving away some electronics to. I literally had a sweater just like this. Fleece was all the rage, and I think I actually had a couple of these fleece v-neck sweaters. Next I wanted to capture not only the flare jeans, but the way they are torn up at the bottom. That was inevitable because your pants had better be too long WAY before too short. Flooding pants was the ultimate laughing stock. Also note that the shoes, well, they’re not important. I remember there not being too much emphasis on shoes. Maybe that’s because we were all in middle school and to a certain degree had to work with what we could get. But you know, random chunky tennis shoes usually completed the outfit. I do have to give a shoutout to some of the shoes that would appear in the 2000s, such as Birkenstock clogs, Wallabies, and Sperrys. And skate shoes like Etnies or DCs. But if not any of those, tennis shoes sufficed. Next is a preview of possible cheerleading uniforms. And then a couple of group shots of onlookers. I see another v-neck fleece sweater, a hoodie, a visor, a chain, spiked hair, and a turtleneck, amongst other things.
