We are gathered here in Spike’s macaroni orange home to view her ensembles for this episode. First she wears her hair either slicked back or combed back, and a scoop neck tee with half-length sleeves. And I’ll always remember her Elvis Costello outfit. I think I was like, an actual fan of it back in the day. It’s a set of matching shirt and pants. The shirt is a very pale blue ribbed tank that has this zipper down the front, and whatever you call this kind of neckline I don’t know. Then the pants are almost 70s-reminiscent, khaki and flared with a stripe down the leg in that matching blue color. I thought it was super cool. Oh god, I just realized, my last Snake post where they are making out at the end, that’s after the concert. Spike wore this cool getup to go the concert and Snake literally wore a teaching outfit. OMG.

“Guys, like, take a downer!” Paige wears blue tinted glasses, a crocheted headband, and her hair all nicely curled under, with a denim button up shirt and a clear backpack. And then, for the 80s dance, she dresses as Madonna, in pedal pushers, ruffly socks, all black, big hair, a green headscarf, and a lot of jewelry.

Terri’s stepped up from her usual pajama and or athletic-chic style for this episode. Her hair is down and pulled half back, and she sports hoop earrings, a floral blouse, and a denim pencil skirt. She does put on a hoodie and tennis shoes though, to make it a bit more casual. And then I did throw in this pic of her from Toby’s dating computer program or whatever the heck is going on there. And that’s more of her normal style. Something you’d sleep in, except worn to school.

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.

Hazel is just over here being a diva. She first wears a purple tee with an athletic number on it and a v-neckline with eyelets. Then, a black tank, blue headband, a bulky white belt around those low-rise jeans, and those “I’m a bad bitch” sunglasses.

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.

Paige is wearing a baseball cut tee, some kind of red flare pants, black platforms, and this furry grey purse. Then she wears a pink 3/4 length top. Once again with the same hairdo.. hah, you can’t fool me! I bet this was filmed on the same day! And here we are with a tan ribbed turtleneck, and then we wrap it up with a furry jacket AND a furry purse. We are just covered in fur. I’m going to make fur a category on the blog now. PS – I just find Paige more and more gorgeous with each passing day, idk what it is, she’s just so pretty.

We’ve begun a new episode! How sad that we usually start with Ashley but then have to end with Toby? Sad fashion-wise at least. I’m sorry but these Degrassi boys don’t dress very interestingly right now (except for JT). So Cabaret is a super fun episode, I’m looking forward to getting into this. First, we don’t have to miss out on Ashley’s mushroom hair, as she wears it half down to play her funeral dirge for Terri and encourage her to sing along. Then she wears a lavender 3/4 sleeve polo thing, and it looks like her hair is pulled into a half ponytail and then full ponytail, you know what I’m talking about? I don’t know if there’s a name for that. Next, I friggin love Ash in red. She wears a red cowlneck sweater, a black miniskirt, and boots. Finally, she confronts “Paige and Terri” the band in an almost floor length denim jacket and hoop earrings.

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.

Oooh, Ashley is rocking that HIGH pony this episode and I love it. With hoop earrings as always. First she wears a black turtleneck and dark wash jean jacket. And then we wears a long sleeve red v-neck.
