Okay, so Ashley is first talking to Ellie about Ellie’s plans to move in with Sean. Later she’s taking her dads around at Parent’s Night. She wears a grey dress and some kinda grey blazer. Oh and with that, some leggings and boots. Next she’s playing at the car wash in a khaki jacket and a purpley shirt. Also featuring a grommet belt and low-rise jeans.

It’s Manny hour! Her hot tub vibe is sooo cute. I love the cherry bikini and those sunnies. Unfortunately her boyfriend is farting all over the place. The next outfit is kinda subdued, oversized 60s-mod-looking earrings, a zipup hoodie, and an orange tube top. Man, I kinda miss tube tops. Ones like what she’s got on with that thick elastic band at the top. Next she’s wearing her Asian looking blouse with the vertical striping and low rise jeans. She puts on a dark denim jacket to head over to JT’s house for sex. LOL! He wishes! This last outfit!! FINALLY we get some flash! She wears a PINK FEDORA which matchers her PINK PANTS! Also, a graphic tank and platform flip flops! I’m dying!

Emma is still all Lululemon-chic in this first shot of an olive tank. Then she’s in a zipup top with a cami underneath, and I believe a jean skirt. The next outfit is a baby blue tank and low-rise jeans. Oh yeah, and also some Vans, which she uses to trip Rick. I gotta say, Vans circled back around QUICK with even greater popularity right now. And the final outfit is more lulu in more green.

Manny is rocking some colorful athleisurewear as well. Or at least, this little top and zip-up jacket set are reminiscent of athleisure. She is wearing VERY low-rise flare jeans, as well as a messenger bag, some fun earrings, and a loose bun.

I love Manny in orange. We also see a little bit of her in this orange, yellow, and pink striped top. Sorry the pics aren’t the best quality.

We kick off Part 2 with Ashley. Ugh, reconciling with Craig unfortunately. I still don’t understand how this happens. Although, I am reminded of this one time in college, I was walking by the Student Union Building, and this super cool guy was walking past me, opening some mail. This super cool guy like hardly ever spoke and just seemed too good for everyone. Anyway, he opened this envelope and he got a huge check for a bunch of money. So he exclaimed this to me, since I was the closest person around. We weren’t friends or anything but I was low-key honored for that interaction. My point is, that good fortune can bring people together. Craig getting a whole bunch of money is what reignited the conversation between the two. Anyway, on to the fashion. Carrying over from last episode, Ash is wearing that reddish denim jacket. Then she’s in something really weird – a tee with like, denim sleeves? Not sure how that worked. Maybe it’s a tee layered over a denim shirt. But that doesn’t seem comfortable. And this shirt says “F-14 Tomcat”, which I googled, and it is an aircraft. lol. Learning every day. Her hair is just really flipped out and really choppy. I can never decide if I like it. I mean, Ashley is hot though. I feel like she’s one of those people that just exudes some type of majesty in person. Oh yeah, and I added this last screenshot to show the low-rise jeans and studded belt.

This is just downtrodden Manny being constantly pursued by and disappointed in JT. It’s kinda sad that we don’t actually get to SEE if anyone is harassing her about her pregnancy or subsequent abortion. This was to coddle the US audience I’m sure, but I wonder if anyone really would have bullied or shamed her? What kind of things might be said in the halls? First she wears this Asian-inspired blouse with a zip-up short sleeve hoodie which is kinda hilarious but also really realistic in that our outfits back then really weren’t very put-together. Next she’s seen in like a racing jacket of some kind. The next shirt is a floral ruffly bell sleeve blouse which is super cute. And finally, the famous patchwork fur jacket with casual khakis. Manny wears her hair in a resigned low bun throughout, symbolizing her shame and penance.

Ah yes, Amy gets a nice roundup this episode. She always wears a high ponytail. We see her in a couple of jackets and hoodies, and then she decides to try moving in on Sean again in a horizontally-striped v-neck and low-rise pants. I wanna just skip right to THE party outfit. It’s a great athletic-inspired off-the shoulder top, with a mini skirt and boots. Fantastic!

A new episode is already upon us. This is a fun one too, because we get to hang out with the baddies! And we kick off with Alex, one of my favorite characters ever. I love early Alex too, because she’s so intimidating and mysterious. We haven’t yet seen her living situation or her vulnerabilities. She’s got this stacked hair cut and wears a lot of plain tees, tanks, zip up hoodies, and hoop earrings. Also the headphones necklace. What are all these baddies listening to, anyway? Oh yeah, and get a load of these baggy khakis. YES. Okay, I do want to say that we see a little snippet of vulnerability when Alex is very upset about Amy passing out. I also think it’s kind of weird that like, the next school day Alex (Jay actually) is asking how Amy is? Come on. I think Alex would know. I really don’t believe Alex would avoid seeing Amy in the hospital or whatever.

Paige wears a maroon 3/4 sleeve tee with some sort of graphic design on it. She tucks her sunnies into her shirt like always, and wears that blue bag like always. She has some flare jeans on as well. We briefly see her in a pink sweater before she struts the hallway with Hell Hath No Fury.

Ash is really serving some SPITEFUL energy this episode. Like OUCH. Anyway, her style is like, touches of punk rock without being too overt. Kinda subtle. Definitely realistic as well, reflecting teens at the time with limited resources still trying to convey an image. Okay, so we have the flipped-out layered hair going still. Standard graphic tees but make them edgier with a denim jacket, studded belt, or a leather bracelet. That midi skirt in the second outfit … I thought I hated it but the more I stared I realized, it works. She rocks it. And finally, Ashley transforms into full rocker-chick with the Hell Hath No Fury tees featuring Craig’s face. “It’s amazing what you can do with a computer these days.” It looks really cool with the low-rise pants and studded accessories.
