Nancy is wearing a pale lavender 3/4 length tee and some of those mom jeans that probably have an elastic waistband and no pockets. I always felt like those were pants trying to be jeans but weren’t actually jeans – imposters.

Diana’s ensemble today is an olive toned monochromatic getup: a button down short sleeve shirt and nice “mom” shorts.

Welcome to another episode of DJH S2. As per usual, we start out with Alexa. And this is a familiar image, because we see this in the show’s intro! Alexa is wearing a red sweatshirt with a cartoon animal on it (we actually have seen a few of these on people..) with a cute black collar peeping out.

The second picture I cannot fully confirm is Alexa, but I am pretty sure. Mostly because of the pants – she usually wears “mom jeans” like this. I’m liking the grey, acid wash appearance of them.

Usually I try to separate out groups of people so that I can focus on individual outfits. But this shot of Kathleen and Caitlin walking together like they’re BFFs was so odd I had to leave it together. On the left, Caitlin wears a pinkish windbreaker with mom jeans and white tennies. On the right, she’s got a cool boxy-fit striped tee.

I swear, Nancy is always wearing pink or red. ALWAYS! So today she’s in a……RED shirt with some cute light wash jeans. She always wears cute earrings that remind me of my mom in the early 90s when I was a kid.

Nancy 1

I felt this was worth mentioning – Nancy in some rolled up mom jeans, with that jacket thrown over the shoulder like she’s the coolest chick in school.

LD 1

LD has a cool vibe going on with a red and white ringer tee and a blue newsboy cap!

LD 2

LD contemplates her femininity in a red flannel shirt, mostly buttoned but revealing a red t-shirt underneath.

LD 3 this

“Which one looks better…. Like this?”

LD 4 or this

“Or that?”

LD 5 LD 6

It was kind of Lucy to help and everything, but LD sorta looks like a “lady of the evening”. However it’s really cool to see what was considered glam & beautiful makeup in the 80s. That blue eyeshadow!

LD 7

Lucy admires her work while LD tries to pretend like she likes it.

LD 8 LD 9

I had to catch this shot of LD’s jeans and white tennies. Please note the final touch of the yellow headscarf. I find all of this hilarious, LD kinda looks like a clown.

LD 10 LD 11

In all truthfulness, LD is quite pretty naturally. This facial expression reminds me of what a good actress she is – or rather, at this time, has the potential to be. Here she’s wearing her ringer tee again with a flannel shirt over it, some mom jeans, and some white tennies.

Rando 1

Here, have a random character. Her face looks disgusted as she talks about her baby daddy’s parents. This pregnant girl from Spike’s counseling group wears a very oversized pink t-shirt, and awesome tapered jeans. And… I wonder if that Joey-hat is hers?

Do you ever stop and wonder… where is that actress now? Does she ever think about how she had a line in Degrassi Junior High 30 years ago?

Random 2

I have another rando from my files: the pregnant teens counselor. I couldn’t pass this up. She’s got a short sleeve sweater over a long sleeved button down with a vigorously popped collar and a silver locket. I’d listen to what she says.

I don’t quite understand Heather’s red jacket, but it’s still cool! As always, love the light mom jeans and white tennies.

Classic blue plaid button down.

Heather 2

And I definitely had a sweater or 2 like this growing up.
