Oh man, this Doris blouse is totally my style! It’s a beautiful pale pink color with a detailed collar. And of course accessorized with pearls.

And here’s Doris once again in this dark dress with a beige and teal floral pattern.

Time for the randos!

This kid in the hall is wearing an orange patterned sweater with some blue pants that look a bit bluer than blue jeans.

And although he doesn’t really qualify as a character, I had to include one of LD’s pinup guys, you know, to give you an impression of the ideal man of the 80s. And what do you call that thing he’s wearing – a banana hammock?

Pearls galore on the detention teacher lady. We’ve also seen her in the resource center. In real life, she was the cast’s on-set tutor. This was told to me by the lovely Colleen Lam, who portrayed Vivian Wong. I am lucky enough to have her attention on Instagram.

These. These two fools are the jerks who are trying to get Spike removed from school. Look at that lady’s mean and nasty face. She’s saying “That girl is NOT staying at Degrassi!” (Have I seen this too many times?) She’s wearing a brown trenchcoat thing to hide any clues that she may have a figure under there. For good measure, a big old skirt, and a buttoned blouse closed up tight to the neck with a big bow so everyone knows she’s super straight-laced.

So apparently they completely redid WordPress and I’m having a crap time with it.

Poor Doris, having to go on porno patrol in the lockers. Her white blouse is super adorable and has a pattern of tiny blue bows all over it. She wears with it a blue belt and skirt.

Ms. Avery surveys the classroom in a giant yellow button down blouse tucked into a light navy skirt, and accessorized in a light blue belt, some pearls, and an adorable blue shiny bow in her hair.

I’m amazed at how crisp Stephanie’s mom’s clothes are. She can do MY laundry anytime! Ms. Kaye is up bright and early in a yellow (?) turtleneck under a red sweater, with a khaki colored skirt.

Ms. Kaye has kicked it up a few notches now that Jerry has come over. They are getting cozy on the couch while she wears a silky royal blue blouse and some pearls. HAWT.

As we can see, Stephanie’s aesthetic efforts are starting to slip. This is where she doesn’t really care if her shirt is untucked. She didn’t even bother to change clothes today. And her hair… is looking a little flat.

Steph tried a little bit today, but she’s still not glowing with her usual proud and skanky aura. She feminizes this forest green tee with some pearls and a pink hair clip. Makeup and hair teasing appear to be minimal.

Alright, first here’s Erica in her underwear. Maybe I’m just being a creep. Kidding – this is actually noteworthy because, to my knowledge, people don’t wear slips anymore; amirite? She is trying to find a dress for the dance. First she picks out this black dress with a white pattern on it, but quickly changes her mind when she sees Heather has picked the same dress. (You’ll see it better in the Heather post.) Then she considers this awesome black-and-white striped t-shirt dress. I love them both. I gotta say, I adore the black-and-white era for Heather and Erica.

For the dance, Erica selected a lacy white off-the shoulder dress decked in a thick black belt, globs of pears, and a white headband.

It’s the Monday after the dance and I gotta say, Erica’s outfit it super fun. From top to bottom: white headband, dangly earrings, silky red scarf (for the sore throat), white tee under a black vest, a tulle-y black and white skirt, with black and white checkered tights!

It must be casual Friday at the DJH office. The normally formal Doris looks a little more lax in this checkered blouse of red, blue, and purple. Pearls can dress anything up though.

Alexa doubles up the v-necks in a cute combo of pink and blue.

I love Alexa’s dress for the dance. It’s so simple yet chic. It’s a boxy pink shift dress matched with pearls.

Alexa is still reeling from the awesome dance. She’s sporting a teal, long-sleeved flowy button down with a fitted skirt and more pearls. Lovely!

Time for another parent’s edition.

caitlin mom 1

Caitlin’s mom strikes me as such a wimp. I don’t know why. Anyway, her style is pretty cool for a grown up. She wears a silky green collared shirt with a green scarf tied in a bow around the neck. I like the neck-bow thing both she and Voula had going on. But the pearls she’s got on under the neck bow seem kinda distracting and pointless.

And here we see exactly the same thing, except different colors, and a v-neck sweater thrown over the top of it all. Pearls with a neck bow, why?

And, we wrap things up with… the same thing again.
