Ms. Avery is here to lead the Quest for the Best team to victory! First we’ve got her in the usual trenchcoat dress, but she brightens it up with a floral scarf! Regardless, I still can’t get over the fact that this dress looks like outerwear. We would be burnin up in something like that any time of year where I live.

Oh yay! The dress Ms. Avery wore to the big dance in season 1! It looks very beauty-queen with this updo and white accessories.

And finally, we close with Avery’s attire for Quest for the Best. I totally love this, it looks incredibly comfortable. Actually, she’s dressed a lot younger today, more like a student. Long flowy blue peasant skirt, and an oversized yellow button down. Lovely.

Now for the wiser of the two – or should we say more apprehensive? Heather is graceful looking in her teal button down blouse and light blue peasant skirt. She finishes the look with black flats.

I am so positive about everyone’s clothes. But I do indeed love this sky blue dress with tiny little pleats all around – topped off with a large button down tied at the bottom.

For the longest time I thought oversized t-shirts were some strange abomination that developed from sorority girls sporting the clothes of fraternity guys in the morning because they lost their own the night before. Well, I have learned that the 80s wasn’t all spandex, leotards, and giant bows, and that most of the trends worn today were already worn before.

So yeah, Heather’s got on a GIANT bluish green t-shirt and some grey trousers. It’s so giant, it’s like a dress. Must be comfortable though.

Trish worries about Caitlin’s contagiousness wearing a short sleeved button down, open to a grey tee underneath, and tucked into a white peasant skirt. It’s warm enough that she carries her turquoise cardigan. Dang, she almost made it into the “shoulder jacket” category!

Just chillin in the sheep sweater. Pleasing audiences everywhere.

Students.. of Degrassi Junior High… please.. fix your collars! I wish I could reach into this picture and straighten it out. I’m trying to be understanding, because I know it was the style. But it kinda makes everyone look like they just woke up from a nap.

Anyway, Melanie has her red/tie scheme going today. She’s also experimented with something new – the TRIPLE PONYTAIL!!!! Obviously Alex is awestruck.

These girls wear panyhose under their peasant skirts? That kinda takes away the comfort of wearing the skirt in the first place, doesn’t it? Oh well, it’s Canada, I know it’s cold. Melanie looks really cute in this purple and navy color scheme. A nice break from her harsh reds.

Voula is wearing a yellow button down with Peter Pan collar, a red ribbon, a white sweater-vest-cardigan thingy, and a red plaid peasant skirt the day she takes a liking to Lucy.

Lucy says, “For us to be friends, I have to dress you better.” And wow, Voula is a babe (am I allowed to say that?) in leopard-print leggings, a scandalous black tank top, and tiger-stripe scarf.

Anyone ever notice how freakishly tiny Voula’s feet are? Wow! She earns her first street cred while wearing a blue and green plaid skirt, navy sweater, and Lucy’s purple good luck scarf.

Voula almost looks business casual in this matching blue skirt and jacket set.
