Here’s your Caitlin montage for this episode. She’s repetitively clad in that dusty pink color, topped off with what I like to call “the receding headband”. How the heck does that thing stay on there?

Joy is voting for Kathleen. That’s interesting. Anyway, she’s weating a pink tee with a black pattern on it, white pants, and a white headband. She’s also sporting a short haircut right now!

The headband (and perhaps the same pants) make another appearance, partnered with some black shoes and a grey sweater.

Kathleen is sporting her ironic yellow blouse with a checkered skirt and a blue headband that looks like it’s about to slip right off the back of her head.

And she campaigns for president in a really drab colored ensemble of a sweater and peasant skirt.

At the start of the episode, Kathleen is wearing an awesome button down top with a childlike color combo of stripes: red, yellow, and blue. She’s got a red mid-length pencil skirt to match. Also, I didn’t clearly capture it, but she’s got 2 berets/hair clips in her hair. Interesting. I remember doubling up on half-ponytails with hair ties, but not clips.

Next, she wears the same skirt again, with her signature white socks and black loafer things, and she tops it all of with a red and checkered shirt and red headband. In my high school, she might have been sent to the office for wearing “excessive color” (yes, that was a thing, apparently a gang symbol we wanted to avoid).

In more excessive color as she tries to get her drunkass mom to come to Quest for the Best, Kathleen wears a blue and white striped shirt tucked into a blue peasant skirt, topped with a white headband.

And lastly, Kathleen wears the light yellow top we saw her (and Steph) wearing earlier this season. With a ponytail that says IDGAF anymore.

Although I don’t find Melanie’s ensembles to be particularly marvelous, I can tell that a lot of thought and coordination was put into them, so I do appreciate that. Here, Melanie wears almost all-over navy blue with a touch of red and some white accents. The usual plaid + skirt + tie combo.

For the date from hell, Melanie dons a green flowy button down with a red bow around the neck. It’s in interesting contrast to pair these with a pink-focused floral skirt, but I suppose it works.

Kathleen 1

Kathleen is a model middle school girl in her red tee, navy cardigan, plaid peasant skirt, and white headband.

Kathleen 2 Kathleen 3

Kathleen is wearing a burgundy mid-length pencil skirt that buttons down the front. With it she’s got a button down collared shirt with pastel patterns. Also, please note the wispy bangs she’s got going on. That’s one style statement that hasn’t quite “circled back around” yet.

Kathleen and Melanie are two peas in a pod in their button downs, peasant skirts, and white ankle socks!! Heeheehee!

HAHAHHA!!! If you could encompass a character with one image.

Kathleen overhears some talk of wet dreams or something while wearing a yellow blouse under a red vest, and a white far-back headband.

Lucy 1

Lucy starts the episode in this pink jersey-fabric dress, with a scarf belt.

Lucy 2 Lucy 3 Lucy 4 Lucy 5

Get ready, because we are going to see this silky purple jacket until we are sick of it. Today Lucy is also wearing a very slouchy pink sweater with a grey polo underneath, and an orangey headband.

Lucy 6 Lucy 7 Lucy 8 Lucy 9

Today Lucy wears a greenish short sleeved button down with a delicate v neck and collar. The blouse is spotted with tiny blue dots, and the sleeves are split, a touch that I really like. She wears it with a giant pink headscarf, a black skirt, and what look to be splatter-paint patterned leggings.

Lucy 10 Lucy 11 Lucy 12

This is a cute one – long sleeveless denim overshirt over a pink sleeveless top, black skirt, and a colorful scarf around the neck, of course.

Lucy is scarfing it up today, blue on blue on blue, with her famous purple jacket.

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.

“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.
