Yick is in this strange stage where sometimes he still resembles his pre-pubescent self and sometimes he looks like a full blown man. It’s definitely a relief to have him graduated from the crinkled oversized polos and into the tie-dye. But it looks like the “shoulder jacket” is still a thing – for anyone new here, that’s what I call the manner in which the children carry their jacket over their shoulder like Yick here.

Not much Caitlin for once – she wears a bright pink tee and carries her khaki colored jacket over her should like she’s the coolest. I find the shoulder jacket funny. I don’t know, I’ve never seen people do that. It seems like something a 50s guy would do with his suit jacket in a swanky restaurant or something. haha. Then Caitlin wears a peachy tee to the party where no one talks to her.

Yeah, yeah, great, now Liz is “officially” a character. She totally sucks, but after a couple of years of looking at her, I think she’s cute when her lips aren’t pursed together, and I like a lot of her clothes. But for the record, SHE SUCKS and I HATE HER.

Anyway, she makes her grand entrance into Degrassi Junior High hoping that none of us have noticed she’s been in the classes and hallways from the beginning. She wears a black tank over a white tank, making sure we all know that she doesn’t care about impressing any of us.

Let’s take a minute to talk about her hair. This is a REAL hairstyle – it’s called “The Chelsea”. It’s quite offensive – bleached bangs, long sides, and even two little rattails in the back. I tried to get her from all angles in this post, just so you can get the full experience of The Chelsea.

Day 2 of her “first” day at DJH – Liz wears a red tank over a white tank, and some light wash jeans. She totally looks like she “does it”. Note the shoulder jacket.

Liz sports a kind of boyish look the day after Joey tries to assault her. (ha… okay, seduce) It’s a grey short-sleeved sweatshirt, some capri-length jeans, and some black tennies with white socks. And a scowl.

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.

Heather is bae in this silky blue button down. (I’ll probably regret using that word later.)

Heather is on the far right. She’s got a cute yellow turtleneck on under her gigantic dark jean jacket, which I LOVE. She’s also sporting light wash jeans and some cute little slip-ons .

Dark denim + acid wash denim + white tee = spectacular.
