S5E6: I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For
Aired: 2005

This little storyline of like, Jimmy being into drawing and Ellie being into horror comics and stuff.. it seems like it’s coming out of left field. It seems forced almost. And it reminds me of how little we’re shown what these kids are actually “into”. Ellie just always seems like a sudden expert at any given thing, it’s kind of annoying.

Anyway, so her hair loves the curling wand now. And her clothes are still pretty cool but she’s definitely devolving. lol. First she wears her Emily the Strange bag with a long sleeve shirt under a short sleeve shirt and her go-to o-ring necklace. She takes Jimmy to the museum in a leather jacket, studded belt, and these flare jeans that are freaking cuffed like 6 inches. She and Paige both. How short ARE these people?! I had to buy long length jeans back then. She’s seen briefly looking cute in maroon, and finally in some graphic tee, giving Jimmy a LEADING smile.

Aired: 2005

I have so may mixed feelings about Season 5 Ellie. This is a turning point for her. And we see it in more ways that one. Since this is a fashion blog, I do need to state the obvious: her style is toning down. Yeah, sure, her wardrobe is still “edgy” or whatever in that it’s black, but it’s becoming much less experimental and much less out-there. It’s pretty much subdued. I mean, check out her hair. Yes, it’s cute, but we’ve strayed very far from the extensions, crimper, multiple ponytails, and fake bangs. Her personality is also changing. First of all, she is simping for Craig hardcore. And while part of me HATES that, another part of me really hurts for her. I mean, look how cute and hopeful she is in this last photo. But it’s just never gonna happen, Ellie. I don’t know, maybe it should have. Maybe it would have been good for both of them. Anyway, her personality is also about to disintegrate terribly. She becomes Craig obsessed, and 100% boring from this point forward. I think perhaps the show struggles to write dynamic “alt” characters. They don’t know how to make these people “alt” besides how they dress.

But anyway, let’s break down the styles of today’s episodes. Ellie has discovered the wand curler, and has taken a liking to layering. Layering jackets, shirts, and even belt and skirts over jeans. It’s a lot. She also still wears her Emily the Strange bag, gotta love the continuity with the Degrassi girls and their bags. Her color palette is greys and blues mostly. Little details include hardware like the O-ring choker the studded belt, painted nails, and a Celtic knot ring.

S4E14: Secret, Part 1
Aired: 2004

While some girls are worried about BJs and bracelets, Ashley is worried about her bipolar boo. First she’s seen brooding in a jean jacket. Then she wears this crazy shirt that looks like some sort of DIY hybrid combining tigers and basketball. She wears low-rise jeans with a studded belt, and a khaki jacket later on.

S4E11: Voices Carry Part 1
Aired: 2004

Ashley time… First she’s wearing this 3/4 sleeve boatneck shirt with like, cowboys on it? Low-rise jeans with no back pockets, a grommet belt, a leather bracelet,and this tiny backpack with purple spikes. Then she’s in skirt and leggings – I never liked this type of look where the leggings don’t go all the way down. And here in Ash’s case, she has this blank spot of leg after the leggings and then some tall socks almost reaching up to the leggings but not quite. Weird. Red converse too, to match the red skirt. Spiked belt, and a grey skull and crossbones tank over a black tee. This was almost completely an outfit you would have seen me in at this time as well. I WANTED to dress more like Ellie but ended up dressing more like Ashley if we’re being real. I also featured a closeup of her nails, which look natural, and her minimal makeup. And this image of Ashley spreading her legs on the hotel bed is just… burned into my mind, an ugly, eternal memory…

Tons of Ashley for ya today. And this is really embarrassing Ashley time. She’s just like, part of this band, hanging with the guys, thinking she’s welcome, but actually everyone hates her. That is so sad to me. Maybe because I used to hang out with a high school boyfriend and all his friends, thinkin I was so cool and totally one of the guys, but I was secretly afraid they were like “get her outta here!” She’s just in there with her keyboard, having opinions and stuff, and all the guys are resenting her. Cringe! Ashley never really fully belonged, did she? Even when she was with like Paige and Terri around this time, there was this weird friction. Even her Ellie friendship became tangential and not really cohesive with either of their lives. In actuality, Ashley is kind of a loner, isn’t she? Maybe we’ll just call her independent. Let’s get into the clothes now. Ah, the layers. First is a pink shirt layered under a grey shirt with some light wash jeans. Then is a t-ball tee – this kind of thing was super popular – wearing a shirt that had nothing to do with anything about you. Next is a fushia tee under a grey khaki lokin blazer thing, with a jean skirt and leggings. And finally, she gets kicked out of the recording session by the cowards of Downtown Sasquatch, and wears a jean jacket with casual olive khakis. She took it like a champ though, for real.

S4E2: Ghost in the Machine Part 2
Aired: 2004

We kick off Part 2 with Ashley. Ugh, reconciling with Craig unfortunately. I still don’t understand how this happens. Although, I am reminded of this one time in college, I was walking by the Student Union Building, and this super cool guy was walking past me, opening some mail. This super cool guy like hardly ever spoke and just seemed too good for everyone. Anyway, he opened this envelope and he got a huge check for a bunch of money. So he exclaimed this to me, since I was the closest person around. We weren’t friends or anything but I was low-key honored for that interaction. My point is, that good fortune can bring people together. Craig getting a whole bunch of money is what reignited the conversation between the two. Anyway, on to the fashion. Carrying over from last episode, Ash is wearing that reddish denim jacket. Then she’s in something really weird – a tee with like, denim sleeves? Not sure how that worked. Maybe it’s a tee layered over a denim shirt. But that doesn’t seem comfortable. And this shirt says “F-14 Tomcat”, which I googled, and it is an aircraft. lol. Learning every day. Her hair is just really flipped out and really choppy. I can never decide if I like it. I mean, Ashley is hot though. I feel like she’s one of those people that just exudes some type of majesty in person. Oh yeah, and I added this last screenshot to show the low-rise jeans and studded belt.

Ash is really serving some SPITEFUL energy this episode. Like OUCH. Anyway, her style is like, touches of punk rock without being too overt. Kinda subtle. Definitely realistic as well, reflecting teens at the time with limited resources still trying to convey an image. Okay, so we have the flipped-out layered hair going still. Standard graphic tees but make them edgier with a denim jacket, studded belt, or a leather bracelet. That midi skirt in the second outfit … I thought I hated it but the more I stared I realized, it works. She rocks it. And finally, Ashley transforms into full rocker-chick with the Hell Hath No Fury tees featuring Craig’s face. “It’s amazing what you can do with a computer these days.” It looks really cool with the low-rise pants and studded accessories.

S3E17: Don’t Dream it’s Over
Aired: 2004

Today I deliver to you loads of Ellie in one of her best fashion phases! So this is the episode where she’s a new girlfriend but doesn’t quite understand that being a girlfriend involves spending some alone time with the boyfriend. So let’s break down these ‘fits, shall we?

First, we have the FAMOUS Ellie side-pony for this entire episode. The first outfit is a black tank layered over black long sleeves, and accessorized with a statement belt and lots of spiky jewelry. I swear, this was my absolute dream wardrobe in high school. I didn’t quite have the resources to accomplish exactly that look but this is right up my alley. I forgot what the skirt is made of but it looks like tulle. I also got a shot of the back of her hair which features some braiding. I wonder if Ellie did that herself? Cuz we know her momma didn’t.

For the date, she wears an elegant long trench coat over a red blouse. The next fit is a zip up hoodie and some camo, over which we are again blessed with that trench. We also see the famous Ellie wedge boots. I swear, she is such a fashionista, I actually think it’s strange no one ever comments on her wardrobe.

And lastly, I just realized that the final outfit is… the same as the first outfit!

S3E16: Take on Me
Aired: 2004

Yay, we made it to the Breakfast Club episode! We get a lot of Ellie in her traditional colors. Here’s the detention outfit broken down from head to toe. Her hair is pulled half-up. She’s got several hoops in her ears, and a few chained, grommeted, and spiked necklaces. She wears a leather jacket atop a pink-ringed tank and a spiderweb mesh long sleeve. Around her wrists are studded sweatbands. She wears a pleated plaid skirt, black pants, and chunky black shoes. And of course, she carries her bag of secrets. She totally blows things with Sean and her reconciliation outfit is AWESOME, because I love Ellie in red. We don’t get to view the whole outfit from afar but it includes a red tee, jean skirt, and studded belt.

S3E15: Accidents Will Happen Part 2
Aired: 2004

Oh lord, Manny was SO close to almost upgrading her relationship to Ashley as “civil” or even “cordial”, but any damage control progress she had made came CRASHING down when Ashley heard Manny was impregnated. Anyway, she wears an obvious 2000s-rocker graphic tee under an olive khaki jacket, low rise jeans and a studded belt.
