I remember hearing once that like, Oskar was gonna be basically what Marco became. If that makes sense. But, he didn’t, but we do get to see him for a while. So here’s a lovely backlit shot of him in a visor, baggy tee, and vest.

JT is forced to come face to face with the harsh and obscene reality of womanhood in this episode. Fashion wise, first he’s seen in a long sleeve grey tee. Then he delivers his subpar presentaiton in a cap, greenish tee, and orange vest. After that, Emma shuts him the hell up by announcing she had her period. Take that, JT.

Not a lot of Joey today, but first he wears a green shirt with blue vest, and then orange shirt with green vest – the latter of which is one of my fave color combos, probably because it’s so offensively loud.

First, Caitlin wears a dusty pink blouse with fluffy sleeves, her maroon vest, and a khaki pencil skirt. And this second outfit is a broomheadz fave – floral vest, TIE, and mom jeans, heck yeah!

Maya. my sweet angel, I wish she had her own storyline real bad. BUT, at least we get to see her smoke pot today, so that’s pretty cool. First, we see her in a vest and an orange tee. Then, for Diana’s party, she wears this long sleeve with like, a bird and a plant on it, with some giant pearls and hoops. And her pajamas are by far the cutest of the party, baby blue and topped with that adorable bow on her head and a teddy bear. The perfect weed smoking outfit. And finally, she returns to school in this pastel sweater. The more I think about it, the more Maya really had style.

Oh Caitlin, wouldn’t even try one puff of the green. But maybe a lot of us can see a little bit of ourselves in Caitlin. Well, maybe not the smart fashionable heart-throb bit, but maybe the shy, impressionable, and scared bit. This never crossed my mind until just now, but maybe Caitlin didn’t want to try it, because she has already been in legal trouble! She should have just thrown that out, like “Sorry, I’m on probation.” That would have put her right back on top as the coolest girl at the party. ANYWAY. Let’s get on to the fashion.

First, the girls are conspiring before class – Caitlin wears a shoulderpadded pink blouse, khaki pencil skirt, and maroon vest. While getting ready for the party, she wears a peachy tee, dark vest, floral skirt, and an updo. OH and one hoop earring and one stud. I still think that is such a ridiculous trend yet I somehow want to do it myself. My grandma actually says she does that, to go out in public, to see if anyone will tell her she’s wearing mismatched earrings. But no one does. Anyway, we’re back. It appears the ClearTech shirt is being passed around Degrassi High. Caitlin’s legacy for the ClearTech tee is refusal to try a little weed. And then, the next day, I like seriously love this outfit – a peach button down, dark tie, and mom jeans, lookin like a queen.

In my mind, this episode, for Spike, and her fashion, has always been a big deal. So let’s break it down. First, she wears like, this high-low crop top with a grey skirt, and freaking spiderweb leggings, which I am living for. Then, is THE getup, which I couldn’t grab a full body shot of, which is why you see this in segments. Let’s start with the top, okay? She’s got these clip on extension things in her hair that add so much length, her hair reaches her butt. The extensions have a curly-crimp texture with straight ends. Actually, I think she just has this piece attached to the tie of her half-ponytail. Anyway, it’s super bold and daring and very like, high-schooler, so I love it. She wears a blue tee, grey pinstripe vest, a multicolored striped skirt with a giant belt, and black oxfords with black shoes. And a lot of ear jewelry. And finally, she has her heart-to-heart with Liz wearing a classic Gourmet Scum shirt.

Edit: Commenter David cleared something up – the last shirt of this gallery is not a Gourmet Scum shirt, but a SCUM shirt – a real life band! hah thanks David.

I will respect Liz this episode because she is a human being and no human should have to experience what she has gone through. So first, I actually did a capture of a scene from her as a little girl and her sweet lil nightgown. And now, back to the present, she is wearing this yellow and black checkered shirt, with ruffly suspenders and a tennis skirt,  a moon and star earring, and some oxfords maybe? with white socks. Oh yeah and that top pony. And just a side note, this is the day where she reluctantly decides to go out with Tim, and Tim REALLY messes it up by trying to give her “a friendly kiss goodnight”. I’ve already talked about this on IG but I truly fault Tim for trying to make a move on her after she clearly communicated “JUST AS FRIENDS”. I think he got off the hook, episode-wise – the writers missed a chance to have a serious discussion about consent. It seems like the ruling by the end was like “Aw, Tim wouldn’t hurt a fly. It’s all good. Liz just got some trauma going on.” Ugh. Anyway, the next day, we got a top pony, lavender tank, black vest, ruffly grey skirt, brown belt, and the white socks/black shoes combo again – oh and a lot of anger. Justified anger. This is the day when she shares her dark childhood with Spike. It’s really a touching scene, it almost couldn’t have been more perfect – seeing Emma singing, playing in the background, safe and protected, as a contrast to Liz’s childhood. And finally, we wrap up the episode with this orange tank, and a muddy vest, and a black and white patterned skirt. I hate on Liz a lot, partly because it’s fun, but once you’ve watched DJH/DH about 164 times, she starts to grow on you a bit. (I’m still Team Erica all the way though when it comes to that beef.)

Dorothy always rocks the plaid – I love this plaid vest over the lime green. She also wears a pastel purple sweatshirt, with her hair down. And it’s just lovely. I love red hair.

Oh man, this first outfit is one of my FAVORITE Spike looks ever! And I’m just so bummed we hardly get to see her in it! I challenge someone to recreated this look and LMK! She wears her awesome DIY-lookin skirt that starts out as mom jeans and then magically turns into beautiful ruffly layers. She wears this with reddish leggings and a tight-fitting long sleeved shirt with distressing and slits all down the sleeves. I just LOVE this. And our last outfit is this murky green shirt and matching vest, worn with a belt and black bottoms.
