Oh yes, this is a nice SLAY session here with Spike, the queen of fashion around here. Let’s just forget how dang awkward this whole dating-Patrick thing is, and look at the clothes. First, she’s just wearing her Pogues shirt all by itself. Then for the date, she wears her Billy Idol shirt. She’s done a bit of DIY to the tee by tying the sleeves up with little red ribbons. And let’s not forget this…. skirt. It’s like, you think it’s gonna be jeans, but suddenly it turns into a ruffly skirt. And it’s not just any skirt. It seems to have pockets deeper than you could imagine, holding a giant pocketbook inside. And for the final outfit, I really really love it. She wears another band tee (The Mission) with a skirt, spandex shorts, and a vest. This is sooo comfy looking yet so cool. I never know how to style band shirts. I’m just like, “here’s this shirt” and put some jeans on with it.

As much as I’d like to not include this dude/character here on broomheadz, I’m still going to. Idk, for the sake of consistency and thoroughness or something. Scott’s assortment of tight jeans and flowy shirts really paint a picture of the 80s man, complete with the baby mullet and of course the sick Degrassi jacket.

Just a few random background characters for you today. First is this girl in some sort of poncho looking thing. Then a girl in a cute striped boat neck kinda tee. Then, some nice high waisted khaki-isk pants and a sleeveless tee at the Degrassi daycare.

Patrick, he’s so deceiving. He puts on such a nice guy front, but don’t cross him. First he wears a big dark sweater with a decorative safety pin on the breast and a…. dang it what is this hat called? A newsboy hat? And we also see him wearing his Pogues shirt with suspenders.

Melanie just looks like some sort of 1950s housewife in these muted colored dresses and cardigans. Complete with that side half ponytail.

I feel like I’ve seen Lucy in this exact cutoff Degrassi sweatshirt. Nevertheless, I love it. We also see him in a tie-dyed tee, suggesting that he hangs out with others who wear tie-dye, such as Yick, which he does.

Okay, I know I’m supposed to be focusing on fashion here, but let’s take a minute to assess Grumpypants Liz’s body language here. This first outfit, where she is in this brown outfit, this is where Patrick is asking Spike out. Note the crossed arms, the judgemental face, and then the frighteningly possessive way Liz places her hand on Spike’s shoulder to lead her away. And then of course the way she’s slumped up against the fence there just shows her general disdain for everyone around her. Anyway, the outfits are fine – I do like the miniskirt, but I’m neither wowed nor offended by her attire this episode.

Welp, this is a Kathleen episode so here we have a bunch. I really liked this episode and its subject matter. (If you don’t remember, this is the episode that demonstrates domestic abuse between Kathleen and her boyfriend Scott). I know Kathleen spouts off all the cliche victim-reasonings we’ve grown up hearing. But I think this episode is a great opportunity to see the cliches in context, in action. It helps them make sense a little more.

Kathleen’s style hasn’t changed too much over the years. It’s kind of bland, sensible, proper, modest. She doesn’t get too crazy with colors. Her hair has always been beautiful and we wears it clipped half-back these days. We still see remnants of summertime in many outfits of this episode. The final top we see here, in the dark brown, is unusual for Kathleen. Maybe it symbolizes her downtrodden state after Scott’s attack.

Joey is experimenting with color and sporing the grey fedora. Well, the only thing I can really repeat here is that his style is, well, distinct. Oh yeah the little curly mullet tail is pretty cool.

This getup is a bit adventurous, but I’m digging it. Heather is wearing a polka-dot tank and a skirt with a crazy black and white pattern on it.
