Mr. Accette Fashion 4.3: Father Finery

So yeah, Michelle’s dad has transformed  into an entirely different man, who may actually be up to 10 years younger.

I mean, I guess this is the point but, I have a distaste for Michelle’s dad but at the same time, some sympathy. He really pulls at my heart strings when he has his little breakdown trying to be a functioning human. I know deep down he’s bad and everything but … that little moment was sad.

Interesting that when he’s being all stern and mean and strict, he’s got the full getup complete with the tie. But when he breaks, he’s lost his tie and his shirt is half-open in resignation.

This is a Michelle episode so get ready for a lot. These aren’t in order and honestly I don’t feel like reorganizing these because it’s not exactly easy. So we’re just gonna jump in. Michelle’s style in DH could best be described as… “puffy”.

First she wears a fluffy polka dot blouse in a peachy hue. With it she wears a belt and a black skirt with friggin panty hose.

Then we see a v-neck blouse with like, leaves all over it. Next up is the classic Michelle floral cardi. I also got a little close up of those brown slacks she wears with it, and these strange little shoes I’ve been seeing on everyone since junior high. I dunno though, the whole thing looks comfortable, so I’m into it.

Next she’s wearing this shirt that kind of looks like denim. I also had to get a closeup of the nails, because I’ve heard comments about her having “old lady nails”. And I must admit, they’re pretty mature looking. And how about that color? It’s like… brown.

It’s hard to make out in this lighting, but first Lucy dons a blue tee and ruffly floral skirt. Then, oh then, is this perfect ensemble. She wears this cropped floral top with cutoff jean shorts, a side braid, dangly earrings, and little white Keds. I just LOVE this. I need it now.

LD’s hair is looking a little more… brushed lately! First she wears a striped tank with buttons all the way down the front, and matches it with a khaki skirt.

I’m also digging this cropped forest green sweater. This would totally fly today.

Joey, he’s always so intense. Everything is a big deal, always. Ugh, you’re exhausting.

He’s ranting and raving and brooding about all sorts of things in this episode, showcasing that little baby mullet while wearing an assortment of – you guessed it – button down shirts, open vests, and fedoras.

IDK WHY JOANNE IS TRYNA BE ALL UP IN OTHER PEOPLE’S BUSINESS. But here she is gossiping alongside Nancy, watching her spread the rumor she herself started, in this deminy shirt thing.

There is some sort of a subtle contrast between Erica and Heather this episode, style-wise. Heather’s style is kind of cheerful, normal, and routine, and Erica’s has been minimized and leans more toward the grey. Anyway, here’s Heather looking darling as always in her black and white combos.

Poor Erica. She’s looking a little rough. It’s post-procedure now for her, and she’s a tad bit down. I wonder if it’s because of how SHE feels, or because of how she thinks other people would feel if they knew. It’s probably a combination of a lot.  Well, even on her darkest of days, she is still bae. She’s wearing her grey and black ringer tee, zebra striped skirt, and a big grey jacket. Also her cross necklace.

I’m suddenly reminded of DTNG S7 when word gets out that Darcy “did the deed” so her fellow Christian friend Kim publicly shames her and demands she take off her abstinence ring. Ugh.

The Claude formula today is meeting expectations – skull suspenders, button down, tight pants, metal belt, and stylish undercut.

Caitlin, she’s kind of like…. dull… can I say that? I don’t know, the person Caitlin becomes in high school reminds me of the person Ellie became in TNG. Just, kind of, blah. How strange that one day she becomes Ellie’s mentor.

Anyway, so Caitlin is basically sketchy AF now, so here she is, sketching around in that peachy color and a grey blazer. That look on her face is always like she’s avoiding Joey and looking for Claude.
