Spike Nelson Fashion: School’s Out!

I’m sad Spike didn’t play a bigger role in School’s Out, but at least we get a bunch more of her in TNG! Basically, it’s just a lot of her wearing this orangey uniform to work at the photo lab. But she does have a gorgeous royal purple ruffly top and a fresh bleach job to Simon and Alexa’s wedding.

First Spike is wearing a bulky jean jacket, and next she wears this olive green top with some amazing jeans. I’m so mad that some of the best outfits aren’t really showcased, but I tried to get as much footage of the jeans as I could. They are super-destroyed mom jeans that are practically hanging open, and definitely something you would see someone wearing right now, today.

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.

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.

I wish I could have gotten more pictures of Spike when she’s being interviewed about condoms. Her hair looks awesome today and she wears a leather jacket with buttons on it. She’s so freaking cool.

Spike first spots Shane while wearing her Pogues tee and a cute snuggly looking oatmeal colored button down cardi. She wears the same sweater again with a greenish shirt and striped skirt.  And lastly, get a load of all these textures. First we have this thermal sweater, under a vest, with that skirt which starts out as jeans but becomes lacy ruffles. I also really like Spike’s skinny eyebrows. I know they’re not in right now, per se, but they’ll be back again….

Spike is lovely as ever but like, kind of sketching out on Patrick here? I don’t know, just say what you mean! She acts like totally disgusted by him, but it turns out she’s just afraid of getting hurt? I’m not quite buying that. Anyway, let’s focus on the clothes. I’m still over here wishing she could be my stylist. First day of avoiding Patrick she wears that awesome jean+ruffles skirt, with a Unicef sweatshirt that she has done some DIY work on. Then she does that layering thing that I so enjoy, with a belt and a vest. Finally, she can’t avoid Patrick any longer, since he runs much faster, so he catches up to her dressed in this tee, black denim jacket with red stitching, and a red pleated plaid skirt.

Spike is looking slightly downtrodden today. Her hair isn’t as high as normal. But she still looks cool, in this band tee and a grey vest.

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.
