Okay, Paige is not really the most relatable teenager at this point. The way she gets ready for this date and waits at a bougie bar looks like the life of a 30-year-old. But hey, what do I know, I grew up in rural & suburban Alabama.
Anyway, the first outfit is the nice greasy work uniform. Then Paige wears this blue blazer that looks to be a very light/acid washed denim, which she wears over a baby blue blouse and white cami. Her teeth are also super-white. I swear, Paige looks just darling in pastels. She hurriedly gets ready for her date with Matt. She puts in a lot of effort, wearing pointy-toe feels, a black strapless skin-tight dress with a shawl, and a black necklace. She looks amazing but like a real adult. And then Matt dumps her because she showers too much.
Next, on the steps of Degrassi, Paige is wearing layers again – a floral blouse layered over a longer cami – that was such a thing. And some flare jeans, with some pointy-toe shoes that look way too uncomfortable for school. This is where she gets high with Alex before the college fair. I think this is arguably a pretty accurate representation of getting high. It’s hard to explain and hard to portray, especially since it seems to be a different experience for everyone, but I really like how they did it here in this episode.

OMG. Mr. Oleander has returned and he looks rougher than ever. But apparently it’s all intentional. What a strange strange man. I wonder whatever became of him. He was an academic that came off the rails and chose the life of a nomad instead. On the surface it could seem like a tragic story but what if he’s much happier this way? Well, regardless, he IS a man of questionable character up to this very last moment – the moment he sketches out on Paige forever. Fashion-wise he’s giving bum – unkempt and wearing many colorless layers. Well, bye Matt.

Marco’s style is so cool. It’s so intentional, so eclectic, so multi-faceted and layered. I really do like it, because we have a severe lack of stylish guys on the show. In my opinion, it’s not exactly about whether or not Marco’s clothes are my taste. It’s more about the fact that I can tell there’s sooo much curation behind it. It’s got Marco’s intentions and self-expression so strongly. There seems to be so much autonomy behind his ensembles. He’s not just wearing what’s “cool” or what’s easy, he is experimental and I respect that so much. The first outfit is a very 2000s looking striped polo with a shark tooth necklace. And lovely curly hair. Next – you know Marco is the king of capris – he wears these cropped jeans, flip flops, and a green jacket layered over some wild green printed shirt. He seems to combine boho with athletic and it’s so odd but cool!

Hazel is just playing the role of Paige’s friend and Jimmy’s girlfriend right now so we don’t see much of her. But her hair is sleek, her brows are thin, and her bag has many pockets. She’s wearing jeans, a light blouse, and an almost blazer-like jacket.

New episode starts now, and what a morbid title we have here! I know these episode titles all come from 80s songs, but I’m not sure if I know this one or not. Anyway, we kick things off with some nice scenes of Alex and Paige at the movie theatre concession stand. Ah, that brown polyester! Then we move on to her regular clothes. Simplistic as it is, I always adore her style. That short haircut, the huge hoops, cross-body bag, tank tops with bra straps hanging out, and cool shades. Always an icon!
