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

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.

My lovely Erica is finally starting to dress a little more like her old self! How strange and symbolic! It’s almost like beating up Liz symbolized Erica resolving her internal struggle as well, and she finally came to terms with it and is able to more forward! Erica is back to black in this cute black and white striped cardi, with a touch of cheerful yellow in the earrings!

I don’t know why Diana is making me think of Little House on the Prairie. But she is. Like Caitlin, Diana dons this dusty pink color. It’s so pathetic. It’s like a *wannabe pink*. Anyway, it’s a little better on Diana than Caitlin, I just have a personal grudge against this color.

Yo Bartie, you aren’t in junior high anymore. Take off that DJH sweater. And you know what? Give it to me. Thanks.
