You might know Louella as the janitor. IRL she is also one of the script writers of the show! After a while, you can tell which episodes she wrote because she has a unique dialogue-writing style. But anyway, there’s not much to see here, she’s wearing her janitor uniform, which you may notice has a bigger pointier collar than uniforms we see today. Her fluffy bed-hair is also noteworthy. I presume this style is a bit on the unique side in 1988. (The year I was born!)

Kathleen 1

Kathleen is a model middle school girl in her red tee, navy cardigan, plaid peasant skirt, and white headband.

Kathleen 2 Kathleen 3

Kathleen is wearing a burgundy mid-length pencil skirt that buttons down the front. With it she’s got a button down collared shirt with pastel patterns. Also, please note the wispy bangs she’s got going on. That’s one style statement that hasn’t quite “circled back around” yet.

Kathleen and Melanie are two peas in a pod in their button downs, peasant skirts, and white ankle socks!! Heeheehee!

Yeah, yeah, great, now Liz is “officially” a character. She totally sucks, but after a couple of years of looking at her, I think she’s cute when her lips aren’t pursed together, and I like a lot of her clothes. But for the record, SHE SUCKS and I HATE HER.

Anyway, she makes her grand entrance into Degrassi Junior High hoping that none of us have noticed she’s been in the classes and hallways from the beginning. She wears a black tank over a white tank, making sure we all know that she doesn’t care about impressing any of us.

Let’s take a minute to talk about her hair. This is a REAL hairstyle – it’s called “The Chelsea”. It’s quite offensive – bleached bangs, long sides, and even two little rattails in the back. I tried to get her from all angles in this post, just so you can get the full experience of The Chelsea.

Day 2 of her “first” day at DJH – Liz wears a red tank over a white tank, and some light wash jeans. She totally looks like she “does it”. Note the shoulder jacket.

Liz sports a kind of boyish look the day after Joey tries to assault her. (ha… okay, seduce) It’s a grey short-sleeved sweatshirt, some capri-length jeans, and some black tennies with white socks. And a scowl.

In both of Simon’s ensembles shown here, he’s got on 3 layers, and it actually looks like 4 layers! The usual formula is a white tee, a partially unbuttoned button down, and then a grey sleeveless unbuttoned button down over the top. The final requirement is a cool pair of spring break sunglasses tucked into the front of his white tee collar. And let’s talk about his hair for a moment. I presume this was before the “spiking” of the 90s became a thing, so I suppose this is more of a “bed-head” look.

Stephanie’s dressing more… conservatively now. I can’t wrap my head around this change!

Steph 1 Steph 2 Steph 3 Steph 4

Today Steph dons a Voula-esque pink, ruffly, long-sleeved blouse with a grey belted skirt. Her style still has a degree of playfulness with the pink hair clip. And farewell, skanky clothes! Into the trash > into Alexa’s hands they go!

Okay, first of all I will point out Steph’s hair tie. I’m not sure what they are officially called, but I read that some people called them “ball-balls” or “bobbles”. I just LOVE these, I need to find some! This is a grown-up Stephanie favorite. I love this yellow button down with a pink and green floral pattern. She pairs it with a pink blazer, grey skirt, and – lookie there – a little bit of old Steph remains, in her pink butterfly belt!
