DJH S1E13: Revolution
Airdate: 1987
Crappy picture, sorry! Here’s Spike in a royal blue oversized sweater.
Yes, this is for real. Who cares about her black cardigan or white shirt – Spike is wearing a necklace… with wooden jungle animals all over it.
Spike finally looks a little more edgy in this getup. Although I’m at a loss for words to describe it right now.
I know I’ve been sticking to fashion mostly, but since the thought crossed my mind, I thought I’d make a “discussion” post today! The topic is name repetition in the Degrassi universe!
We all know there have been two Mayas AND a Mia throughout Degrassi… But I noticed something I found funny within DJH.
Christine Nelson….
and
Mike Nelson….
These two completely unrelated characters have the same last name! Why? Was it intentional? The writers could have easily made Mike named Mike Smith or something else.
And what’s more, SPIKE NELSON and MIKE NELSON rhyme!
What do you think? Anyone else know of any other name repetitions or oddities with the Degrassi universe? I have more I’ll post about later.

Yes, I always look forward to my Spike posts. This outfit is immaculate. White button down under a red sweater cardigan, with a long plaid red skirt and black boots. SO awesome. I actually have a vintage long wool skirt and I’ve been wondering how to style it! Thanks, Spike!
Spike is a little toned-down in this taupe textured sweater. But you may notice she is doing that cool 80s-one-dangly-earring thing!
We rarely see Spike in pastel, but I love this cute checkered blue and pink top!

DJH S1E11: It’s Late!
Airdate: 1987
Time for the star of the show.
I can’t say enough how much I LOVE this look. It’s so 80s, mature woman, androgynous, punk rock, all at the same time! Somehow a blazer with shoulderpads becomes totally awesome when Spike rocks it.
Day 2 of Spike’s crappy life. She wears a red-brown cardigan over a white cowlneck sweater, …socks over pants again!?.. red-brown socks over her black tapered pants, and these awesome black pointy shoes I can’t quite make out.
Last but not least, Spike’s winter looks! Her giant shoulderpadded coat is so cute on her, especially since she’s so tiny. I love the scarves. Check the use of double-scarf in the last image!

DJH S1E9: What A Night!

I think I see it again – pants tucked into socks! And we get to see a millisecond of Spike’s supercool mature style. I love the long pleated skirt and the heels.

DJH S1E8: Nothing to Fear
Airdate: 1987
Spike may be the reason I started this (readerless) blog. Here she is wearing her classic early-Spike tapered jeans, accompanied by a thick red sweater.
She even makes gym clothes look cool. I still NEED that shirt. For gym she also wears leggings (still cool today, maybe minus the stirrups). And I’m not sure what her “skirt” is, but it looks like it might be an extra-long t-shirt!

DJH S1E7: The Best Laid Plans
Airdate: 1987
Although I can’t quite make out her ensemble, I thought I’d share. I love Spike’s ability to dress manly, womanly, maturely, and punk-rock all at the same time. I’m loving her scarf, skirt, and kitten heels.

DJH S1E4: The Cover-Up
I don’t care how bland, boring, or mean (to Shane) Spike might be, I think she is super cool.
I adore this outfit: White deep V sweater over a black tee, and acid wash skinny jeans with black shoes. She is so adorable in all her shortness.
I tried and tried to capture her school picture outfit. We only see her here for like 1 second. I can’t quite make this out, but whatever it is she’s got on, it looks incredible. A ruffly high-collared red shirt under a black blazer – I have so much love for this.

DJH S1E2: The Big Dance
At this point we are only catching glimpses of Spike in the background.
You can see her here sporting a Smiths shirt with her awesome signature hair.
Band shirts are never out of style. Gotta represent!
Would I wear it? – A band shirt, yes – but the Smiths? Not my scene.
UPDATE: Okay, I finally listened to The Smiths and I’m in love. YES I would wear that shirt. I thought it was going to be some obnoxious punk band but I was really surprised! Spike has great taste 🙂
