Stars Hollow Style: Blue's Clues Stripes (S2 E20 “Help Wanted”)

I am all in less you Stars Hollow Style with Easton Allen, an iHeartRadio podcast.

Be Thankful We're not Gazelle's. Now go take a shower. You're starting to look like you're starring in an independent film. Hey, what's up It Stars Hollow Style. My name is Easton Allen. This is a episode by episode exploration of the clothes of Gilmour Girls. It's such a fun time. This is what we're talking about this week. Season two, episode twenty help wanted. Before we get into the close of this episode, I need to issue a formal correction. This is so embarrassing.

My wife calls this a himbo moment, but I had it last time. Nobody said anything, so nobody heard it because I like listens to this, but it still happened, and I just need to be forthcoming and transparent. At the end of the episode, I was, you know, I like to tease what's coming next the next episode, and in the era of Netflix, when you got to the end of the episode, it would say next up. Season one, episode seventeen, a disc in a task it or whatever it was. So I just continued that process into Hulu.

Now we're in the Hulu era of Gilmore Girls. It is no longer on Netflix. I got to the end of the episode and I said, I wrote this down, I didn't check it, and then I said it into the microphone and I posted it saying next up, Season two, episode twenty TV fourteen.

I thought that was the name of the episode.

I thought they were being cheeky, like I thought it was like, you know, then the episode's called some Assembly required or something like that. I thought that was a funny name. And then when I I was just watching this episode now season two, episode twenty, I know the title now is help Wanted. I got to the end and I was writing down the t's for next episode, and I was like, oh, wow, how's the same title.

Next episode's a TV fourteen. No you still no that's the rating. So I'm sorry. You guys are quite lucky. I did not say come out next. Season two, episode twenty one, skip intro. I'm just on my Ron Burgundy era. I will read whatever is put in front of me. But this week, what's in front of me is a spreadsheet, a whole layout of all the best outfits of this episode, and we're going to talk about.

Them right now.

As say did season two, episode twenty help Wanted costume designer Robin Lewis west in the cold open, Lareli and Rory are walking through stars Hollow, talking about the fight with Luke from the last episode, and Loralai is worrying a light blue rap styled collared top with a tie belt. It's kind of loosely tied to the side of her waist.

I don't love this. It looks like a like a karate ghee or something. It's kind of got some like a pastel looking blues in it. The color is nice. I just don't like the cut of this, of this top. It's I yeah, I just it doesn't I don't like this. It didn't draw me in. She's paired this with a black skirt and knee high boots with like a jade colored beaded necklace with a rectangle kind of pendant. I stared at that pendent a lot because it looked like it was maybe an image or I thought there was like a photo of somebody in you know, kind of a stamped or like engraved on this pendent. But no, it's just a just a rectangle alongside up. I don't love this outfit, but she's wearing it in the cold open, so we have to talk about it. Next up, Rory

is giving her letter to Dean, explaining what happened with the car accident, why she was with Jess, kind of her confession written down, and Dean shows up in his typical uniform. He's wearing a nineties inspired gray V neck pullover sweater. It's got contrasting red and white stripes on the sleeves. He has layered that over a brown shirt, which is layered over a white shirt, and he's got a necklace tucked underneath the collar.

Standard Dean fair.

He seems to wear this outfit a lot, and we see it again here in season two, episode twenty.

Later that night, this is kind of exciting.

Rory is having her cast wrapped up in plastic rab so that she can shower without it getting wet, and she's wearing what I think to be a very cute purple robe with floral embroidered designs on. Like the lapels of the robe, you know, I know, they're not really lapels, That's what I would call them. Just like the part with the where the robe kind of folds back at the neckline, there's these nice little flowers on there. Larela is wearing a graphic tea that looks like kind of like a Norman Rockwell style painting of like a teacher, a school teacher in front of a class of students with a with like a graph of some kind. It was really hard to figure out what that was. I stared at it a lot. It also looked like these

were very popular in this time, like early to the two thousand, thousand and one twosand and two. There's a lot of like taking those kind of vintagey like nineteen thirties or nineteen forties, nineteen fifties style like advertising images and putting something cheeky on them, like like a you know, it looked like a man in a business suit with a fedora and it'll say something like a beer, it's what's for dinner, or something like that. It looked kind of like that style of thing. I'm still not sure what it was why she's wearing it, but uh, the biggest jump scare with this with this shirt actually was I'm looking at LORIAI shirt and like, oh, she's wearing kind of weird graphic tea of like a teacher or something.

I can't really figure it out. This to me feels like a I am at home watching TV. I'm about to go to bed. Maybe I thought, I'm like, she's in her pajamas, or she's at least in like lounge.

Wear, Laura.

I stands up and she's wearing jeans. This was possibly an outside shirt. She probably went around town wearing this thing. Not the most embarrassing shirt in the world, and just a kind of a baffling one if you ask me.

So. Next up, we're going back to Rory.

She is trying to apologize to Taylor for hitting his sign with the car when she had a cr accident with Jess. She's wearing a dark washed denim jacket and a purple and white striped shirt under that that to me evoked Steve from Blues Clues. I know he wears I think he wears like green and navy that he doesn't wear his exact color, but they just looked so much like Steve from Blues Clues.

I didn't love this.

I thought it was kind of I'm gonna be a bully here. It looked dorky to me. I didn't like this. And then Lane is wearing a black denim jacket with a hoodie attached to it, like a hood attached to the denim jacket.

She's got drawstrings.

It looks like it's sewn in, but I think it's trying to give the illusion that she has layered a denim jacket over a hoodie. I own one of these back then. I thought it was cool because you get that look without having to actually layer anything.

Laide is doing that here.

And then underneath this hoodie jacket monstrosity, she's wearing a cute black T shirt with a white bird, like a kind of a children's style design of a bird embroidered on. It almost looks like the Twitter logo, actually seven years before Twitter would log on the Internet. And of course it's white with the Twitter bird is blue. Next up, we're going to talk about when Morlai is going back to work with Richard in his new office. It's an outfit that I found very compelling. But before that, there's something even more compelling, and that is commercials.

I'll be right back. We're back.

It's stars Hollow Style. My name is Easton Allen. Thanks for out with us. We're talking about season two, episode twenty Help Wanted. Richard's looking for an assistant or a secretary as he launches his new enterprise, and Lorela is helping him out in the interim. She's trying to help him find this assistant and kind of doing some day to day office tasks in the meantime. And in this scene, Loreley is deep in down dirty in the office world, and her outfit reflects these duties. She's wearing a white button up shirt that has stripes on it, like vertical stripes, but they're like kind of a like a slightly darker white than the shirt. So these are this is a white shirt with white stripes, but they're contrasting kind of darkness.

I guess you could say, to show that these are stripes. So it's it's cool because like you almost don't see it until the light hits the shirt in a certain way.

I liked it. I like the shirt. I thought it looked very nice.

She has it unbuttoned a bit revealed, a white tank top underneath, and she's wearing these gray office slacks that they fit her well. I think, I think those are nice slacks. And then she's got a cool belt. This takes her kind of I don't think you would wear this to a real office. If you got a real office job, O that think you would wear this successory.

But it's Laura, like Gilmore so she's a cowboy, especially in the world of fashion. She's wearing a cool belt buckle of a cat. It's a silhouette of a cat seen from the side and it's doing that like I called it down or dog in my notes, but I don't know if that's the right term.

But it's like when a cat does a big stretch.

It looks like that, like head down front, paws extended back, kind of arched a bit rear end up in the air. It's a cool belt buckle, looks very very retro, looked kind of swing in sixties.

I liked this belt buckle. That was kind of cool.

Next up, probably the best outfit of the episode. I don't want to spoil our final rankings here, but as we close it out, Laura Li and Rory are on the way to Emily and Richard's party, and Loaurli looks great. I love what she's wearing to this party. She's wearing a black and nude sleeveless lace bodycon dress with a V neckline and escalloped hem I really love it. I think it fits her great. It looks awesome. It's not too dressy, it's not too cash. I think it's perfect for what they're going to It's a great like summer look.

I think they stopping at cheeseburgers. She looks so chic getting those burgers in this dress. Rory, on the other hand, looks not quite as chic but still pretty cute. Rory's wearing a light blue, floral trimmed dress. It looks very urban Outfitters two thousand and one. To me, this is like it's almost like a powder blue and it's got these like really small embroidered flowers across the neckline that look like sequins, like big sequence.

You know. It's I don't know, it's kind of cute.

Then she's also wearing a light blue ribbed cardigan that matches. The colors are perfect match. They look like they were meant to be together.

You guys.

I found this floral dress that Rory's wearing. I found it on d pop. Someone is selling it on there. I couldn't see what brand it is that the tag is kind of just like a generic clothing tag, so who knows. But someone found it and they're selling theirs on depop right now. We're gonna put a link on Instagram and it's a size zero and they're selling it for eighty nine to ninety five.

But they are taking offers.

So if you want to look like Rory in this scene, you can make an offer and try to get it for yourself on depop. That's it, everybody. That is the episode. That is Season two, episode twenty help wanted. Let's talk about our least favorite and our favorite outfits from this episode. My least favorite has to go to that opening outfit.

Lauraa is like, you know, robe looking wrap. She looks like she's wearing a she was ready to break some some planks in a karate dojo.

I don't like it.

The tie off to the side on the waist is weird and seemingly non necessary. Yeah, I did not like that outfit. My favorite outfit is what Lorelei woarred to the party, the lace body contrast. I thought it looked great and fitter, really really well. Rory's dress is cute too, but it was so wrinkly hit that with a steamer.

Come on, man, let me know what you loved about this episode. We'll have a thing up on Instagram at iaml In podcast. You can let your voice be heard. And next up, next week, we're doing this again. It's season two, episode twenty one and the episode is next episode.

Just kidding, it's lorealized graduation day. So excited to do that until we do it again. Bye bye now, so well June. Hey everybody, and don't forget.
