Stars Hollow Style: Oy with the Purples Already! (S2 E22 “I Can't Get Started”)

0:00 I am all in all I guess you love Stars Hollow Style with Easton Allen and iHeartRadio podcast. Thank you Scott Patterson. Yes, this is Stars Hollow Style. My name is Easton Allen. Thank you so much for joining me on this episode by episode recap of the clothes of Gilmore Girls. That's right, the fashions, the styles, everything they wear.

0:36 This is a huge episode, you guys. If you hadn't seen from the title, if you can't get make it that far, we are recapping season two, episode twenty two, I can't get started. You remember this as Suki's wedding and I am so excited to talk about this. There are so many great clothes. We really really hit the jackpot here, you guys. How lucky are we that we get to relive Gilmore Girls through these iconic outfits. Let's get going the cold open. We are treated to a haunting shot of Loralai, Rory, Michelle and Suki figuring out what song she's walking down the aisle to. Purple is the dominant color in this scene. It's very interesting. Suki's wearing a purple chef shirt. Lurla has a purple cardigan

1:24 over a lavender floral dress, and Rory's wearing an off white long sleeved shirt with purple grapes. Very cohesive. They're all kind of in line here mentally, and I think they're trying to show that through the clothes. I just thought that was very interesting. After the intro Friday Night dinner, Laura's wearing a dull blue button up shirt. Not much to report. They're a pretty standard issue. We've seen it before.

1:46 Rory's wearing a black cardigan over a royal blue dress with a black floral pattern. This dress reminded me of the wallpaper of the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland. If you know what I'm talking about. If you go through the first part of the ride, you see like it's it's it's it's purple. The Haunty Mansion, this is a very dark like royal blue. But in the Honey Mansion, it's like this purple wallpaper with like kind of like a I don't know, almost like a like a like a doily.

2:21 I don't know how you describe how these scary faces, uh, And on this pattern, this wallpaper pattern, there's like ghosts in it. Laurla Rory's dress reminded me of that. I'm sorry, it just did anyway. Lorelei goes to Luke's and attempts to repair their friendship. Lorela is wearing a teal scoop neck top and a turquoise necklace. Luke is wearing a forest green flannel shirt. Two types of green in this scene. Okay, we're doing a lot of color analysis this episode, so strap in because I'm an expert. Green can often symbolize an attempt rebirth, renewal. That is what Laura is trying to do here. She is trying to renew and repair her relationship with Luke, her friendship with Luke. It is not successful in this moment, but she is trying, and

3:14 that is what I think is being symbolized by the green here. Next, we're at the doctor's office. Rory is getting her cast off and this is a strange fest. Okay, when we see Rory's cast, she now has multiple Emily the Strange stickers on there. You'll remember Emily the Strange. I think it was a Lorlay wore a shirt of this like scary looking cat a few episodes back. Maybe it was Rory. I'm sorry, but Emily the Strange seems to be a favorite of Rory's. She had put when the day she got her cast, Lane put a sticker on the cast of Emily the Strange. She now has two stickers on there. And Rory's wearing a shirt that is Emily the Strange. I mean, let's get real here.

3:58 It's a black jersey style sure, it's got red stripes on the sleeves and a big thirteen right in the middle, and then the words Strange on the top, almost like that's the name of the team. I did find an inspired scy listing of this shirt, so it was expired, but you know they're out there. They're out there. The search continues if you want to be as strange as Rory Gilmore and don't we all. Next up, there's we're having a part of pre party for Suki and Jackson's wedding, and Lora is wearing a fascinating dress, truly truly fascinating.

4:37 It's black layer over a white tank top with like a cutout that looks to me like the petals of like a daisy or some kind of flower. Very fun, very chic. Very impressed by Rory here, or sorry by very impressed by Lorali here with this flower designed dress. I thought it was really really interesting. The next morning, Lourle is wearing a pajama top. But I can't. I want your guys take on this. Actually, like go back and watch this episode. Laura's wearing what looks like a Nick and Nora top. There's like a it's it's a it's a button up like pajama shirt, you know, and not like a not like a sexy one. Like it's like long sleeve, it's got the pockets, the collar, and there's there's a pattern of what looks like a Scottish

5:32 man standing on a boulder in the words a Scotch on the rocks, and then there's like a grasshoper on it. There's other fun little little cartoons. So this I couldn't figure this out. I watched it a lot, and it looks it's a pajama shirt. I mean, that's what it is. But like she's wearing like like she's wearing this regular pants and she has a tank top under on. Underneath she's drinking coffee and clearly getting ready for the day.

5:55 But I'm like, did she get halfway dressed and she has the pajama top on? Is she going to go out? Like this is she are those pantana pants and I'm just not catching it. I thought it was it was kind of interesting, you know, I thought that was peculiar. Uh. Later on at the end, loreal I is wearing this pretty wild purple Paisley pattern top say that five times fast, with sleeves that are split down the middle except right at the top of the shoulder. This is another one that had a really interesting silhouette and a weird cut, but but it was it was kind of fun. I have not seen this shirt yet, and it's clearly in Lorelei's work closet. They love Paisley on this show. There's so much Paisley on Gilmore Girls. We see it all

6:37 the time, especially from Lorelei and Suki. They they love Paisley print and it's very fun and it shows I think they're they're wild and whimsicallatitudes. It's a good it's a good symbolic pattern for them to wear. Lorea is wearing this at work again. The sleeves like they're short sleeves, but then they just have this they're almost like two pieces of fabric falling on either part of her arm.

6:59 It was really peculiar. But oh my god, you guys, Okay, when we're talking about fashion, there is a part of this episode that cannot be ignored. It is one of the most fashionable moments of the entire season. We have to talk about Suki's wedding. We have to talk about it. We have so much to say, so much stuff that this is a perfect way to sum up the season, and we're gonna do it after these words. Okay, one second and we're back. This is Star's hollow style. We're talking about season two, episode twenty two, the season finale.

7:39 I can't get started, And just before the break, we were talking about the moment we've all been waiting for, the biggest fashion event of the season, Suke's wedding day. I love her dress. I love it so much. You don't really get to see it on the actual wedding. We get to see it in the and has seen the night before when she is when she's kind of having a crisis moment, not concerned she didn't make the right food she needed to make. More, I love her dress.

8:15 I love it. It's a long sleeve gown embellished with these little white flowers. I absolutely love Suki's dress and a moment I loved in this episode. I know we're supposed to talk about just the clothes. That's the narrow niche we've carved ourselves, but I just when Laura tells her she looks beautiful, I lost it. I cried, I wept, I openly wept. Oh my goodness, she looks beautiful, and I'm so happy for her. And now let's move on to the big day. Okay, that was the night before.

8:43 The wedding day has arrived. Rory and Loralai are wearing matches. You know, they're both bride's maids. Are wearing matching color dresses. They're slightly different cuts, but Rory and Laurli are wearing. It's a color I would describe as teal, dusty slate blue, teal dusty sleep blue. The choice of them to wear this color is incredible because of a connection to a very important moment in Suki's life as a character. These dresses are a callback to her first date with Jackson that didn't go as great as they had planned, was a little bit rocky. Season one, episode twelve is where that happens, and Lorelei says, I think I'd wear blue to the wedding. I love this. I love when things come back like this. I love that they paid this

9:34 off so exciting, just such a blast. And the blue here really makes Alexis's blue eyes totally pop. It was just great. They both looked great. So Rory's wearing a sleeveless dress with a draped cowl neckline. It looks really good. I like this dress on Rory, it looks so good. Larelai's dress fits her a bit weird. Overall, I think it looks really good as well. I just think that he could have been tailored a bit better. And it's the same color blue, slightly less cowley cow neck line, it's just slightly like like Rory's is very much like a cowl neck line, and it's uh, it's it announces itself.

10:17 But Loreleiz is more subtle and uh. And and she you know, overall, she looks good. I don't think she looks as good as Rory does in this color, but overall looks great. I'm always very critical of Dean's clothes. I'm sorry, I am. I hold him to the fire, But somehow, for this event, he has escaped his curse of always looking like a Jersey night club owner. He looks great. Instead of looking like a nightclub owner, he looks like a substitute teacher. And I think in Dean's case, that is a major improvement. He is wearing a brown jacket with a blue button up shirt and like a yellow tie with this really cool kind of nineties pattern on it. Not wildly chic, but I like when Deane cleans up. But now, you guys, before we wrap this

11:10 up and wrap the season up, I need to direct your attention if you're watching along with me on Hulu, to the background of this scene of the wedding day. If you'll look at any of the waiters, the people bringing the orders around, any of the staff, the officiant, even, you're going to see them wearing a white T shirt with a heart on it and a photo of Suki and Jackson. I love that, I look. I love it so much. I want to wear that shirt. I hope I can get one for myself. I could not find them online. I want it so badly. We have to assume that these shirts were made by Jackson's cousin, who made his pajamas that we love so much. With the pictures of him as a high school wrestler, and I believe that he came through on Jackson's big day. Really exciting.

11:56 I just love seeing that in the background, so cute. Again, I would do anything for this shirt, you guys. So that's it. That is not just a season two episode twenty two. I can't get it started. That is the end of season two. And if we're gonna talk about our least our favorite outfits and our least favorite outfits are least favorite from this episode? Uh, you know, I'm gonna do lorealized like Paisley shirt that she wore to work.

12:26 That's what I'm so what I'm gonna do there, Okay, Loreal is Paisley shirt at the end that was my least favorite. My favorite outfit has to be. I'm gonna say it's a Rory's bridesmaid dress. That's my favorite of this episode. And that's it, you guys. That was a wrap on season two of Gilmore Girls. Of the fashion of Gilmore Girls. I can't believe it. This is flown by you know what might be we didn't do this at the end of the first season. Maybe this would be kind of fun. Should we do like a like a look back on our favorite outfits from the whole season.

13:00 Would that be fun to do? Would it not? I don't know. You tune in next week and see if I do it. I don't know, No one told me to do this. I just think it might be a fun idea. I'm working this out in real time on the air, so I'll see you next week. Or maybe we'll look back on our favorite outfits for all of season two, and maybe we'll be kicking off season three.

13:22 But as always, thinks a lot. As always, thanks so much for coming along with me. This is Easton All and it is stars Hollow style and you look great. Hey everybody, and don't forget Follow us on Instagram at I Am all In podcast and email us at Gilmore at iHeartRadio dot com.
