The Naked Truth - Part 1 of 2 - Raincoats and the Principal's Office

At the school sleepover event (aptly named Truth Up) the PLLs discover a few truths - some of which they wish they'd never discovered. Hanna and her acute observation skills uncovered none other than Kate as the sender of that naked pic. Spencer realizes that Jason and her have more in common than dysfunctional families. Oh, wait, they are family. Half-siblings, to be more exact. In less shocking but still relevant news: Hanna and Caleb are adorable, Caleb's determination to crack Hanna's phone leads to A targeting him - or rather, his laptop - the PLL moms (minus Emily's) bond over coffee and a slight dislike over Ali, Holden is most definitely a part of fight club, Jenna and Noel are beyond creepy, and Emily teams up with Mona against Mr. Tamborelli to make up the most unlikely of friendships. Mona, apparently, knows a lot about computers and the school...not to mention school officials. Hmm...

 

Let's start off with the mysterious red trench that Spencer picked up with the mysterious claim ticket. For some reason, I can totally see Ali wearing something like this, with sunglasses and dark skinny jeans. I may need to invest in a red trench coat myself.

 

We here at YKYLF love to talk about the PLL's gorgeous manes of hair perfection but our second favorite topic? Nail color! Love how always on-trend the PLL Make-up department is, but especially love how realistic they are as well... teenagers with chipped polish is so typical.

 

Aria has been bringing us some funky accessories lately. This quirky Marc Jacobs Grosbeak Fauna necklace coordinates perfectly with her outfit, which I love. That printed dress and neon belt pair wonderfully well. The belt is a great accessory piece that speaks to the ever-growing neon trend. But this is Aria, so of course she adds...

A pair of matching Jeffrey Campbell neon clogs. It looks like something you'd wear to an 80s gardening party.

 

Back in prepster territory, Spencer's got her ever-present watch and her perfectly double cuffed sweaters. The outfit itself is classic Spence, although I'm still trying to work out whether or not that plaid shirt belongs to Toby.

 

Spencer: "I thought we'd agreed to leave the slouchy sweaters behind, Emily?"

 Emily: "It's my signature. Duh."

I would really like a peek into Emily's closet and dresser. How does she keep all those oversized tees organized? There must a room somewhere in the Marin house devoted solely to Emily's t-shirts...and maybe Hanna's old fat clothes. 

 

Like mother like daughter, no? Love Ashley's well-tailored, work-approriate, frankly-kind of expected-but-still-great, dress. Especially love Hanna's red top - the shoulders with the mini fringes are adorable. But overall, they're both still dressed impeccably.

 

And on the opposite side - it's quite clear boring, nondescript outfits run in the Randall family. (Also: Kate's kicked puppy dog face? A+. I almost believed her. Almost.)

 

Because I can't help but think that Ashley is checking out Isabel's ring and thinking, "My diamond was bigger."

 

Hanna couldn't quite last playing the sophisticated, resposible step-sister and decided to just wear a blanket off of one shoulder...that is not a fur-trimmed poncho, mmkay?

 

Ashley, however always stays in her put-together, structured looks. She undoubtedly has the best style of any mother in the TV world. She looks perfectly coiffed even though she's at home and doubting her daughter's innocence.

Can You Hear Me Now - Part 2 of 2 - The Adults

If there's an award for Best Dressed Parent, it goes to Ashley. I don't think she's ever worn a bad outfit. This is no exception - royal blue is so her color.

 

Actually, I take that back. Red is Ashley's colour (and it's a power colour, so no surprise there!). The wrap dress looks absolutely fantastic on her - and her heels are covetable.

 

Ella's style seems to be simple, loose, and comfortable. Nothing much to comment on here.

 

Isabel's cream silk shirt and pearls seem so out of place in this setting. If anything, Isabel and Kate just seem out of place in Rosewood.

 

We finally meet Hanna's father, Tom Marin. And what does he wear? A boring, typical Dad suit.

 

Or, a boring, typical Dad sweater.

 

I need a chaser after all that predictability. How about a completely unnecessary picture of Ezra on his bike - because he does have nice legs.

 

Speaking of Ez, let's review his various modes...

Ezra in teacher mode - tweed version.

 

Ezra in date mode - kitchen towel version.

 

Ezra (back) in teacher mode - brown cords version (yikes).

 

And finally, Ezra in (casual) date mode - hoodie version. Yum. I'll take this one with a side of intrigue, please!
