1x22 - Born Again
Here’s a final look from season one to close us out. Scully, I’m glad you got to use the only pair of glasses in D.C., but my god is your jacket out of control. Your shoulderpads appear to be encroaching on your ears in a way I find worrisome.

Scully. My love. Is this a joke? I mean, I see by your face it is not, but even the buttons on your shirt are neutral, and somehow oversized. At a certain point, Scully, I begin to think you’re doing this as an insult to me personally.

How not to costume your incredibly pregnant lead actress, Exhibit C. Look at her suit jacket! The top button is at approximately the top of her trousers, and the bottom hem is inches from her knees. Her knees! That is not an appropriate coping strategy, maternity section of wherever Scully is shopping! Is this suit Mulder’s? Did he accidentally buy 32x22 pants and was too embarrassed to return them? I really can’t think of a more likely scenario, Scully.

Scully, girl, I feel you. I mean, maybe our situations aren’t completely analogous since I want to complain about the humidity and how the weekend won’t just get here already, and you look like you want to complain about a range of things starting with how confusingly bulky your trench coat is and ending somewhere around oh my god why won’t anyone else comment on Janice’s linen safari vest, we are in Buffalo, there is absolutely no call for that.

Scully, how many times are you going to make me say “visible shoulderpads bulge”? At this point my money is on “well past the point when it loses all meaning”, but I’m hoping it doesn’t come to that. In other news, that is a nice shade of purple, but I also know that you are wearing an entire oversized suit’s worth of it, which slightly spoils it for me.

Scully, I knew we talk a big game about how you’re in love with Mulder, but I am 900% certain that this lady is your soulmate. If an oversized, over-shouldered cardigan worn over a beige dress isn’t the sign you need I honestly can’t imagine what would be.
P.S.: Don’t think I don’t see you wearing your Space Face Disease suit again.

How not to costume your incredibly pregnant lead actress, Exhibit B. No jury in the world would convict her.

The less said about about the eight-inch lapels going on here, the better. I guess technically this isn’t three neutral shades, but only because your blouse involves goofy and plot-relevant gold stars. Scully, honestly. Resorting to gimmicky theme blouses is no way to get Mulder to pay more attention to you and less attention to how hard his life is, mostly because the latter would take a bout of amnesia to accomplish.

Okay, Scully, when I suggested you look into pencil skirts, this is not what I had in mind. Partly because your jacket and skirt are both beige but don’t match, and partly because your jacket is long enough to be a dress in its own right, but mostly because that might be the worst skirt I’ve ever seen you wear. On the other hand, that cop behind Scully appears to be staring at her ass, and can we blame him? I submit that we can not.
