As you probably know, Faking It returned last week, and we’re excited. Like, so excited. After the premiere last week, I have very high hopes for the outfits this season, and that’s thanks to Beth Ann Hoppe, Season Two’s costume designer. I was lucky enough to chat with Beth about last night’s episode, including Amy’s overalls and those #Karmy sleepover shirts.

While some Amy’s crippling guilt from last week has abated, her on point style has not, thankfully. Beth said she thinks of Amy as a “feminine tomboy,” which I’d agree with, especially given those overalls she wore last night. They were like normal jeans with a bib and suspenders attached and, um, kinda perfect. Beth revealed she actually found the overalls at Wet Seal on her first shopping trip for the show—talk about something Amy is meant to wear, right? Yeah.

She expanded on her fondness for the ’90s style, saying, “The new ’90s silhouette is much more fitted, streamlined, and modern compared to the slouchy grunge overalls I wore in high school.” She also revealed who she looks to as inspiration for Amy, calling out “Alexa Chung, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, and Lou Doillon—women who can definitely pull off masculine looks without looking masculine.”

The other noteworthy look from the episode—besides that fleeting glance we got at Shane’s Frozen costume, obviously—were the #Karmy shirts Leila and Lisbeth wore to crash Karma and Amy’s sleepover. While the girls could’ve very well made their matching tees on one Friday night, they may have bought them online. And you can too, so put your iron down! Beth revealed that she got the #Karmy shirts from That Gay Site, “an online store dedicated to providing products for the LGBTQ Community.” Carter Covington—Faking It‘s creator—actually directed Beth to the site, so, yeah, #Karmy Army, he knows what’s up.
Watch the full episode below and see those overalls and tees in all their glory!
