the costume/color aesthetic dichotomy in the last buffy/faith gifset you reblogged is OFF THE CHARTS
i believe this is the post to which this ask is referring and, like, yeah it’s off the charts. i’ve always loved how bold the purple outfit looks, and of course faith’s dark jean jackets are delightful (also thinking dirty girls from s7)
anyway, if i’m not mistaken, the passion of the nerd includes a bit of outfit meta in his recap of bad girls – pointing out that buffy starts the episode in the outfit from the gifset, starts to emulate faith’s look, and then goes back to a classic buffy ensemble by the end. so. good wardrobe things happening all around that ep!
