I have fallen completely in love with the television show phenomenon that is Stranger Things. I seriously can’t stop thinking about it.

No spoilers ahead (I’m not going to ruin it for you!) but in all honesty, if you haven’t watched this Netflix show, watch it! Seriously, I’ve recommended this show to about everyone in my dorm. It’s that good.

The series follows four boys; Will Byers, Mike, Dustin, and Lucas, as they live their small town-life in the ’80s. When Will Byers goes missing, it is up to the boys to uncover the secrets that plague their small town. OK, I just made that sound so lame. Maybe just watch the trailer (this is the Season 1 trailer) instead: 

Though the series follows the four boys (and their BFF, Eleven, whose style we covered last week), the unsung heroine is truly Nancy Wheeler, Mike’s older sister. 

I actually love this character. Not only is she a high school student, but she actually fights monsters (all while wearing a ballet slippers necklace). Plus, I can’t get enough of this love triangle between Steve Harrington and Jonathan Byers. (Team Steve; sorry not sorry.) 

Sure, Nancy has made some mistakes. Sure, Barb deserves justice. And maybe some moments with Steve were a little questionable (not giving anything away!!). But overall, she is such an incredible, strong female character. 

And her fashion? Think ’80s prep. Though Nancy is a high school student, her outfits suggest she is a part-time librarian. The worst part? I kind of love her style.
