How to put it together
- 1
Put on the white button-down shirt and button it all the way up, leaving the collar flat.
- 2
Tie the slim black necktie around your neck, keeping it slightly loose and centered.
- 3
Pull the black V-neck sweater vest over the shirt. If DIYing, use fabric glue or double-sided tape to attach the pink ribbon along the V-neck edge.
- 4
Slip on the grey pleated skirt, tucking the shirt tails in neatly.
- 5
Pull up the striped black knee-high socks so they sit just below the knees.

Lace up your black boots or high-top sneakers with the bright purple shoelaces and put them on.

Throw on the aqua blue backpack and slide a red hair clip into your hair to complete the look.
Makeup & hair
Style your hair into a messy, chin-length black bob with choppy bangs, using a single red hair clip on the right side. Keep makeup minimal and youthful, perhaps adding a touch of pink blush and a playful, energetic expression.
