Put on the cropped navy sailor top and the matching pleated mini skirt.

Pull on the black thigh-high stockings, adjusting them so they sit securely mid-thigh.
- 3
Step into the black knee-high boots and zip them up over the stockings.

Slip the faux-leather shoulder holster over your shoulders like a backpack.

Makeup & hair
