Put on the orange henley shirt and leave the top buttons undone.

Step into the brown overalls and fasten only the right shoulder strap, letting the left strap hang loose at your side.
- 3
Roll up the cuffs of the overalls slightly to expose your ankles.
- 4
Put on the messy brown spiky wig and adjust it to sit naturally on your forehead.
- 5
Apply the stick-on bushy brown eyebrows just above your natural brow line.
