5- Style the hair. Hair can really be any style, but cutesy, childish hair is best. Maybe with a bow.
6- Use leggings, socks or tights: Opt for some bright colored legging, sock cute ankle socks or some simple colored tights. Maybe add small neutral color like black or white. Remember legwarmers? Those are an option too!
