Styling tips for your stereotype: Girly

This is a 7-part series about styling tips for 7 different school stereotypes: goth, sporty, hippie, preppy, earthy, artsy and girly, updated every Tuesday and Saturday. I know there are more than 7 stereotypes, but I'm just covering the basics for now.

Pink is known as the only colour girly girls wear, but you can honestly use any colour. Pink, purple, red and blue look great but neutral colours are in style. Grey and white are your go-to shades. A pale pink top with grey skinnies is perfect for an average school day. Layer different shades of your colour for an all-around look.
Styles don't have to be frilly and sparkly, but a couple decorations here and there and around the edges never hurt. Try a low-necked shirt over a tank top or sports bra. Skinnies work well if the shirt has a flared bottom, and short shorts for tighter shirts. Long shirts or short tunics and dresses are good with black or white (depends on the shirt's colour) just-past-knee-length-leggings.
Use a simple necklace with a charm that goes just to your neckline, a couple of metallic bracelets and maybe one plain ring. Earrings should be drops. Use flats or sandals for your shoes, or in gym class, Converse or white sneakers.
Use a high ponytail or bun, or out, straightened if you're a brunette and curled for blondes. And as for makeup: there are some girls at my school who put on so much makeup I hardly know their faces. You DON'T have to do this. Simple dark eyeliner and lip gloss, with maybe eyeshadow.
