How do you make a costume of Mary Anne from the babysitters club?

Start by working you hair into 2 braids. Then put on a blouse, a pleated plaid skirt (tucking your blouse into your skirt), knee-high socks, and penny loafers or Maryjane's. Carry around a notebook, a cartridge pen (with blue ink) in a purse with a sophisticated or no pattern, and a novel, preferably A Wrinkle In Time. Enjoy, 'cause you're done!
