For the other, and more recognizable look, start by wearing a white button down with white jeans. Over this layer a pale pink button down, which you can cut the sleeves of to make it a vest, leaving it partly unbuttoned to show the white shirt underneath. Over that, wear a light gray denim jacket and tie a black and white scarf around your neck, tucked in partly to the white shirt. For both of these looks, the makeup and hair is a prominent part to recreate. For makeup, use a pale foundation all over the face.

Wear a light pink or nude lip that is over lined and finally for the hair, wear a blonde wig which you can cut to thin if needed and style to look messy.
