1 Step: Layer. Layering is one of the most important elements in decora. Layering is everything. Don't be afraid to layer socks over tights or 3-4 different shirts together.
2 Step: Don't look like a walking brand name. Decora is a childlike fashion and yes, Hello Kitty and Pokemon are adored, but try to add your own personal 'thing' to the clothes. Better yet, make your own.
3 Step: Don't just suddenly decide you want to start wearing nothing but decora. Ease into it gradually.
4 Step: Don't go out wearing decora if you don't have enough accessories or layers to suit your taste or else it'll look messy and incomplete.
5 Step: Hair plays a huge role in decora. The most popular hairstyle is simple, cute pigtails. Accessorize with a few headbands and a truckload of hair clips. Bows are very popular in the decora world.
6 Step: Don't hesitate to decorate yourself with plastic toys. This adds dimension to your decora outfit.
7 Step: Cute body jewels and glitter are also good. Stick a few stars or a smiley face sticker under your eyes.
8 Step: Don't wear a lot of makeup. This style is all about childlike playfulness and you can hardly expect to get that look with a tonne of makeup on.
9 Step: Socks make up a huge part of the outfit. Feel free to embellish the tops with frills, ribbons, chains, charms... basically, whatever tickles your fancy.
10 Step: In every decora girl's wardrobe lie a few pairs of bright and cute sneakers and/or flats.
11 Step: Pink is everything. It makes up most of a decora girl's chosen colour for the outfit. That doesn't mean you can't wear black, but if you do, then wear a lot of pink to compensate.
