Ditch the socks and shoes. The socks look like part of a halloween costume/very childish. The sneakers are just awful in general, imo.
I don't have an issue with the sweater/shorts combo. I'd pair it with simple black keds, flats, or ankle boots.
We all have our own style though, so in the end you should wear what YOU like. I like where you're going with the look, just not a fan of the socks/shoes.
Also, look on pinterest if you want more inspiration.
Then you better get thicker skin, because most people will think - and even say - the same thing if you wear that outfit in public.
It is nowhere near the "sporty, pretty, and fashionable" that you claim to want.
Celebrities like Gaga or Gwen Stefani might be able to pull a costumey outfit like that off, but they're not regular people doing regular people things. It's guaranteed that if the OP wears something like that in public, they're going to get looks (and whispers of the "sweetie, what is all this?" variety) If that's what they're going for, great, but actual sporty, pretty, and fashionable women don't wear what's being described.
Also, none of those reds match, so all together it would look awful.
Well, why do some--if not many--women wear sweaters with clothes which expose their legs (such as Taylor Swift, above)?
Any suggestions on fixing this?
So, should I get rid of both the red lipstick and the dangly earrings?
That outfit certainly isn't my style, though!
What about replacing the sneakers with black ankle boots, though?
You can't copy celebrities or tween girls. Real women don't do that. They would look ridiculous, just as we would if we actually wore the things you see in fashion magazines, including the clothing.
What concerns me most about your intent to dress as a woman, is that you seem to want to be not a real woman, but some fantasy version of a woman that doesn't exist. Look around any real place and see how many women are wearing bright red lipstick. I guarantee it will be almost none, unless you live in LA and hang out on the red carpet. See how many above the age of 20 can actually carry off a pair of red short shorts. Again, few to none. Likewise, you aren't going to see a lot of striped knee socks outside of elementary school. You can't claim to want to look like a woman if the idea of "woman" in your head doesn't match reality. I'd like to look like Taylor Swift, too, but that's probably at least as impossible for me as it is for you. Perhaps you have fallen for the fashion industry's version of women that has caused so many of us so much difficulty in life. At some point we accept that we can't, no matter how hard we try, look like that or wear those clothes and look good (or afford those clothes to begin with). You may need to come to the same acceptance that the rest of us have.
Sooo... you seem to have striped knee high fetish. You keep arguing FOR them.
Fashionable non-celebrity women do not wear those in public.
Junior high girls do though... so if that is what you want to look like, have at it!
And thicken up that skin!

Some women in the world have never fallen into the *trendy what would fashion say about it* trap.
Thank goodness my Mother is one of those women and she passed that on to me, we wear what we want, when we want, it is clean, classic, comfortable and practical for us without concern what anyone else *thinks* we should be wearing.
OP: As harsh as it may sound, even after surgery, hormones, or whatever else you are going to do to yourself artificially, you are not a woman and are not naturally built as a woman.
The clothing choices you make will more than likely be more difficult for you to look as natural as possible.
Perhaps do some research in regards to others who have the same mindset as you and see what they are wearing and how they put together their outfits.
