I would consider not wearing the long hair/ dangly earrings in peds 
. Long hair should be up in any procedure-heavy type of rotation such as surgery, ob gyn, ED, critical care because it's easier to tuck into the cap. Sleeveless shirts under your white coat are fine. No one's going to know if you never take off your white coat. I think an earth-toned kind of red lipstick would be fine but maybe not a bright vamp red or magenta, if you know what I mean. I tend to just wear lip gloss if I wear any makeup at all.
The biggest thing is dress comfortably for what you're doing. And if you're wearing dresses and skirts, bear in mind that some attendings will get mad if they're even a bit short or ride up or something. It's hard to quantify what's too short because you will see some residents and even attendings wear stuff that you might get yelled at for wearing. When in doubt, be boring. Sexism is still very real in the medical world.

As long as you are dressed conservatively (ie nothing showing that shouldn't show), you will be fine. Sleveless shirts are usually okay, as long as they are not revealing (keep in mind you will be wearing the white coat so nobody will know it is sleveless anyway). Hair can be either up or down, whatever you prefer. Although during procedures, etc, I put my hair up. Short dangly earrings are just fine. As far as makeup goes, I have not really seen anyone wearing darker or bright colored lipstick. I think sticking with neutral colors at least until you get a feel of the culture of the hospital is best. Re: skirts, knee length is fine, just make sure that when you sit down, you are not revealing too much of your legs.

I actually tell the women who are my students that I prefer dress slacks and shirts for women; it does eliminate gender differences. That being said, essentially anything a woman wears is acceptable on the wards. I just use the stipulation that no skin below the sternal notch and skirts/dresses come to about the knee. You're a doctor, not a hooch, not going out on saturday night, and certainly not there to stimulate anybody (except with a DRE).
Most outfits still look good, feel like you're staying classy, and are professional, even if that "sternal notch" is a bit strict. Its not a make it or break it, and women still have worn some borderline outfits; but if the whole picture is professional, then meh, so what. As long as the expectation that "OOH TITTIES!" is not acceptable is there, it usually works out.
I have sent girls (please note the change of age-gender) home for wearing
1. A miniskirt that was at mid thigh when standing up... two separate times
2. A V-neck that showed more skin than it hid
Women can get away with alot. As a general recommendation... skirts and dresses should be longer than your white coat (easy for students, harder for residents) and your cleavage should be put away. Other than that, whatever you want is acceptable.

Something I've picked up is that if your favorite skirt is slightly shorter than the ideal classic pencil, you can sometimes make up for the decreased length with colored pantyhose (gray, brown, maroon, etc). Flats also make a shorter skirt look more conservative.

Yeah, uh, kind of.
