Number 1, if you want to look cute, don't buy it at a costume store. Create your own costume. First, shop your closet. Then, if there is nothing good in there, go the nearest Goodwill or other second-hand store.
Number 2, once you have your costume, don't buy shoes. See if you have any shoes that might go with the costume. If you don't, ask a friend or a sibling if you can borrow a pair of their shoes for the day.
Number 3, if you want some accessories, try looking at all the accessories you have and see if there is anything that will go with your outfit. Here are some good accessories for Halloween: creepy hats, chunky bracelets, and jingly necklaces. If you are getting dressed for a Christmas or New Year's costume party, maybe you would want a sparkly green and red mask or possibly some hair accessories like fancy, jingly headbands would be good.
So, try these tips next time you have to be a costume girl.
