Costume help - which scarf?

[estrellita]

I am going to be a gypsy because that's the stuff I have, lol. Which scarf should I wear on my head? The coins on the skirt are silver as is most of my jewelery. The left scarf is kind of light gold/cream leopard print. Middle is black with kind of an off white floral print. Right is a grey scarf. Which looks best?

I vote middle

Grey could be good. The middle one too because your top is black.

I like the middle one.  What are you doing for Halloween?

This is for work but I might wear the same thing Sat too, haha. Maybe. I'm suddenly thinking I want to go easy and be a "hippie" tomorrow and wear a tie dye shirt. Hmm. Either way I'll probably wear this on Sat, haha. We are going to our friend's house and going ToTing with her almost 3 year old and 5 month old (really the oldest is ToTing, and any other kids that show up). Then we're having game night once we get back.

I was leaning towards the middle one but then I wasn't sure if it was too much black? I do have a longer necklace that is blue and silver, hoop earrings, and some bangles for accessories. I was thinking of wrapping one of the other scarves around my skirt under the coin one but none really worked. I like how the blue stands out against the black!

Middle one!

Gold to match the tassles.

Question. Is a gypsy one of those things people shouldn't dress up as because it's insensitive? I don't know if it equates to a geisha or something. Not trying to be a killjoy, just honestly curious.

Sounds like a fun Halloween!  I don't think the middle one is too much black, there is enough white in the pattern to balance it out.

Maybe if your costume is fortune teller, you avoid any potential sensitivity issues without having to change up the costume?

[estrellita]

amaranth the "tassels" are silver

marina007 that's a good idea I suppose. I guess I didn't realize it was offensive. I figured that was a specific thing vs just wearing the outfit and saying it's what I would wear to Ren Fest, lol.

Could I get away with saying I'm a pirate? How can I make it more pirate-y?

Well I don't have an eye patch but I was already doing the scarf and boots so that works! Perfect!
