I don't imagine that I could pull of wig-making myself, and I'm fairly certain they're pretty expensive, so I usually try for a character whose hair is pretty close to my own. And other features, when possible. I do make my own costumes (when possible), though, and that includes making up my own patterns ^^a I can see fairly well without my glasses, so I'm not planning to resort to contacts unless I need to change my eye color in some extreme way.
Sounds like a relatively easy costume to collect. Working with things you have = a very good way to go about things. Second-hand stores are good for cheap clothing, though department stores are probably better for finding something closer to exactly what you want.
...Yeah, that was pretty much only "Blah blah, here is my 'expertise' in costuming, blah blah." Er. Pardon me. Hope you can go as something, though!
