Tips
- If dressing up as a trio, make sure your colors are distinct (bright pink, royal blue, and kelly green) so the group theme is instantly recognizable.
- Wear comfortable sneakers, as this is a highly active, dance-friendly costume.
- Use a black eyeliner pencil to draw a small, cute triangle on the tip of your nose for a subtle chipmunk detail.
