That is cute. I love he jeans tucked into galoshes. Such a kid thing.

Known as wellie (for wellington) boots where I come from. I agree with y'all that the boots totally make that costume.
I say swan off now, Vortex.
I use the round-to-evens rule in all cases because that way I only have to remember one rule, rather than deciding which one to use in each case. But that's just me.
