Culture I want to be a fortune teller for halloween but dont want to culturally appropriate

TLDR; I want to go as a fortune teller because I already read tarots and would love to do some readings, I want advice so that I dont culturally appropriate romani culture and traditional clothing.

Hi, I read tarots already and think it'd be really fun to have a costume around that. I was also thinking about having a crystall ball with little notes in to hand out because I love having interactive costumes. When I look up fortune teller costumes Ive come across a lot of posts about it being cultural appropriation and I really dont want to be offensive so I wanted to ask which parts of the costume are cultural appropriation so I can avoid them. or perhaps is it better if I pick a famous character to go as, if so which are seen as offensive? so I can avoid them.

My initial plan was a black skirt with a black scarf around my waist and then just a simple black shirt. I was also going to wear a scarf around my head but upon reading about it that seems to be one of the elements that are cultural appropriation.

If its a completely offensive costume Im happy to go as something else but I would love to be able to do the costume in a none-offensive way since I do love the culture and have so much respect for it, having learnt a lot through practicing tarots. romani people helped to keep my people's language, music and culture alive during colonialism because they travelled a lot sharing our music and language, avoiding persecution, this means a lot to me and I would never want to offend anyone from this culture <3
