Ghosts of Halloween Past

I had planned to wear this costume in 2011.  I was so excited.  I figured it out back in August, shortly after I saw the movie.  I bought each part separately, carefully planned it out, studied pictures of it on the web.  But then...it snowed on the Saturday before Halloween, the night I had 2 parties to go to.  We didn't go to any.  I was so bummed.  But I wore it this year with pride. 

I'm the Black Swan in case you couldn't figure it out.

 

CORSET TOP:  Charlotte Russe for $26.99, the most expensive piece of the costume.  I was  appalled that this was sold as a "top" at this store.  www.charlotterusse.com
