Black Swan - a DIY costume for under $20

I've never been a DIY'er, I'd rather pay the extra $$ to have it done for me. This year for Halloween I decided, and my budget decided, that I should scale it down and create my own costume. I knew, since I saw the movie, that I wanted to be Natalie Portman's character in Black Swan.

While my costume wasn't exact, it was pretty damn close....and pretty damn cheap. I paid $14.99 at a costume store for the black tutu and $2.99 for the little tiara. Other than that I paired black tights, some lululemon shorts underneath the tutu, a cami from Express and some ballet flats.

The makeup was a lot more detailed up close but this is what I ended up with!
