I'm am 100% about dressing up for Halloween, however, I can't really get with paying more than $20 for something you're going to throw out on November 1st. Let's face it, no one has the space or patience to store a fairy costume 365 days of the year.
In an effort to take a "greener" approach to dress up, here are a few ideas for "un-costumes". These ideas are easy to execute, fun & recognizable, and you have a fighting chance of actually recycling the "costume" the the big day. All you need are few key embellishments.

Black corset from Fredrick's that I can wear both in the bedroom and on the dance floor. Some fishnets and some boy shorts (need I say more) and voila.
The only thing I'll have to stash away is the mask =)
