carrie goes to prom

I saw “Carrie” the musical this weekend at the Lucille Lortel Theater. It starred Mollie Ranson as Carrie and Marin Mazzie as her demented mother. The music was great, the lighting design fantastic, and what can I say about the story? Girl tries to fit in, fails dramatically, and everyone dies horribly. It’s too late to help Carrie, but she can still help us.

Here are some of my favorite Carrie-inspired looks:

#1 The cardigan with everything
I love cardigans; they are demure and speak of your status as an outcast and possibly your crippling social anxiety. Cardigans go great with everything and Carrie thought so too. My mom used to tell me that wearing a cardigan made me look like a hobo. Check these out, and let me know what you think.

Okay, so this is not right. Fair enough, mom.





#2 The doused gown
Why get doused in pigs blood, have a violent psychotic episode, and murder a room full of people, when you could just look that way? Here are some of my favorites.
