"There's no place like home." -- Wizard of Oz

This skirt is one of my most cherished items.  I stalked ebay for over 7 years and one day, it finally came up for auction.  It’s Moschino from their Wizard of Oz collection from many, many seasons ago.  Can you see the references?  The gray represents the “Tin Man” and the dog, of course, is “Toto”.

I chased after this thing like a dog after a pork chop when it first hit the stores, but that was during the dot com craze and it sold out before even hitting sales floors.  Those days were so crazy — waiting lists that *really* were from demand, rather than the marketing ploy they have become.  Anyway, I promised myself that I would never get into a bidding war for an ebay item, but for this, I *had* to!

After a thorough dry cleaning, I wear “Toto” with a sweater (underneath) from Target, a cropped sweater cardigan from Viktor and Rolf, a belt from I don’t remember who but it was a cheap one, and shoes from Moschino Cheap and Chic.  I feel that the shoes are so “Dorothy” and fit well with the Wizard of Oz vibe.  Oh, I almost forgot, I topped it with an orange coat from Andrew Gn to leave the house — could this be a reference to the “Cowardly Lion”, hmmm?  Either way, if you’re a regular reader of my blog, then you know that I’m absolutely crazy for red and orange at the moment.
