I’ve been on a Judy Garland kick lately, so of course that means rewatching The Wizard of Oz!
Late last year my husband and I went to Los Angeles and visited the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures. I was completely in awe of the pieces they had on display. When I think of Old Hollywood memorabilia, my mind automatically goes to items from the 1939 classic. In case you’re wondering…yes, I did see a pair of ruby slippers and yes, they still sparkle! If you’re fascinated by Old Hollywood and know your MGM history, then you know it’s amazing that some of these items are still around today. Reading the book The Ruby Slippers of Oz: Thirty Years Later by Rhys Thomas put that in perspective for me even more. If you haven’t read the book, I definitely recommend it!
As someone who’s constantly inspired by Old Hollywood, this coat gave me Emerald City vibes the moment I saw it. Naturally I imagined a color palette fit for the city (or a wizard) and voila! Stay tuned because I’m currently styling another Oz inspired look for spring!
