UPPER WEST SIDE—After the inauguration, Off Broadway Boutique realized that they had a two-piece outfit in their consignment section that strongly resembled the Isabel Toledo ensemble worn by Michelle Obama. The twist: It's from around 1948. If you look good in yellow brocade and wear a size 4-6, head over to eBay, where the bidding starts at $120.90. Oh, and by the way, the outfit's similarity to Michelle's Toledo has been verified by none other than noted fashion expert and Upper West Side Congressman Jerrold Nadler, the only person alive who has seen both in person.
