Puttin’ on the Ritz

“If you're blue and you don't know where to go to

Why don't you go where fashion sits?

Puttin' on the ritz.”

 

Opening lyrics from “Puttin’ on the Ritz” - written by Irving Berlin, 1930.

 

The theme for “Looking Close on Friday” for the 14th of January is “shoes with laces”. These black and white 1920s style dress shoes were made for me some twenty years or more ago, for a roaring 20s fancy dress party, by the now defunct company Griffin of Melbourne, who specialised in 1920s and 1930s inspired couture clothing and shoes. They seemed to be the perfect fit for the theme! I do hope that you like my choice, and that this photograph makes you smile!
