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.
Different types who wear a day coat,
Pants with stripes and cutaway coat, perfect fits.
Puttin' on the Ritz."
Lyrics from the song "Puttin' on the Ritz" (1929) written by Irving Berlin.
The theme for “Smile on Saturday” for the 8th of February is "two-gether" where in order to meet it, I need to submit a picture of two similar animals, plants or objects, close to each other, excluding people. Being a collector of vintage and antique costume, although these do not belong to me but to a fellow vintage fashion collector, I fell in love with these beautiful wedding pumps when I saw them! I asked my friend if I could take a photo of them. He was more than happy for me to do so, so I put them on a table in a spot where they could bask in the sun. I took this photograph last year, but I had yet to upload it to Flickr, so it is lovely to have an excuse to share it with you today as my choice for the theme. These beautiful white kid leather Spanish heeled slippers with their pearl spangled satin straps are wedding pumps made in Paris and worn by the bride in April of 1929. I hope you like my choice for this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile!
