Share-in-style: White and Shoe Shine

Sometimes necessity has to be the mother of invention!

I suddenly realised that Mis Papelicos link up Share-in-style:White was about to close.

I have no one to shoot me ...what a sentence! And to take photos myself with a tripod is a long drawn out process of copying from machine to machine, so I invented Legless Lizzie!


to show you some French bloomers I bought from Etsy.
They are from France in the '20s, and all hand sewn and embroidered on the finest linen


as they are made to be not seen, they aren't the best fit in the world, 
so maybe it's better that Lizzie models them today :-)
Look at the tiny stitches on the French seam! Gasp!


I like to pair it with a thoroughly modern print and fabric.
Leopard print with sparkles!


the bracelet is mother of pearl on coconut


and the shoes, are by Rivers.
I found them at an Op shop for $6. 
They are a size big, so I wear 2 socks, but they are very comfy.
Now I can also link up to Sheila's ShoeShine !


Come on over and see the blinding white beauties, and the shoe hoarders!
And now, 52 pickmeup cartoon on Spy Girl.

'Til next time, keep creating!

  4. Lizzie looks cute in her outfit but hasn't quite your good looks. I love the outfit and those fine stitches and bloomers would have a wonderful story. The maker would be thrilled and perhaps amazed to see how far the work had come. M xxxx

  6. I like those old laundry, and I have some parts ... and the bracelet is - wow!
    Funny idea with the drawn self portrait :-)
    Shoes really looks comfy and nice they are too (comfy shoes are rare nice - sigh!)

    I recently found a large mirror and I hold the camera by myself to shoot mirror images (bang bang!)
