Conspicuous Lesiure

i am enamored with the sandals in the paintings by John William Godward...

Expectations

i am not sure if the women with their flowing gowns and waist wraps are supposed to be in the modern times (turn of the century)...
the seamstress
  but they totally exemplify  The Theory of the Leisure Class (1899)...

sweet nothings


i really mostly like the sandals...

The Toilers of the Sea

this painting by Albert Pinkham Ryder would be more likely to show up in my house (not the original), but i will wear those sandals any time...after i make some!
