Wearing a Pussy Bow Blouse

What is the Pussy bow blouse?

I was intrigued by the name too!  An unusual blouse name referencing female genitalia.

So, of course I researched it for us!
The blouse itself became popular in the late 70’s, early 80’s when women began taking their place in the work force. 
This is what the fashion industry came up with as the female business alternative to the man’s:  Suit &Tie.

Some refer to it as the “Secretary blouse” but I find that rather SEX-ist. 
I much prefer the Girlie-tie.

I couldn't help myself from jumping on the Retro band wagon and purchased myself my very own Pussy bow  blouse at Zara last week. And look forward to wearing it this coming weekend.
For a much needed night out with the girls!

Whether you choose a Silky Crepe version or a Cotton Casual, this top is sure to liven up your look from the usual basic button down blouses. Easily worn over leggings, denims or skirts, 
this Pussy bow blouse can easily take you from a day at the office, to a night out.
