Hey Afaconados!
This week's vintage obsession is focused on the Secretary Blouse. Secretary Blouses, also called Pussy Bow Blouses and Ascot Blouses, were highly popular in the 70s and 80s. Although it was more common to see Secretary Blouses in Polyester fabrics, they were also quite popular in Silk amongst the more "priviledged" ladies. The great thing about these fancy blouses is that they work well with everything: Blazers, Jeans, Trousers and Skirts (both short and long) AND they come complete with their own accessory…the necktie! How fabulous is that?!!
Check out some of my Etsy.com picks:
Vintage Secretary Blouse – $18
Secretary Blouse, Bow-tie Collar, Black & Red – $20
Vintage 1980s Teal Green Secretary Blouse – $38
Light Blue Vintage Secretary Blouse Pussy Bow Women’s Medium – $18
1980s Houndstooth Secretary Blouse – $19

Secretary Blouses are still pretty popular even now and can be found just about everywhere. But why get a new one when you can buy one with some "character"? 🙂
Until next time!
