Your Question: I am absolutely obsessed with vintage “Secretary Blouses” aka “Ascot Blouses” aka “Pussy Blouses” I am looking for some fresh ideas to rocking them in my wordrobe……What say you? 🙂
My Answer: Bonni! First of all, to probably most people readin this, I knooooow, I can’t believe they’re called that either! But it’s true, blouses with a tie or ruffles are called secretary blouses, ascot blouses or pussy blouses because, I don’t know…they kind of look like vaginas! Pussy blouses are great little feline tops that can be styled a lot of different ways. By first glance, these types of blouses are very girly and vintage looking. For the first outfit, I honored that girly-ness by pairing one with a flared skirt and for the second look, I went edgy with my pussy blouse. Both of these pussy blouses I got at the Salvation Army – thrift stores are full of them!
I hope these looks inpsire you to get creative with your pussy…blouses ; ) xo
Pussy Blouse Outfit #1:
I paired a polka dot pussy blouse with a floral patterned skirt for a mixed print look. I added more funk to the outfit by pairing socks with my sandals – if you like this look see this post for more Socks and Sandals looks. Overall this look is girly but still unique… it feels very Carrie Bradshaw.. what do you think?
- Shirt: vintage (American Apparel has this similar one)

Pussy Blouse Outfit #2:
For this second look I wanted to juxtapose the girly-ness of the blouse with worn, cuffed jeans and a blazer. The hat gives an extra edge as does the side-swept, messy, low ponytail and my favorite Sorceress Earrings in oxidized silver.
