This 1970s pussy-bow blouse is the perfect retro layering piece in the sweetest shade of soft pink!

When you think of the pussy-bow blouse, you probably think about the 1980s. And while it’s true that this blouse dominated that decade, particularly the early 80s, this style goes back to the 1930s!

The eyebrow-raising term pussy-bow blouse may seem risqué, but its origins are rather staid. It comes from a sewing pattern that referred to the versatile bow on the blouse as “an intriguingly feminine pussy cat bow tied high under your chin.”

This particular 1970s pussy-bow blouse adds a delicate blush pink to any outfit. Rock it at the office for your best Dolly Parton 9 to 5 look or just throw on some jeans for an instant casual-cute look! Toss on a pair of hoops and maybe a couple of gold necklaces, and you’ve got a quick, easy outfit.
