I
love a secretary blouse, also called a tie-neck blouse. I’ve shared my
collection with you before (see that post HERE) and it’s pretty extensive. All
of my blouses are vintage thrifting finds, but these tops are also being sold
new in stores this season—this indicates that this style is a classic with
staying power.
This
style of blouse intimidated me for years
and I avoided trying them on. They seemed old-fashioned, and what in the hell
was I supposed to do with those tie-thingies? I took the plunge readers, and so
can you!
My
experience has shown me that you can pretty much wear these shirts any number
of ways. I leave the ties untied, knotted or in a bow—you really can’t miss.
The inspiration for this outfit was equestrianism. To capture the grace and
class of the equestrian, I decided to tie the ends into a bow. (See other ways
to style this type of blouse HERE and HERE.) To complete the look, I added a
slim leg pant (Surprise: These are capris!) which I tucked into boots.
Thriftfully Yours,
B
This is such a fun blog! I met you with Jimmie at the Historic Bethlehem Auction. I hope we get to meet with one another again.

Maybe you can go through my closet with me and help me rearrange my wardrobe to come up with new combinations. We'll go goodwill shopping among my stuff. I actually enjoy shopping at Goodwill and Bethlehem Township has a good one.
