Black Tie



The Neck Sash is Back!

Women have adorned themselves with fabric sashes tied in bows around their neck collars for decades.  I remember my Mamma had a light pink and ivory striped blouse with a big ivory bow tied around the neck.  It was her favorite and looking back at pictures it was mine too!  She looked so classy in that blouse paired with a black skirt and pearl studs.

The Secretary Blouse:  Women's top made of loose fabric with a neck tie, typical worn for office wear. 

Truth: I own 5 secretary blouses. Everything's better with a bow!

You can create your own secretary look by tying a sash around any button down or blouse.  It doesn't have to have a collar.  I like the idea of black as it's so versatile and will pair with a range of looks from flannel plaid to solid silks.  

For this look I kept it clean and sharp with classic black & white.  

I've had this black satin sash since undergrad! See, it is good to hold on to things! It's been a workhorse for so many looks.
