PFM Obsession: Vintage Inspired Bow Tie Blouses

Silk Alexander McQueen Pussy-Bow Shirt - versatile black

Vintage Yves Saint Laurent Blouse - great vintage print and a great find

Nishe Pussy-Bow Blouse love this color!

Morning Mist Bow Shirt - ooo sleeveless!

i am totally excited by the resurgence of the latest trend of bow tie blouses.  a few years ago, i scored one of these blouses at a thrift store (my fave one that closed, sniff ) from the $2 rack! it was a mustard color with black stripes.  i loved wearing it cause of the retro-chic vibe.  sadly, i had to let it go as it started to literally fall apart at the seams.  you can imagine the instant obsession to own a newer version!  now you can get one in a great print or in one of this season's bright colors.  the hardest part is finding them, especially since it seems to be relatively new off the runway (i think they first made their appearance in SS '11).  maybe you can help me figure out what they are called; i've google searched "bow front blouse", "bow blouse", "bow tie blouse".  i've had the most luck with the last keywords.  while searching, i've seen the vintage versions referred to as "secretary bow blouse" and some of the new ones are called "pussy-bow blouse" (not sure why lol).  whatever you call them, i know that this is definitely one item that i would like to add to my wardrobe soon.
