Celebrating Black History Through Fashion - The Pussycat Bow Blouse
With pussycat bow blouses making a serious comeback (I mean, I had one on just yesterday), I was excited when I received this photo submission from local knit designer, Andrea of LadieLoops!
It is a photo of her mom circa 1979.
Even better than the photo is Andrea's words about her mom:
"Looking at it, you're not able tell. But at the time, my mom was a single mother of five children (ages: nine, eight, six, five, and two). Having five young children limited the places and things that my mom was able to do. So, hardly ever did she go many places. She was not able to tell me exactly where she was going here but, I'd hope that it was some where super fancy, as her pussycat bow blouse and blazer wasn't an everyday ensemble in our household.
I'm proud to say that my mom went on to college and earned three degrees - becoming a successful and inspirational woman."
Thanks, Andrea, for sharing this photo. And kudos to you AND your mom for being amazing women!
