Now, I'm not a political person but I know she did some stuff. She was conservative and her cold, ruthless ways pissed people off... fair enough, but in death it's always good to look at the positives (okay, this may be a stretch for some) but lets all agree now.... the woman knew how to rock a pussy bow blouse.
The ultimate power dresser, Thatcher was the first to marry a practical and overwhelming sensible corporate wardrobe with the tiniest touch of femininity. Whether it be pearls, a handbag or a pussy bow embellishment on a blouse, she created a look that was all her own. It's interesting to think about the limitations, yet potential power that can come from what you wear in a corporate environment... participially for women.
If you know me, you know I'm a fan on a vintage blouse (in all it's synthetic glory), so hats off to the Iron Lady and her somewhat unconventional iron style-icon status....
Just popped the last one in because it's the most amazing image I have ever seen of her.... what are the chances she had a fun side???
