I love aprons, but what do you wear them for? I cook way too much to be taking it on and off, and if i used it instead of towels to wipe my hands, I’d have to wash it all the time. but they’re so cute!! what do i do amber? what do i do?!?

I do wipe my hands on them and Nora’s hands…and face. And I sometimes get a little crazy with flour or get too close to the counter when I’m ashing dishes, so an apron keeps my clothes clean. I think the key is to have more than one. I do laundry pretty frequently, so I have three, which means I wear it once or twice before washing (depending on how dirty)…I totally want more; I’m obsessed with vintage style aprons!
