Yes, I do a little bit of baking. I'll even cook at times if I need to. While I'm not claiming to be a domestic goddess by any means, I can at least look the part while preparing for upcoming holiday parties. Recently I made a fantastic purchase in hopes of it inspiring me to become an overnight chef success. Anthropologie's 3-D Toile Full Apron is a pretty sweet deal! It's not your grandmother's "kitchenwear" either. The apron I bought has gorgeous ruffles and ruching; I found myself not wanting to take it off when I was done baking. I wore it this past Thanksgiving, while I whipped up my pumpkin gingerbread trifle. My dessert was a hit, but that didn't mean I came out of the kitchen unharmed. Thank god the apron was machine washable! Holiday cookie time is upon us, and I plan on wearing it to protect my clothing. The apron is so cute; I swear it makes me want to find another excuse to wear it. Maybe I'll attempt a roast... with the number of a good take-out places within my reach! Head over to WhatsWear for more festive finds for a fashionable holiday season!
