My Apron

Thanks to Su-Lin at Tamarind and Thyme, I was reminded of the Show Us Your Apron event at Lucullian delights. I'm testing the deadline by blogging about it today, but I do love my apron so; it deserved a blog post at some point or other.

This is my first adult apron, bought on a whim last time I was home in New York. The pattern is an entirely bizarre animal print which was the first thing that made me think it was fab. Beyond that, the cut is an homage to the 1950's house wife, with the ruffled halter neck and cinched waist turning it more into a dress than a mere apron. As a friend observed, if she owned it it would be one of the sexiest dresses in her wardrobe. It makes me want to bake, and often, and to dab vanilla essence behind my ears when I'm in a frisky mood.

The effect isn't quite the same when Mr A&N wears it.
