Sunday Obsession: Aprons

I am bad to get on “a kick,” y’all. I go on these little stints of becoming obsessed with a certain item and buying several of them. It’s been cloth headbands, it’s been spoon necklaces, it’s been chunky bead necklaces (all of which I still wear, mind you). But the obsession I’d like to talk about today is my apron collection.

Do I cook? No. Do I bake frequently anymore? No. However, I have an apron collection that would put the likes of June Cleaver to shame. I love an apron.

What’s funny about this is…a majority of my aprons I won’t actually wear. Why, you ask? They’re just too pretty, and I don’t want to get them dirty. Therefore, making an apron’s usefulness useless.

A few years back, Down Home Gilchrist was carrying aprons made from men’s button-up shirts. I hadn’t thought much of it until I saw Carrie wearing a baby blue one, paired with a pearl necklace at Christmas on Main Street. Let me just say, it was just the epitome of “Southern.” I loved it. Well 4 or 5 later, and I have my share of men’s shirt aprons.

The real shame of the matter is, there are no real dinner parties anymore. No real occasion that warrants sporting a pretty apron. So, until real dinner parties come back into fashion, I suppose my pretty aprons will sit unused in a drawer. I will look at them from time to time and think “Oh, what pretty aprons I have.”

Meanwhile, I did not have time to take out all of my aprons to snap a photo...so pinterest and countryliving ones will have to do :)  But these are adorable.  I may have to get a few more...lol.
