When you cook and clean, do you wear and apron? Do you like aprons?

Yeah alot of aprons are very plain and only intended for practical use. But i like pretty things that have style and I would rather wear and fancy pretty apron then a plain white one like someone would wear for work somewhere.

Oh they sound so cute! I really need to get a sewing machine so I can make myself a few aprons in a decent amount of time, hand sewing everything I do is taking me forever to get anything done

I dont have a single plain one I dont like white as it gets dirty very easy. Most of mine are with the things I like fish, teddy bears that sort of things.

I buy all of my clothes on sale or second hand but I still HATE it when I ruin something with grease or bleach.

I know exactly how you feel. I could show you a ruined piece of clothing for every time i have forgotten to change or put on an apron before useing bleach. I think the best wy to shop for clothes is second hand, becuase that way you can get good brands (in my case brand I can't even buy in local stores) for super cheap. I have a hoodie I bought at the second hand store for I think $4.75 and it's Juicy Coutour brand and worth $94 if bought new.

This is a true story.... my husband and I were trying our best to save money and would any way that we could so we rented a run down looking house that had just three rooms, kitchen, living room and bedroom with a bathroom attached. It was so tiny but it saved money and was cheaper than the apartment we were renting. I wanted a washer so we eventually found a guy who refubishes them and so we bought one from him really cheap. The only place we could put it was outside off the small porch on pallets and had to cover it with a tarp. One day I was washing white clothes and I had a really pretty poka dotted periwinkle colored dress on and when I was pouring the bleach in the measuring cup a gust of wind came up and blew the bleach all over my pretty dress. Oh talking about getting upset!! Whew! But nothing I could do but accept it because it was ruined and nothing was going to change that. It was a hard lesson learned very quickly that to wear only old ragged out clothes when cleaning so if I were to get a stain on them it wouldn't matter because my clothes are old and ragged. I don't throw out ALL of my ragged out old clothes but save a few for cleaning days so I won't ruin my good clothes. As for your clothes being "on sale" or "second hand" there's nothing wrong with that. I buy my clothes at Walmart or Goodwill where ever is cheap. I don't buy expensive clothing for I don't see the need to. Some people do for they're materialistic or have more money than they know what to do with but I'm one who doesn't and because of that, hubby and I have had the money to buy a lot of other nice things or they're nice to us but may not be to others but to us they're nice. So don't down the idea of buying cheap for it's a smart way to go.

Yeah, I often don;t think of my apron until it is too late. I need to start remembering about them before i start cleaning or cooking.

Yeah my grandmother wears those too. I don;t really see the point in them either, It's either liek you said, basically a hand towel attached to your waist, or it's just a style thing with no practical purpose. I like full aprons, I don't like the half ones.

I don't wear my aprons nearly enough. And every time I forget I mess up another piece of clothing.

It's nice to have them around even if you don't use them all the time so that you can wear nice clothes around the house if you feel like it without ruining them.

Thanks. I have a couple that I got at the local dollar store that aren't so bad, they are made of a printed shinty material, and I added some lace to fancy them up, but they aren't the best fit or very comfortable.

Hey maybe we can. That would be cool. I have often thought of making a website with all the stuff I like on it in an attempt to bring it all back into popular culture. Or at least form a group of people that all like the same stuff.

I need to wear my aprons more, because I keep ruining my clothes.

Thanks! I want to get a sewing maching so I can start making some at home and try selling them at the flea market along with the jewellery that I make.
