Aprons for Women with Sass and Style

I don't cook beautiful meals all too often because it's just me I'm cooking for -- and there's hardly a need to impress myself! When I'm expecting one or more guests, however, I like to get really fancy. Paper plates are traded out for modernist dishware, plastic utensils get replaced by freshly-buffed silverware, the island is cleared of mail and transforms into a prep station, frozen foods bow out to fresh ingredients and I even slip on one of those fetching vintage-style aprons for women. It's a whole production!

I used to cook in less than glamorous attire for fear of getting my nicer clothes messy. Wanting to look a bit more presentable to guests, I went shopping to find an attractive apron. But do attractive aprons even exist? Apparently, yes! In fact, in my research since my original purchase (I committed to one from Anthropologie), I've found many sweet and sassy aprons for women! Many have cute patterns and some are even designed to look like flirty, vintage dresses. With a stylish apron, you can look great greeting guests as you finish cooking the meal, and then guarantee that you'll look great once you remove the apron to join everyone outside of the kitchen. Take a look at some of the most adorable aprons for women that are available online. Every one of these are under $40! See a favorite? Mine have a blue heart beside them. Share yours!
