For when that BBQ apron just won't cut it.

For when that BBQ apron just won't cut it.
You're having a holiday party. You're dressed up. You're serving food  and drinks. An apron would be nice to protect your perfect cocktail dress, but who wants to drag out the old marinara-stained "Kiss the Cook" monstrosity?

Well if it were me, I'd prefer covering it with something like this Rollings of Cinnamon full apron from IceMilk. Not only will it protect your clothes from those delectable hors d'oeuvres you've whipped up from scratch (right?) but it will make you look like you have it so together that even the tiniest details in your life are full of style. I mean look at it. It's gorgeous.

Now, there are two things you can do at this point. You can decide that while it is very pretty (I won't let you argue that), $85 is too much to pay for an apron, and anyway, it's too nice for the kind of shindigs that occur at your house. Or you can decide that Nigella Lawson has nothing on you, and begin to envision all the parties you're going to throw over the next few years while looking smashing. Your choice.  ~Carrie
