Last week while making some ricotta-stuffed shells and homemade tomato sauce I was stirring the sauce and it splattered on my cute, semi-new H&M shirt. This was not the first time that something like that has happened. The more I have been cooking (which I hope not to slow down), the more crap has been getting on my cute clothes (unless I am cooking in my sweats, which certainly happens as well). Therefore, I feel as though it is time to bite the bullet and get a damn apron.

In an effort to look a bit more like Betty Draper and a little less like Betty Crocker, I have been searching for a few cute, somewhat vintage inspired beauties. Now, just take a peek at these picks and imagine a martini in hand and some indie music, old school rock or NPR, depending on my mood, and tell me which is the most flattering coverup.

Crate and Barrel Doris Apron

Anthropologie Half Apron

I’m leaning toward the first one, but what are your thoughts?
