My mum has worn a apron while in the kitchen for as long as i can remember....I just bought myself a Jesse Steele Apron, also couldn't resist getting one for my mum and for my DD. If you google for an australian website called cupcake courier, they stock some of them.
I am aiming to wear mine whenever I am in the kitchen as I am kind of clumsy with food going everywhere at times as well lol
