(re-post)
About to attach pocket purse around waist yesterday, my attention was caught by the apron hanging by the door.
I've been using it as a garden apron but I suspect it was meant for a carpenter or such. It's in a sturdy material, navy/white ticking pattern, nice roomy pockets above and below, a shiny stainless steel clip, adjustable neck, satisfyingly long ties.
It soonest was on me; cell phone, wallet, glasses, odds and ends transferred from purse to 'apron', keys secured onto clip and tucked into a narrow pocket.
The navy/white complemented my denim attire and has that subtle appeal of Irish grandpa shirts. Off to the Deli and not the garden.
I then wore it downtown on errands. It is comfortable and all the purse contents are easily accessible.
The response was interesting: it does look as if I am engaged in some sort of 'business', I suppose.
In one store a woman approached me and asked if I worked there. I said I did not, that I was shopping as well.
She looked a very expressive question at my apron purse and saw only 'apron'. I said, "It's a purse".
She opened her mouth to say something but then didn't and walked away.
I probably could have told her where to find what she was looking for if I had thought to ask her what it was. 😀
