Hey, danahv:

How did you get the pins for recruiting, qualifying, trivit and dots? I haven't heard of these... sounds like I need to get some?

thanks for your response in advance....Carol
 
I love wearing mine and especially the pockets. Wear it at fairs and stuff too.

My favorite piece of logo wear (the only one that fits right) has a bleach stain. The apron covers it nicely!

The Trivet pin was the director Christmas gift from Doris. The qualifying pin is one that some directors give to new cons. when they hit their first 1250 in sales. The others we get at conference for hitting milestones.

I wear the Chef's Coat I got from Merrill. The ladies at the shows always love it, saying it makes me look all professional, official, and sexy. Probably not good from a recruiting standpoint, though, b/c it makes people think that you need to be all fancy.

Well, I was thinking more in terms of "not good from a recruiting standpoint b/c it makes people think that you need to be all sexy" ;)

I always wear an apron. Most of the time the black/pink floral HWC. Unless it doesn't match my clothes- then the denim. YES- I know that sounds anial, I can be ocd. I like the pockets. I usually have a small dish towel hanging from the string. I only put it on once I start the recipe and take it off right after. I think everyone likes it, I almost always get compliments on the HWC one. I don't put pins on it because I wash it after each show.
