So, I got one of my nursing magazines in the mail, and I'm flipping through, and see them talking about these new Prada scrub tops that are $450!

So, after reading a little, I decide to go online and see what these are all about - if these scrub tops are laced with gold, or come with a gardener or a maid, or what kind of perk makes them worth that much money, and THIS is what I find....

Seems like whoever 'must have' these is in the wrong profession. lol

Doubt nurses are buying these.

Oh, yeah, I see in the article that it says the new Prada line is inspired by sailors and doctors. Awesome, since their jobs are so similar. :uhoh3:

I just missed the fashion gene, I guess. I just dont understand!

I worked w/nurses who would surf for expensive designer purses (more like tampon holders, they were so small) and thought nothing of spending over 150 bucks on them.... :uhoh3:

Of course the day you wear it will be the day a GIANT code brown happens...but when you spend that much for a top it's pretty much guaranteed to happen

IDK, if you are going to spend that much on one piece of garment, then why not just wear a cute name brand polo or suit lol
