So, who else is a huge fan of mock-wrap scrub tops with a tie behind?

Yeah, me too. It was the ONLY type of scrub top I would buy. I have a co-worker who buys the same tops and then rips the ties off - too constricting, etc. This was always a point of debate between us - I loved my ties, she hated 'em. :) One day, I looked in the mirror and saw that my favorite tie-behind top made my 125# frame look like I had an elephant's behind.

"What the heck" I thought. RIIIIIIIIIIIP. RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP.

Ah, comfy. They look like pajamas again, but at least people no longer mistake my behind for Nebraska. I set to ripping the ties out of all of my wrap tops. *shrug* Much better that way.

My co-worker noticed immediately and noted "You're a real nurse now" :lol2:. We've found a true-life analogy to cutting the apron strings.

I just "cut my apron strings" yesterday with a pair of suture scissors!!!!!! I hate them. And I look plently "voluptous" without accenting my svelte:uhoh3: figure.
