How many scrubs do you own?

I've always had to wear hospital scrubs or a certain color.

I have a job offer for a NICU position in a children's hospital and they have no dress code.

I'm so excited!!!

I'm becoming addicted to buying Disney and holiday scrub tops on eBay!

96 sets assorted and 10 royal blue 10 whites tops and pants not pictured. Funny thing is I haven't worn them in a few years now that I'm in primary care.

This would be one section of my dream walk-in closet...unfortunately my scrubs are in two dressers two tires and three trash bags that I nervously look in each week to make sure I don't throw them out!

Thanks to this thread I just bought another pair of Danskos on eBay...

:roflmao:

I bought a pretty pair of handpainted Danskos on eBay a few years ago — they look like Starry Night by Van Gogh. ?

Thanks, this closet is in the Guest room. My husband bought all of these scrub tops and pants folded on each hanger. I had enough outfits that they would only be worn twice a year this would keep them looking new.

But if you think that is something you should see my walk-in-closet. With 2 levels of hangers racks on the wall surrounding the 3 sides to a 8' x 10' room with just my cloth, my husband has his own closet. My real problem is I have loaded the 8+8+8+8+5+5ft hanger racks, a total of 42 feet of hanger space. It's fully loaded with hundreds & hundred's of outfits. I have way to many cloth that I can longer hang another hanger let alone one with cloth on it.

Then there's the shoes, but that's another post..... Wonderful thing is, it's my husband who shops and buys everything for me.

And I live on a boat and have only the clothes that will fit into two boat bags. Oddly, I find that's more than enough clothing, and I'm planning to get rid of some . . . When it's cooler.

How big is a boat bag? I loved "owning" only what I could carry while deployed. I have to admit that I am occasionally freaked out by owning so much stuff now, I have actually downsized a bit since that experience.

I have two of the LL Bean "XL" boat bags or clothes -- so more clothes than I probably need. And five pairs of shoes on board right now. I need to get down to three or four pair. Just gave all my furniture to the young adult (formerly known as "the child") and broke a bunch of dishes and wine glasses when a power boat "waked" us and I dropped the dish pan. It occurs to me that if I wash the dishes more frequently, I wouldn't need as many place settings . . . So I probably won't replace the broken stuff. I'm not nearly as pared down as you were while deployed (although my clothes and shoes would all fit in your duffle without a problem) but I am sure pared down since we sold our three story house!

Y'all make me feel totally not guilty for buying another pair of Dansko Mary Janes last week in red. Lighter than the conventional clogs, and so comfy! (Also, my 4th pair :up:)

Guys I just bought another pair of Sanitas on eBay. I need to be stopped!

While we're on the subject - do you wear the same size in Dansko and Sanita? Or do you wear a size bigger in Sanita? I've heard both...
