Obsessed with Scrubs

Published

OK...I am most definitely a very girly glam girl. I love having very neat and form fitting scrubs. Which can get tedious seeing that I'm 5'13" :yes: (just go with it)! Its an obsession that developed after I bought some great scrubs and was no longer pulling and tugging at the back of pants at work (after all I'm not a plummer!). Any who, I notice that I will find myself staring at other people's scrubs (when the scrubs are cute of course) trying to pin the designer. I sometimes even wear scrubs on my off days. Am I just alone and weird in this? Or anyone else out there slowly developing an obsession. If so, what are your go to scrubs or coats. Mine thus far, are Greys Anatomy, Med Couture, and Heartsoul Heartbreaker line.

I wear my old, "out of service" scrub tops around the house and as pajama tops. My Butter Soft scrubs gained a second life as pj's.

Yup! I use the old ones around the house too, I repainted my art room and did a few projects around the house, they were perfect!

Out of service scrubs are great for paining clothes and yard chores clothes. I associate scrubs with work, but not with leisure, so I would never wear them at home unless there is work to do.

So by sizing up you make your yoga scrub pants baggy? I see, well to each its own

No, not baggy, looser and more comfortable for me.

I am so envious of people who get to wear scrubs of all colors with little accessories (i.e. Jaanuu's zip up scrubs, and their beautiful floral prints). I have to wear navy blue and cannot have any extra bells or whistles. I too feel better at work when I look good (strictly for myself, and no one else). I have found that Grey's Anatomy scrubs are the perfect mix of form fitting, professional, and crazy comfortable. I remember when I first started nursing school, you only had two options- the most basic set of Cherokee scrubs, and the most basic set of Grey's Anatomy scrubs. I tried on the Grey's Anatomy ones first. They were remarkably soft and I thought they fit fine... Then I tried on the Cherokee scrubs and was scrambling to fling them off me. They were so boxy and itchy. I didn't realize how flattering the Grey's Anatomy scrubs were until I tried on the Cherokee scrubs. I've been a GA girl ever since! I haven't tried on the Cherokee Infinity scrubs people are talking about on here though!

As for wearing them on my day off... SOMETIMES when I need to run errands and I don't have any comfy, presentable clothes clean I will throw on a pair of scrubs :roflmao:.

If I ever find myself in a position where I get to where whatever scrubs I want, I would probably always stick to solid colors or what I believe is a more professional, tasteful print (like I stated above, Jaanuu has a BEAUTIFUL floral print that I am envious of --> The Peplum Top in Garden Party - Medical Scrubs by Jaanuu). I think no differently of a nurse no matter what he or she may be wearing print-wise, but some people do find prints unprofessional. :down:

A bunch of my fellow students spent a lot of money on scrubs but with my money situation I had to choose between nice scrubs and shoes that wouldn't give me shin splints/back pain, so I went for the shoes and wear the cheapest scrubs I can get my hands on. I'll need to buy a whole new set of scrubs anyway once I graduate and become a real nurse (the hospital I work at color-codes everyone). I'm sure once I have a job that pays more than $11/hr I'll be all over the nicer brands but until then, my boxy, baggy scrubs work just fine! And they get softer after a wash or two ;)

Jannuu. Most stylish scrubs ever. They are so nice, people didn't believe they were scrubs when I wore them to work. Pricey, but worth it to me.

So far I don't see Iguana Med as a suggestion, by far these were my favorite scrubs as far as fit and design until my hospital went to color coding everyone a few years ago. Otherwise I like Dickies soft stretch (forgot what the style is actually called...something like work-flex maybe?).

Hilarious!! and exactly they way I feel towards scrubs that fit that way. And also, I saw Jaanuu that floral print is beautiful but I am a solid color kind of nurse all the way.

Iguana Med-Nice! Thanks so much for the input. They kind of remind me of Med couture. As for Dickies, I've always adored their scrubs but the sizing is too small (for me anyway) I usually wear a Medium top with them I need a Large and their tall scrub pants don't dare fit me, the hem always falls short

AH HA a girl after my own heart! I want to look good for me but.... am still trying to find the scrubs that meet my needs. I NEED all those little pockets on Dickies nex gen but hate the low ride waist... and I am so sick of royal blue i could puke!
