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....
Designers must be running out of things to be "inspired" by... especially since these look more than just inspired- they look like exact copies of actual scrub tops, just "styled" with regular clothes.
There actually are non-healthcare women out there who think it's cool to wear scrub tops as regular clothes.
Yeah, sometimes I think fashion designers just come up with the stupidest looking outfits to see who will wear it just because it has Prada or whatever on it.

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.
Yeah I think it's a law of nature-- and if you wear shorts and no socks to work like the model it's like an open invitation for someone to come up and throw up in your shoes!
I love this quote from the article:
Shapes are cut boxily on the body and rendered in classic scrub green. Evolving to encompass optimistic sportswear rather than a harbinger of ill-health,
Huh? My scrub top just sort of lays there looking bored. They actually paid somebody to write that.
