$450 scrub top... yeah, I know, for real.

[A&OxNone]

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....

Who in the H-E-Double-Hockey-Sticks needs an UGLY $450 scrub top?!?!

Sorry. Just a little moment of confusion, wanted to share. :D

Geeezzz, guys & gals ... :smackingf

I'm no fashionista, but these ARE NOT SCRUBS. They are a "trendhunter" pick for upcoming fashion -- couture inspired by scrubs. No one thinks you're going to buy this to wear to a job where actual scrubs are appropriate.

Okay. But its still RIDICULOUS and is worthy of making fun of.

I mean... look at them!!!!

I don't think anybody here takes them seriously at all :)

That went from ugly to stupid :)

I burst out laughing when I clicked on that link! Wow.... They're not just expensive scrubs, they're UGLY expensive scrubs. Like, I can find tops that look nicer (and cover your abdomen) at Walmart for $15.

*EDIT to add*

Thank you for this thread! After a stressful day, the uncontrollable, recurrent laughter these images have caused me has been a great way to decompress. =) Now back to the books!

You are welcome! I have been getting a good laugh out of it, as well. :)

I like Prada, and I regularly buy designer clothes and accessories. I wouldn't buy those.

That "dusty rose" one should be renamed 'County jail orange". Wonder where the inspiration for that one came from.

Nurse Jackie? ...or some rich imposter who is making a fashion statement out of our cherished scrubs.

Thanks to everyone with a sense of humor for giving me a much needed belly laugh. My scrubs now know their place (white), and if they give me any trouble, I will punish them with a super strength dose of peroxide and chlorox.

Where's the "underwear with tails"? Now this I gotta see!

I think for me the funny thing about this, as someone who does wear scrubs, is that anyone would pay good money to actually wear them in a non-medical setting and think that they are making a fashion statement. I guess there's a sucker born every minute.
