Today marks the first day of a brand new series on the Lydia’s blog: Ask Liza. One day each week I’ll be answering all of your questions about medical uniforms and scrubs. Got a question about what’s in style? Here’s the place to ask it! Want to know which size will fit your specific body type best? I’ll give you my personal recommendations. Whatever your question might be, whether it’s about prices, sizing, styles, brands etc., I’ll do my very best to give you a helpful and informative answer. Submit your questions here.
I’m going to kick off the series with a fun question that recently came up. So here we go:
Q:I love having the most fashionable scrubs at my work place and I can’t wait for a new Lydia’s catalog tocome in the mail. What styles and trends will be coming out in your next catalog that I can look forward to?
A:Just last week I was thumbing through the racks of our newest products and there were a couple of looks that jumped out at me. Browsing through these medical scrubs it was clear that prints are going to be huge next season, especially for the fashion forward. I noticed scrubs that featured more than one print, which is a definite style statement. I also saw a very fun top that features a bold, can’t be missed image; it’s completely one of a kind and I love that! Seeing these nursing scrubs showed me that uniform designers are really pushing the envelope to provide health care workers with new up and coming styles.
In addition to the trend of prints there were some unique necklines that I think you’ll like. In my opinion different style necklines provide an easy way to mix up your normal look, while still keeping it basic.
And the third thing that caught my eye was a new collection of medical uniforms from a popular street-wear brand. I don’t want to ruin the surprise so you’ll have to wait and find out which brand I’m referring to.:)
If you have your own question, send me an email and I’ll feature your question in the next Ask Liza segment. I can’t wait to hear from you!
So many of you have told me how much you love Cherokee medical scrubs. I can see why: they’re well-known with a trusted name; they make scrubs that fit great and wash up well; plus they offer something for every medical professional, whether it’s basic solids, designer nursing scrubs or professional lab coats. What’s not to love??
Today I want to tell you about a few new collections that are now offered in Lydia’s Cherokee Superstore and I hope that you come to love these medical uniforms as much as you love favorites like Cherokee Authentic and Cherokee Flexibles. The new collections are: Cherokee Studio, Bamboo Planet and World Adventure scrubs. Each line is completely unique. The Studio Collection is filled with youthful styles and features lots of fun prints. Bamboo planet scrubs focus on sending an eco-friendly message. And World Adventure scrubs are all about using rich earth tones to create fashionable styles.
I hope that you’ll stop by our Cherokee Superstore and let me know what you think about these new uniforms. And next time you buy medical scrubs make sure to keep them in mind!
Happy Friday everyone! Enjoy your weekend and don's miss out on $3 shipping at Lydia's. Use this opportunity to stock up on spooky scrubs for Halloween or pink ribbon scrubs for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month-a month that is dedicated to promoting the fight against breast cancer and raising awareness around the globe. National Breast Cancer Awareness Month has been recognized since 1985 and has steadily grown since then. Each year I'm impressed with the efforts made by my fellow students, co-workers and friends to support this cause and I know that as we move into October I'll see my co-workers here at Lydia's making their own contributions to promote awareness.
In addition to wearing pink, is there anything that you’re doing in October to support National Breast Cancer Awareness Month? If so, leave a comment and tell me about it. Or if you have pictures of you and your co-workers wearing your pink scrubs or working to raise awareness send them in, I would love to share them on the blog.
If you’re looking for the best deal on medical clothing uniforms at Lydia’s I can point you in the right direction. We recently added a Cheap Scrubs section to our web site and it’s stocked full of affordable nursing scrubs, from Dickies, Medgear, Lydia’s and more, that are all under $10.99 (some are even under $5!). In my opinion this top is a total steal. --------------> It’s only 6.99 ($4.99 if you buy 5 or more), not to mention it has 5 star customer reviews. If you prefer something that’s not so basic, you can also find prints, bold colors and more styles on our Cheap Scrubs page.
So go ahead, stock up on scrubs that are affordable. And if you want to share your favorite deal with other Lydia's customers, you can leave a comment here.
When it comes to print scrubs there are so many choices! At Lydia’s we carry everything from tiger and zebra prints to cartoon tops with Dora the Explorer or Curious George. If I had to wear nursing scrubs to work I don’t know how I would ever decide.
Today I want to hear which print tops you choose for your wardrobe. I won’t make you select just one, instead tell me what style you like best and check out the results to see what styles your colleagues love to wear.
It's hard to believe that it's already August and school will be starting up again soon. Hopefully all of you who will be starting or continuing nursing school are excited to get back into the groove and are prepared for all the hard work!
Since we know that starting school can be difficult we wanted to help you out. We decided to have a huge Back to School Sale. We've marked down over 100 products and you can get 15% off all of them. There are popular nursing scrubs from Dickies, Cherokee and Lydia's and even some supplies that you might need this semester. To see what's on sale, click here and start stocking up for a new semester!
As we stocked our web site and catalog full of new products for fall, once again I couldn’t help but notice how many of the medical uniforms were influenced by everyday fashions. Take a look at these two styles below and how similar they are to their designer counterparts.
The first two are vibrant colored solids that both feature the empire waist and the scoop neckline. And I don’t know about the designer look, but I can tell you that the Jockey Scrub Top is incredibly soft!
The second pair includes two tunic style tops that feature can’t-miss prints in eye catching color combos. The tunic style is flattering on almost everyone, which explains why it’s coming back for everyday wear and making its appearance on designer nursing scrubs.
The latest e-zine is out and this issue has a lot to offer. We picked the best of the best from our fall medical uniforms and are offering you our recommendations for fashion-forward nursing scrubs, must-have basics and our best uniform buys for the budget minded. In addition to all that is my favorite part of the e-zine: a special shipping offer that you won’t want to miss. So if you didn’t get this issue in your inbox, make sure to check it out here. Feel like something is missing? Let me know what you would like to see in the next issue of Lydia’s E-zine.
Stock up on scrubs while the shipping is free! We're currently offering free shipping on all orders over $50. That means there's no reason not to buy the new lab coat, nursing scrubs or medical supplies that you need. This offer only lasts a few more days, so make sure to take advantage of it while you can.
Need some help deciding what to buy? I highly recommend checking out our newest products which include some fun basics and prints by Cherokee. I would also suggest shopping the Lydia's Pro-Series line which is currently on sale.
Happy Friday everyone. Shopping for new medical scrubs this weekend? Checkout our stylish Baby Phat nursing scrubs, they’re currently all marked down 15%.
Today I want to send my congrats to Beverly, a registered nurse with certification in psychiatric/mental health nursing. Beverly is the latest winner of our monthly contest and she won by making us laugh with this comment:
An elderly patient was admitted to a geropsychiatric unit. During her assessment, the nurse noted that she was allergic to nuts and indicated this on her allergy band. During visiting hours, her son approached the nurse angrily, "What do you mean labeling my mother 'Nuts'"?
For winning, Beverly has received a $50 gift certificate to Lydia’s Uniforms. She expressed that her dress code requires white and ceil blue nursing scrubs and I’m positive that she’ll be able to find exactly what she needs at Lydia’s.
Congrats again Beverly. And to all our readers, don’t forget to enter this month’s contest for your chance to win free designer medical scrubs.

A few months back I wrote a post about how easy it can be to buy medical scrubs for an office or group at Lydia’s Uniforms. Since then, we’ve been busy adding more features to make it even simpler! So let me tell you about what’s been happening and how it’s going to help your group buy medical uniforms.
We still have the all the things I told you about in my previous post: knowledgeable customer service reps, custom embroidery (with the set-up fee waived for orders over $495), group discounts and custom e-stores (think personalized login, scrubs that your company chooses and even products displayed in your colors with your logo). <-- Visit my last post on group orders for even more details about any of these things.
Now here’s what’s new:
We’ve decreased the minimum order size for group discounts and the discounts are available all day every day! Get your group to order just $200 worth of medical scrubs and you’ll receive $25 off. Have an order of $350? That means $50 off. And an order of $500 or more means you’ll get $75 off! I know it wouldn’t take much for a group of my friends to spend $200-$500 on work clothes and I bet that’s the case for you as well.
Lydia’s has also added a payroll deduction feature. After a quick set up, your company can make shopping easy for employees by deducting their medical uniform purchases right from their paychecks. Employees can buy scrubs without a hassle and the result is a staff that looks professional and put together. Everybody wins!
And as always we have tons of scrubs that are great for groups. Whether you’re looking for stylish uniforms, men’s nursing scrubs or just affordable uniforms that will fit your budget there’s something for everyone. Need a recommendation? Call us at 1.800.293.7721, email us,live chat or even leave a comment and we’ll be happy to help. Or if you want my personal recommendation, click here.
Now stop reading this, go get your group together and save some money on your scrub uniforms!

Happy Friday everyone! Today I want to announce that Julie Pare is the winner of last month’s Editor @ Large Contest. Julie, an LPN on a Pediatric floor, loves her Koi scrubs and here’s what she had to say about them:
“As a petite sized nurse, it has always been difficult to find scrubs that fit. I have tried many brands that are too long, too short. Or, if the length is right, they are too small or too big in the waist. That was before I found KOI scrubs by Kathy Peterson! These scrubs are perfect for me! Not only are they sized right, but they are stylish and functional, too! As a float pool nurse, I may be on the medical floor one day and in the emergency room the next, but I don't have to worry about whether my scrubs are going to keep up with me. There are roomy pockets, durable fabrics, and shapes that flatter. These scrubs hold up to a hard job—the colors don't fade and they are so easy to clean! No more paying for alterations here, KOI is the only brand I hang in my closet now! Thank you Kathy Peterson for being such a great designer and thank you Lydia's for carrying such a great brand!”
For her winning comment, Julie will receive a $50 gift certificate for new medical uniforms and she says she can’t wait to wear her new scrubs to work and show them off.
