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!
My congratulations to Joelle, the $50 gift certificate winner in September's Editor @ Large Contest. Joelle has been a nurse for three years and currently works at a Pediatric Emergency Room in Long Island. She says that Urbane scrubs are her favorite becaue they are, "cute, fashionable and comfortable."
For September's contest, I asked you to leave a comment about the strangest complaint/reason for visit that you've ever received from a patient. Here's Joelle's winning comment:
A mom comes into the ER frantic. "My child needs to see a doctor quickly!" As the triage nurse I ask, "What’s the problem?" The mom says "My daughter has a bump on her arm its really itchy and red, she won't stop scratching at it! I called the pediatrician and he said to come to the ER." I say to the little girl, "Let me take a look, sweetie." When she lifts up her sleeve there is a small mosquito bite on her arm! You can't make these things up!
You’ve told us time and again that Cherokee scrubs are your favorite medical uniforms, so we took it upon ourselves to give you an amazing selection to choose from. We currently offer 400 Cherokee products and that means (I hope) that we have just what you’re looking for. In our Cherokee Super Store you’ll find prints, solids, tops, bottoms, lab coats, stretch scrubs, boutique fashions, you name it!
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by all of these options, let me give you a few recommendations. If your main focus when buying new scrubs is fashion and comfort, try the Cherokee Body, Flexibles or Touch collections. If you like to stick to the basics then you’ll definitely want to go for the Cherokee Authentic line. And if you’re all about style then Studio B scrubs are for you. We also have Men’s medical scrubs and sports scrubs so don’t miss those either.
Well, that’s enough from me. Stop reading and go check out our Cherokee Super Store. And don’t forget that you can get free shipping on orders over $75 if you order soon!
I decided to join the medical field when my son was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor last year. I started out by researching and became interested in helping people with illnesses. I became a volunteer at our local hospital, enjoy helping people, and have been taking classes ever since. I am very excited about starting work and will be starting my clinicals shortly. The scrubs that you sell are a very good price and have lots of fashion to them!

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.
When new products come in we love to go through everything and pick out our favorites. It’s always hard to choose because there are so many different fashions, comfy materials and professional looking basics. For today’s post I had everyone on the web team narrow it down to one (or two) of their favorites so I could share our top picks with you. Here’s what we chose:
Nicole: I love the new Jockey series because of the comfort factor and the 6 fresh fall colors that they are available in.
Liza: The Cherokee Touch Flower Patch top is one of my favorites. This collection is so soft and I love how the floral print is really modern and different.
Leesa: My picks are the new Medgear basics. I love the eggplant/teal combo and these designer knockoff pieces are only $9.99 each.
Melissa: I like anything from the Cherokee Touch line. I wore the Contrast Neck Top in azalea/black for the photo shoot. It was so soft and extremely comfortable!
Amanda: I like the Landau Mock Wrap Top and Cargo Pocket Pant because of the silkscreen design on them. It adds a little something extra to the solid colors without having to be a full-blown print – plus the drawstring on the mock wrap is nice because it is functional, and can be used to make the top fit better.
Rachel: I like the new Exclusive prints by Dickies. I’m always excited when our merchandising team works to offer items that are only available at Lydia’s. These Dickies scrubs are beyond cute! The colors are modern, and so are the prints, and I think that they’ll really add a lot to a work wardrobe.
Lindsey: I’m really liking the new LA Rose prints like the Serendipity Contrast Tie Bottom Top. I love the retro, funky print and it does not look like a scrub top at all!
So now that we’ve shared our top picks for fall, tell us what you think! Do you love these looks as much as we do? If not, which scrubs are at the top of your list this season? Leave a comment here.
We wanted to give you a sneak peek at some new fall scrubs, so earlier this week we added the latest designer medical scrubs to www.LydiasUniforms.com. I love these new uniforms and it looks like you do too because they’ve immediately become popular on the site. Two of the pieces have been best sellers and with their unique styles I can tell why.
The Delia Tee has a layered look and features a funky zebra print. It comes in two great color combos. The one below is in steel/pink.
The Zoe Tee is a thermal knit that’s great for layering and the sleeves have thumb guards (really cute and functional!) which make it easy to slip into a coat, gloves or even another layer.
Besides being really youthful and stylish, both these tops are very comfy (I wouldn’t mind wearing them to work!). If you like these styles make sure to check out all the new medical uniforms by Koi. In addition to these tees I love the brightly colored print tops. Which new item is your fave? Leave a comment here.
Uniform designers are always finding new ways to add fashionable elements to basic scrubs, while still maintaining the signature look of a medical uniform. Some of my favorite medical scrubs are the basic tops that have subtle details which make them stand out. While checking out our newest products, I noticed a few great pieces that fell into this category. For example, this top by Cherokee ----> is a basic solid that comes in a classic Ceil Blue, but it also has a fun neckline which is highlighted by the contrasting navy trim. Another example is this crossover top by Baby Phat. ----> Although the look is simple overall, the scrub top has stylish tone on tone stitching and a feminine fit (thanks to the elastic on the back of the waist), which make it a bit different. Plus you can buy it in white and keep up the classic style or you can make a statement and get it in fuchsia! Both of these tops are dress code appropriate, but they’re still not your average scrubs. What do you think about these new basics with a twist?
My congrats go out to Stacey, a Neuroscience Nurse, who is the latest winner of our Editor @ Large contest. She’ll be receiving a $50 gift certificate to Lydia’s Uniforms that she can use to buy stylish new medical scrubs. Here is Stacey’s winning comment:
Nursing was simply a calling for me. At the age of twenty-four, I suffered a herniated disk while at work. I endured nine months of debilitating pain. At the time, I was a young wife and mother to a 2 1/2 year old beautiful daughter. This was to be the happiest time of my life. But the pain I experienced was so severe that I considered ending my life. Then, finally with the benefit of an excellent neurosurgeon my pain was relieved. The nurses that cared for me post-operatively renewed my faith that I could go on and accomplish anything that I set my mind to, which at the time included walking. Finally free from my pain, I decided to become a nurse. I understood the pain that my patients would experience. I am now a Neuroscience Nurse. I see patients with injuries so much worse than what I suffered. I am able to inspire them and give them hope for a life that is worth fighting for, by my example. Being a part of someone’s recovery is a gift that truly never stops.
If you didn’t win this month, stay tuned; next month’s Editor @ Large contest will begin later today.

Thanks for submitting your product reviews as part of our Print Top Giveaway. I received lots of great entries, but of course I could only choose one as our winner. The comment I chose was from Rebecca who reviewed a favorite medical uniform top by Cherokee. Here’s Rebecca’s review: My favorite print scrub top is "Bright Flight" by Cherokee Studio B. This top is made of a nice lightweight fabric and fits form fitting with the perfect amount of move room. I work in a nursing home where the temp is always ambient for the residents which means hot for us and this great top keeps me cool, not to mention stylish and feminine.
Like this top? You can get it right now during our Cherokee Super Sale for 20% off the reuglar price!
As our winner, Rebecca will receive a brand new scrub top (her choice) and she’ll have a stylish new addition to her medical uniforms. Congrats Rebecca!

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.
