When you buy medical scrubs at
Lydia’s, you’re not just shopping- you’re investing in your career. An investment in a professional, put-together appearance will give you confidence and help you leave a positive impression on your boss, co-workers and most importantly, the people who put their trust in you each day, your patients.
I know that it’s important for each of you to achieve a professional look without emptying your wallet, and at Lydia’s you can do just that. To show you just how affordable our scrubs are I’ve taken three uniforms (seven pieces) and broken down the cost of this investment in your career. If you wore each of these looks 52 times per year (that’s once a week), the investment for each outfit would be less than $1 per wear; that’s not bad! P.S. The investment for just one piece is as low as $0.23 per wear-less than a quarter!
These are just a few examples of affordable looks from
Lydia’s. We have many (hundreds!) more choices at prices that won’t empty your wallet. And if you have any questions as you’re deciding on a look, don’t hesitate to
ask. I would love to answer your questions and help you invest in your career!
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 to come 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!

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.
To help you show your support,
we’ve stocked our online store with breast cancer awareness nursing scrubs and medical supplies from Baby Phat, Cherokee and Dickies. If you place your order now you’ll have your new medical scrubs by the beginning of October and you can wear them throughout the month (and of course there’s nothing wrong with wearing them year round).
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.

Cherokee scrubs are your favorite medical uniforms, so we took it upon ourselves to give you an amazing selection to choose from. We currently

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.

My congrats go out to Shelly, the latest winner of our monthly Editor @ Large contest. Shelly entered the contest on Facebook and left the following comment about what makes her job more interesting than reality t.v.
I work as a Housekeeper at a hospital. Reality shows seem to be about drama & as a hospital housekeeper I see PLENTY of this on a daily basis not only within my department but throughout the whole hospital. My job is more interesting than a show because I am there in the "thick" of the events & it is all unfolding before my eyes..LIVE! I don't have to watch what happens through a t.v. screen, I get the sights, sounds and let’s not forget the smells! What makes my job great is that I get to be there in the 1st person sense of it all & that includes the feelings/emotions. I can't begin to say how many insensitive, strange, hilarious and my favorite… kind people I have come in contact with through my job! My job IS a reality show & I am lucky enough to be in the cast!
Thanks for entering Shelly, I loved hearing about your job and I hope you enjoy your $50 gift certificate to Lydia’s.
For everyone else who would like to win new medical scrubs, I have good news. The latest monthly contest is posted
here and in addition to that we are also running a
photo contest for the next week. So enter both contests and you might be getting your own Lydia’s gift certificate very soon. Good luck!
Happy Friday everyone. It was a busy (and fun) week here at Lydia’s. We worked hard to bring you the latest fall products (
check out the 140 new items online), we had a cookout and we also celebrated the 10 and 15 year anniversaries of a few Lydia’s employees; overall it was a good week. I hope you had a good week as well and that you enjoy all of our new medical scrubs, lab coats and medical supplies.

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

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 shopping!

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.
