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!
We kicked off Halloween on Friday here at Lydia's and there were some great costumes and decorations; I love the Scooby Doo gang!
If you have your own Halloween photos (whether you're dressed up or wearing you're fave halloween print scrubs) feel free to send them in and I'll post them on the blog.
Everyday I get to interact with Lydia’s customers on
Facebook and it’s such a fun part of my job. I love answering your questions, spreading the latest Lydia’s news, creating contests and most of all hearing your comments and feedback on our service and products.
Last week I asked you to post your photos in the fan photos section of our page and I was so excited by the response. We received some great pics from our fans, who were all wearing their Lydia’s medical uniforms. I want to see even more photos of all our customers wearing their Lydia’s scrubs, so if you haven’t submitted one yet,
stop by our Facebook page and post yours. And, one more thing:
the next two customers to submit their fan photos will each receive $10 gift certificates to Lydia’s, better hurry!
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!

fun and affordable prints from Cherokee Authentic.
Our
Lydia’s Direct mini-catalog is online now at LydiasUniforms.com, so I’m here to spread the news. The catalog is filled with fun ideas on how to coordinate different colors, prints and styles for a group and it’s the perfect place to start if your team is searching for a new look, or an update to its current look. One of the ideas that’s included in the catalog is putting together these three Cherokee scrub tops. I love how they’re different, but coordinate so perfectly; they would definitely unify the look of a team.
So check out our
new mini-catalog and let me know what you think! If it inspires you to come up with some of your own group looks, feel free to share your ideas
here.
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!
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.
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.
Grey’s Anatomy is back tomorrow with its season six premiere and as a faithful fan I know that I’ll be watching (after last season’s finale, how could I not?). Are there any other fans out there? What do you think will happen with George, Izzie and the rest of the crew in tomorrow night’s episode?
In addition to an all new season, there are also
brand new Grey’s Anatomy uniforms online at Lydia’s (that’s right, one more thing to get excited about). The medical uniforms are perfect if you love the show, but I would recommend them even if you don’t watch it; they’re so soft and have such a great fit that you can’t go wrong.
So what do you think? Will you be watching season six and checking out the new
Barco Grey’s Anatomy Scrubs? If you do either, share your thoughts
here!

I can't wait to see what your top pick is!
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!

My congrats go out to Shawna, last month’s winner of our Editor @ Large contest. Shawna is a medical assistant in Ohio and she wears scrub uniforms on a daily
basis. Dickies scrubs have always been her favorite, “they are very comfortable, long-lasting, and I don't ever have to iron them--I just spray them with some wrinkle releaser and I am good to go!! (lol)” she said. Shawna entered our contest on the blog and here’s her winning comment:
I am a Medical Assistant and I think that my biggest "pet peeve" would have to be dealing with (or fighting with) insurance companies. If a physician is ordering tests or medication for a patient the insurance company should not be allowed to dictate whether they think that the treatment or prescribed medication is medically necessary. If the physician gives a patient samples of medication that is IMPROVING their condition, but is not on the insurance formulary, it will not be covered until two FORMULARY medications have been tried and failed. Since when do the insurance companies know what is better for the patient than the physician?
Thanks for your entry Shawna and congratulations again. Have fun spending your $50 gift certificate to
Lydia’s!
And to those of you who didn’t win, don’t forget to take part in this month’s
Editor @ Large contest, which is in session now!

We’ve always had an awesome selection of men’s scrubs at Lydia’s Uniforms, but as of this week it’s now even easier for our male customers to find exactly what they’re looking for. A new page is up on our web site devoted just to men. Stop by and view the entire collection of men's medical uniforms or use it to see what your favorite brand, like Dickies or Cherokee, has to offer. If you’re searching for a new men’s lab coat or shoes this is the place to look for those as well. And the best part is that you don’t have to worry about searching through pages of women’s uniforms to find what you’re looking for. So go ahead, go
check it out! I hope this makes shopping simple for all the guys out there!
So what do you think about our new
men's scrub page?

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
