The Data Port

Mix-and-Match Scrubs

A short fashion and comfort note from the ol’ Data Port.

Scrubs…the uniform of nurses and docs…turn out to be a comfortable hot weather alternative to shorts and a t-shirt. They’re washable, loose fitting, very light weight, and cheap.

I would not wear pajamas out in public (assuming of course that I had pajamas) but I’m getting pretty ruthless where my scrubs are concerned. They seem okay for an early morning ride to Starbucks. It was 109 yesterday and I spent six hours re-rigging my sidecar outfit. Scrubs kept me cool.

So, okay, how far can we go?

1) This is Tucson…wear anything you want.

2) Wear  ’em anywhere.

3) If you’re not a doc or  nurse mix and match tops and bottoms.

4) Okay so long as you don’t carry a dummy stethoscope.
