98 days until pinning! Meep!

There is, of course, drama around pinning. Hopefully that's well on its way to being resolved. I've reached and passed the point where I just want someone to tell me when it is so my family can rearrange their lives, which they will have to do no matter when the ceremony is, in order to attend.

The more fun side is figuring out what to wear. I hadn't realized there is a dress code of "some type of all-white nursing attire," though now that they've said it, it makes sense. I've found one dress I kind of like, I'm just not sure I want to wear a dress. I sort of want to cut it off at the waist and find some nice white trousers to go with it. One of the nurses at the hospital where I used to work as a PCT wore tops like that with white trousers, so I know it's got to be possible to find them somewhere. Just not as easy as scrubs and dresses. If anyone has any tips where to find that sort of thing, pretty please, send them my way?

I seriously do not envy the men. Looks even harder to find non-scrub all-white men's nursing attire than women's.

Heh, scrolling through the tags, it occurred to me that "costuming" almost fits, except that's the other problem: search engines turn up at least as many "naughty nurse" costuming sites as they do scrub sites.

That is a nice looking dress!

Thanks! Still not sure I want to wear a dress in December, but that might be what I end up going with.

Oh, that's right! I forgot you live in the frozen north. :) Here, you would just need an umbrella for December.

OK, that is a seriously cute retro sort of dress. I can see why you like it.

I'm not sure which item you were wondering where to look for (a top like that, or the white trousers), but Talbots usually has very nice dress white trousers every winter. And by Christmas, they should be on sale, too; Talbots always reduces and reduces the price online 'til it finally sells, so you can often get something well-made there for a decent price. Anyway, my tip.

Both, really, a top like that and nice trousers. Thank you for the tip! Talbots is one of those stores I've heard of but never checked out, and clearly, I shall have to rectify that.

Their stuff is always very well made, and wears like iron, over time. The prices are stunningly high (for my budget) but they always lower and lower the price online, 'til it sells. I once got a silk skirt there for 95% off!

Anyway, good luck with it.

Good to know. Thanks!
