So, I'm changing jobs.
I'm leaving inpatient psych, to go to work in an outpatient psych clinic.
I've never worn scrubs as a nurse. In inpatient psychiatric settings, mental health workers traditionally wear "street clothes." Which for me is usually jeans & and a top.
At my new job, the RN's wear street clothes, but we are to look a little more "professional."
Probably no more jeans.
I hate business clothes.
I always feel like I'm wearing a costume.
But on the bright side, I'm going to be on the phone 90% of the time: no more bodily fluids, or take downs. I can actually wear nicer things.
I've tried and tried to wear button down shirts, and there are some beautiful ones out there that I always admire on others (Steven Alan, anyone? Liberty? ) but they are just not for me. Nor khakis, nor slacks.
So I'm trying to find items that are comfortable- dresses and skirts are what I'm left with (and I think I can sneak in some skinny cords and black jeans).
Cardigans, of course, are always a year- round essential for me...and can make a knit shirt look a little dressier.
The last photo is of a cuff bracelet by jewelry designer Pamela Love.
It's not work related.
I'm just obsessed (but if I had it, I'd probably try to wear it to my new job).
I have until the beginning of October to purchase some new work clothes...suggestions?
(...and with that: Happy Weekend!)
