Come on now. They’re surgeons. They should be getting no sleep. Yet, even at their most frazzled, they still look way better than we do on a good day. Especially those scrubs, which was discussed in this post. And then there’s Addison with her up-to-there high heels. So not practical. I’m already too tired now to put the extra effort into the walking-without-falling-over required to wear heels. I doubt I will be any less tired when it comes time for residency. Or even afterwards. At least not unless I have a cushy private practice where I only work four hours a day three days a week. Which will be in how many years, if I’m lucky?

Dickies. Hip Flip. Scrubs for tall skinny nurse-girls who want to show off their belly buttons. Or, back in reality, scrubs for shorter girls tired of wearing maternity gowns. I can't vouch for the pants, as Dickies petite pants are just fine for me.
