I ' ve spent hours constructing a garment that is the wrong color or just looks funny somewhere or is too tight or pulls up awkwardly . I ' ve had my share of garments that were worn once and then put in the back of the closet until they were donated to charity . But since I ' ve been working in the Emergency Room and my wardrobe consists of scrub tops that I embroider with my name , a turtleneck or waffle - weave long sleeve shirt , and a pair of slacks I just have n't had a reason or place to wear pretty clothes . Non - work clothing consists of blue jeans with either a T - shirt or sweatshirt depending upon the weather .
