My new uniform

When I started working as an X-ray tech and got to wear scrubs to work every day, I thought my daily 'uniform' couldn't get any better. "Nice work pajamas" - my dad would tell me when I'd get ready to go to work in the morning. He's correct, that's essentially what scrubs are...usually all-cotton, drawstring or elastic pants, soft...sometimes fun patterns. Easy to wash and easy to work in!

This summer with the advent of Lucy, my new work 'uniform' is my dream outfit. Black capri leggings and a few sleeveless shirts. The leggings in particular...they allow for maximum mobility with the best coverage. I can squat or sit on the floor with my baby, do a few morning wind sprints, a little yoga...! I know leggings are little bit controversial in the christian community  (I have a whole separate post's worth of feelings on that re: modesty and culture)... but honestly, they are just the most useful pair of pants in my current lifestyle.

I find myself wearing them almost every day....and wondering why I don't have a backup when this happens. (Thanks Lucy!)

Also, I like Katy Bowman's thoughts on 'compressive garment injury' (This justifies my lifetime hatred of jeans!)
