Q. What is it about this item that's kept you wearing it all this time?
A. The very oldest article of clothing I own I found in the back of a closet when we were cleaning out my Great Aunt's house as we got her ready to move into a nursing home. It was a jacket, long, black, with long sleaves- really dressy looking. It probably belonged to my great-great-aunt. I took it to a couple different vintage clothing stores and they all placed it from having come from some time in the late 1930's! There were two other jackets - a tan one and a sea foam green one, probably from about the same era - in the bunch, but the black one is my favorite. They're all in great condition. My great great aunt was a bit of a fashonista, and bought the newest trendy clothes each season when she was younger. These jackets must have survived in such great condition because she replaced them the next season with a newer fashion.
My mom managed to save a lot of her old clothes from the late 70's. Unfortunately, I weigh almost 30 lbs more than she did back then (I'm "curvey" and she was a total twig!), so most of the clothes don't fit me. I am fortunate enough to have two pairs of shoes that used to be hers, though. One is a Dr. Schoals wooden sandel, with a leather strap over the top and brass-looking tacks holding the strap into the wood. These shoes are by far some of the most comfortable ones I've ever put on! The othrs are a gold-sequence platform thong-style flip-flop. They scream "disco!" and are cute summer shoes when gold would go better with what I'm wearing then white.

can anyone recommend a good shoe for surgical nurses to wear?
Q. I will be on my feet all day for hours at a time.
A. I am a surgical nurse, and the best shoe I have ever put on my foot is called a Mizuno Nirvana 2. They are pricey, but a great buy if your looking for a solid shoe with a nice breeze passing thru it and support. I work w/ 2 other nurses who also wear the same shoe. They are just fantastic. You can purchase them off the internet or you can buy them in sports shoe stores. They are light and the mesh fabric in the shoe breathes your foot. They have an arch support which is great inside and the sole of the shoe is supportive. I even bought a pair for my brother in law who just had open heart surgery for his fitness stuff following surgery and he loves them.
One of our surgeons also wears Mizuno's when he is out rounding on the floor. His are not the Nirvana, but a cheaper brand of Mizuno shoe.
The crocks are the cheapo plastic shoes w/ no support and they end up not being all that comfortable. They are just trendy and have caught on sort of like those ignorant Jellies in the 1980's. Clogs offer no support what so ever. They are just trendy. Surgeons wear them because they are easy to put on and off and they stand in 1 spot for long periods of time. They do not walk around.
The podiatrist at our hospital also said Mizuno is an excellent shoe for people on their feet all the time.
Good luck and happy trails!!!
