So, I get to work today and there was something urgent going down ("Dr. Lyn, we have someone who is actively crumping!!!"), so I didn't have time to grab my white coat. I arrived onto the ward with my jacket and all! And low and behold, my new patient today was wearing almost the same thing I was. Down to the bomber jacket, except he earned his through football and I earned mine through crusing the sale racks at Forever21! He also had a black and white striped shirt (no skirt though), and he wore black pants. He thought my outfit was hilarious. Also, he was fine, they just put the monitor on in correctly.
Regardless, here's my WiW - this is another dress that I had bought before SYC that I wasn't sure what to do with. I think the initial intention was to use the top and pair it with a solid skirt, but I think it's okay as a dress, even though with the pleats and the stripes, you can't see all the stripes - that's okay, right?
This bomber is so fun! Thanks for the recommendation, Angie!
WiW: Wearing (almost) the same thing as a patient. Who is a man.

I love this dress on you Dr. Lyn! Jailhouse stripes or cabana stripes are very on trend this season, as is the bomber. Love, love love!

PS I thought crumping was a kind of break dance routine, no?

Love this on you! The stripes are divine, no need to hide the skirt at all! The bomber jacket really amps it up a notch, but my classical girly side likes it better without :)

Funny story and not the sort of outfit I was expecting when I read your title. Cute dress! I really like it with the bomber jacket.

This is so ridiculously cute on you I can't stand it! I had to log on just to say so. The bomber is perfect.

Ha. Love the dress and jacket, you look cool. You are probably waaaay to young to have seen the movie "Twins" but it featured Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzeneggar (did I misspell, sorry) in a hilarious mixup of twins separated at birth. Your episode made me think of that movie and I laughed.

You are hilarious - - as well as super-trendy and pretty in this!

Hehe. What a great story. It probably helped relax him knowing that his doctor has a similar sense of style.

You are really rocking the bomber + dress combo.

More love for the bomber with a dress. It's working to my eye. What a great story.

I love the shape of this dress and the square neckline on you! It looks like you have a "varsity" jacket on (but not the patient's!) I also love the bubble necklace and the tension between lines and circles. This is so cute. (*sigh* now I want one!)

Ooh, that is a unique striped dress! It has that Tim Burton quality that I like in a stripe. Not too nautical, not too sporty. And I know you looked way better than your patient!

I'm with DV, the square neckline and interesting sleeves are a part of the dress' charm. Love the dress, and the story!

Too funny! (I also imagined the patient was dancing... not sure why that would require a doctor, though! )

"Crumping" is a "House of God" term apparently, for someone about to die, or seriously deteriorate! :) -
Oh my word!!! This is SO cute!!!

I love it! I love even more that the pleats hide some of the stripes - makes for a nice "surprise" element to the skirt!

Gorgeous, yummy stripes, this reminds me of the Ascot scene in My Fair Lady where everybody is wearing black and white.
