Behind The Scenes At Mandi’s Photo Shoot!

Mandi Uniform Advantage Ultimate Fan

Uniform Advantage set out to find its Ultimate Fan, that special medical professional or student who could prove their dedication to UA and would earn in return a photo shoot and feature in the Fall UA catalog, an all-expenses paid 4-night trip to Ft. Lauderdale for two, and a $200 UA shopping spree.

…Who did we find, you ask?

We found, Mandi, a CNA/GNA at a Geriatric Nursing & Rehab Center in Cumberland, MD.  Mandi was a standout winner as the UA Ultimate Fan.  Not only did she prove herself through her spirited Facebook contributions on the UA page as well as her own, but she also rallied her friends and co-workers around the contest.  She coordinated her co-workers wearing their matching UA Easter scrubs on the same day along with matching bunny ears (we hear they even hopped for patients!)

Mandi flew down to Ft. Lauderdale with her fiancé Derrick, the trip was extra special for the both of them because it was their first time on a plane and the farthest South they’ve ever been!

Enjoy this “behind the scenes” look at her day here at Uniform Advantage: (Uniform Advantage Ultimate Fan), and shop her looks!  As you can see after watching the video, she rocked the photo shoot, giving us tons of great shots to choose from.  The team at UA had so much fun getting to know her and wish her the best of luck in her profession as well as her personal life!

…And They’re Off!

UA vs. The Runway: Fall 2012

Not quite ready to ditch that bathing suit and sunscreen?  We aren’t either…but whether we like it or not, fall is creeping a little closer.  We’re here to help ease the pain with a guide to the fashion trends that are just around the corner, and simple ways you can stay fashionable in your medical uniforms come autumn.

Orange

Summer’s hottest color, tangerine isn’t going anywhere this fall.  Orange hues are here to stay!  These runway looks pair the hue with browns, olives, and blacks to make it transition perfectly into the next season.  Opt for a muted orange or go bright, whichever fits your personality, and you’re sure to look both festive and runway ready in your scrubs!

Tartan Plaid

Plaid is a classic fall staple, reminiscent of both a crisp day outdoors and a warm night by the fire.  Put your own feminine twist on this tomboy look with these scrub tops tailored perfectly for a feminine silhouette. The Cherokee top actually combines two of fall’s hottest trends (plaid AND animal print!)

Missoni Inspired:  Missoni inspired and Chevron prints are everywhere now (including his much hyped line for Target!) Its premise is the timeless zig zag pattern taken to a whole new level when combined with bold color accents and flamed stitching.  Don’t let the fact that you have to wear medical scrubs on a daily basis keep you from rocking this runway look!

Fierce Felines

There’s one trend that seems to pop up season after season, whether it’s on clothing, footwear, or accessories…and that trend is animal prints!  This fall is no exception, with furry, texturized pieces inspired by leopards and cheetahs coming prowling down the catwalk! Check out these work friendly scrub versions to make your day at the hospital or doctor’s office a little fiercer.

Snag Sophie’s Summer Style

Sophie's Picks Uniform Advantage

Just looking at this top puts me in a good mood!  Its lightweight material and whimsical print are both perfect for Summer.   This cheery pink scrub top also offers an elastic back, which is a great alternative to a tie, if a tie back isn’t for you.  It also has side seams and binding for a tailored fit, and both create an elongated, slimming shape (and who doesn’t want that!?)

E2107MDM Ecko Red Scrubs Midnight Dream Print Top

To me, this top is the epitome of tranquility!  And, let’s be honest.. what more do we wish for while we’re at work than to be somewhere else on a tropical ocean getaway!?  If we can’t do that..this “Blue Escape” scrub top is the next best thing.  It’s also very figure-friendly with a cute keyhole neck tie and a back tie to be a customizable perfect fit for everyone.
