Izzie from 'Grey's Anatomy'
Life as a medical resident isn't easy. There's always doctors bossing you around, the hours are awful and, to top it off, you're surrounded by sick people. And yet, every Thursday night while watching "Juicy Couture basic drawstring pants and long sleeve T-shirt, not to mention the way she warms her stethoscope make the monstrous student loans seem almost worthwhile. If she weren't so busy playing doctor she might actually have a shot at practicing medicine.
And while the girl may have some issues, there's no denying the fact that she looks great in even the most casual of outfits. Which is a good thing, because that's what she tends to wear after dealing with the sickies and interns all day at the hospital. Like most people, she's a jeans horse -- her closet is filled with everything from AG's Kiss jeans to James Cured by Seun Hitch low rise boot cut jeans to True Religion to Citizens of Humanity's Dunaway wide leg stretch jeans.
Of course, jeans are only as good as the butt that's in them, and luckily, Izzie's been blessed. Up top she goes with form-fitting basics that can be layered if need be. Frenchie wrap sweaters in acrylic and rayon over a Halogen long-sleeve scoop neck T-shirt looks terrific for those moments you need to feel proper and sexy at the same time. Especially on those nights when you can't remember if you gave the right medication to that elderly gentleman complaining of stomach cramps. She also likes Michael Stars long-sleeve supima crossover V -- in, what else, gray -- and James Perse stretch-necked Ts.
Other Izzie options include a beautiful oversized cashmere sweater with a large shawl collar from Vince. It's perfect with leggings. Another cashmere option is TSE's fitted ribbed crewneck in dark pink. Remember, it gets chilly in Seattle, so sweaters are a must.
So is quality footwear, and not surprisingly Izzie, being a doctor, knows a thing or two about the human foot. To that end she sometimes sports MBT boots, the first physiological footwear that has a positive effect on the whole body. Their curved sole requires active rolling during each step. Masai Barefoot Technology (MBT) creates a pleasant feeling of walking on a sandy beach or soft moss and activates a large number of stabilizing muscles when walking or standing.
But Izzie can also do glamour with the best of them. A name we don't mention much -- only because it doesn't seem to find its way to television -- is Nicole Miller. Dr. Stevens wore the designer's shirred satin column dress last season at Cristina and Burke's almost wedding. Featuring a sweetheart neckline and spaghetti straps, the chocolate masterpiece also has a knee-high slit in the back, perfect for dashing when the woman married to the love of your life comes looking for you.
