Salvo Wednesday #5 - Atlantic City!!

When we visited Atlantic City last week, I made a point to visit their Salvo on Wednesday. I wasn't sure what to expect - amazing stuff? Hilarious items from casino performers? Terrifying items from the many, many girly bars? What I found was a small but jam-packed store with an entire wall of dresses. A WALL of dresses. The aisles were so narrow that everybody was leaving their carts at the end. Very few people were speaking English - mostly Spanish and Russian, from what I could tell - and I was pretty confident that no one would be competing with me for the clothes I wanted, since I was the youngest person in there by a couple of decades, easy.

I made out like a bandit, though. I didn't take pictures of a couple of layering tank tops, some yoga pants (and a running skirt - $2 for a running skirt is very exciting!), and a skirt that I didn't try on because it was my size and Kenneth Cole, but turned out to look like the skirt version of Hammer pants. Very weird. Anyway, the dresses and skirts were pretty great...so here they are!

J Crew, $5
What you can't really see here is the white embroidery. Pretty pretty pretty! And since I'm tanned for about the only time in my life, I wore this one right away. This will NOT be good on me when I'm back to being pasty white.

Bitten, $2.50
Continuing my mission to rescue the entire SJP Bitten line from extinction, at least in my closet. It's a nice stretchy knit and is SO comfortable and breathable!

Old Navy, $3.50
I wore this right away in Atlantic City. Love the off the shoulder, love the flowiness and stretchiness. The green wall makes it hard to tell, but this is a true blue color.

$3.50, Forever 21
Just can't get enough of that stretchy knit material. It's my favorite material for a summer dress, since it's so comfortable and cool on a hot day. Which, incidentally, I could use a few more of.

$3.50, Banana Republic
OK, did NOT realize how much this needed to be ironed until I took the picture. Anyway, I love the top and it is a really soft, shiny metallic skirt. 

Banana Republic, $3.00
It's hard to see the print but it's little shades of gray and purple boxes. Nothing makes my day more than finding Banana Republic at the Salvo!

Express, $3.00

It's scratchy wool, so this one will definitely be for winter, paired with tights.

Atlantic City's Salvo gets two thumbs up from me!

  2. Well, you're welcome to the skirt! Although it would probably be too big for either of your girls!
