Well, my spring break hasn't been exactly "woo hoo" (it's a Friends quote, for those of you who can't quote every line of every episode. Some of you got it without any explanation... you know who you are). It's been more work-out-do-housework-obsess-over-learning-French. But these are good things, if less fun than lying on a beach all day. And best yet, it means that summer is juuuuust around the corner. And don't worry, this summer I'll be back to visiting multiple Salvation Armies every Wednesday, with a few special thrifting treats planned.
This Salvo Wednesday wasn't as rewarding as some Wednesdays, but I got a few very nice items.

| J-Crew t-shirt, $2 Seven jeans, $3.50 |
I have been seeing this color pop up in my classroom constantly lately. Sometimes I look at the room to see a FLOOD of this color, and I love it. So I had to find something in this color. I was fortunate to find it in the form of J Crew!
When I made my first stop at the Henrietta Salvation Army, I found a pair of Seven jeans for $3.50 that were CLEARLY too small for me. I tried them on anyway, because, come on. They're SEVEN! I got them zipped up but nobody needed to see me in them, ever. So I gave up and moved on, and had the surprising luck to find this pair in my size at the Irondequoit Salvo for the same price. Wheeeee!

| Ann Taylor Loft, $2.50 |
Light, gauzy, pretty. Yes, I bought a sweater just as warmth is returning. I figure this is the best way to make sure it doesn't get cold again before summer!

| To the Max, $1.50 |
One dollar and fifty cents. Sundress with pockets. I don't think anything else needs to be said here.

| $1 |
I judge myself a little for wanting these, but these are solely for back yard purposes. And to make me giggle. Don't get any ideas... I still don't want to wear music in any other way. No treble clef necklaces, no keyboard belts/scarves/what have you. These are enough for a decade or so.
The only other thing I bought was not for myself. Mind you, if they had been my size instead of a size small, I would not have been so generous. I knew my vintage-loving, tiny-footed friend Sarah would go wild over them, though, so there was no leaving them behind.
And that's it, friends. The school year is winding down - just one last marking period to go, a few concerts, a few seniors to graduate and thus break my heart, and that's it. Then it's me, Salvos, and sunshine. Summer, here I come!
