Better Late Than Never Salvo Wednesday

So, this isn't a normal summer for me. Yes, I'm on break from school and all that it entails... but I'm doing some work for my second job (out of three). I am authoring an AP Music Theory course that will be offered online throughout New York State. Now, for those of you who haven't tried figuring out how to teach music theory online, let me fill you in. It's ridiculous. Incredibly fun, if you're both a music and a tech dork like myself, but....yikes. Time consuming and baffling at times. I'm spending the better part of most of my summer days like this:

...instead of my preferred method, which goes a little more like this:

No, that's still not it. Let's try THIS: 

Ah. Yup, there it is.

Anyway, all that to say this: I am very delinquent in my Salvo Wednesday post. And it's not going to get any better, at least not until I finish the course. So, without further ado, here is what I found a week and a half ago at the city Salvo!

NY&Co, $3.50

So what happened here was that I tried it on and I wasn't sure about it, so I took a picture to send to a friend for her opinion. And then I looked at the picture, and the second opinion was no longer necessary. In fact, when I'm feeling gross and huge this summer when I put on a few pounds as I inevitably do while marathon training (crazy, right? Makes no sense at all!), I'm going to look at this picture and feel immediately better.

Wet Seal, $2.50

Adodrable, but needs a slip underneath. Which I have, but needs hemming. I swear I'm going to get around to wearing it someday!

Bebop, $3.50

I seem to have a weakness for the dresses with tank tops, thick elastic waistbands, and fun skirts. This one has a big, pronounced zipper up the back, which I usually don't like, but really works on this dress.

Express, $3.50

I feel obligated to point out here that a) the skirt looks like jean, but isn't. It's something softer and lovely and b) this had its original tags on it. The original $79 tags. Thassright.

Skirt - Picnic by CPW, $2.50

 The top is not one of the finds from this week, but rather a Goodwill purchase from a while back. But I thought it looked rather perfect with the full skirt. I saw it and realized that somehow, a full black skirt was missing from my wardrobe. No more!

I'd also like to point out that this is my sixth black skirt. SIXTH. And only one of them does not reach my knees. So, if any current students or parents of current students are reading this, be ye warned: I will lose it the next time a kid shows up to a concert in a mini skirt and tries to tell me "but they don't MAKE skirts that long!" I. Will. Lose. It.  You've been warned.

Anyway, I did get to the Salvo this week too, and I'll get around to it, I swear. Just not today. Don't know when, really. That AP course isn't gonna write itself!
