Gingham & Mustard

Hi everybody, today I'm heading off to the dry cleaners to get my coats dry-cleaned before I put them away for the Spring/Summer. I bought this shirt yesterday (still on the budget) however it had yellowish deodorant stains, I never buy stained clothes but I decided to risk it, once I got home I put vinegar and baking soda on the stains and I let it sit for a couple of hours, then I scrubbed some of that Spray-n-wash stain remover and I put it in the washer, I was very satisfied that the stains were gone. I like the shirt because the gingham pattern is larger than what I usually see at the thrift stores, it's also a slim cut which I rarely find.
 I finally worked on this tassel necklace, I removed the old tiny gold chain and put this F21 black necklace instead, like one of the savvy readers suggested.
 These shoes are officially stuck to my feet now.
Outfit Details:
Shirt: Ann Taylor/ thrifted

This skirt is so cute on you! I have a pair of mocassins that are also practically glued to my feet. I've been meaning to look for something of the loafer variety.
