Sit down checks – how timely. I have been doing a lot of inspiration searching which returned a lot of images from the front row of the runway shows. If there ever was a need to dress and sit with preserving your dignity in mind, this would be it.

I’m crying. Those are too funny for a quiet day at work. I’ll have to save for when I get home.

Forego the Sephora tool. Take a piece of cardboard or an index card and cut a semi-circle out of it. Voila. You saved $7.
