No. 7 makes perfect business sense, to me. Networking and not burning bridges is beneficial for business as well as individuals. Treating former employees as valuable alumni will yield a greater ROI than burning the bridge – and in so many ways, too. Admittedly, the special programs discussed by the article to keep those alumni engaged are a new idea to me, but I don’t think they’re without merit.
That red dress immediately made me think of the classic dancing lady emoji. Think of the photo ops!
Ditto on the Hobo Lauren wallet. The. Best. Wallet. EVER!
That Sanna asymmetrical top is AMAZING. Is there anything similar in a lower price point?
