Remember, you're sick. By venturing out of the house, you open yourself up to questions about just how ill you are. The safest way to not get caught is to not leave the house. This is especially true for any type of event like a play or even to go shopping. It could be very uncomfortable, for example, if you run into a colleague or your boss at the mall on a day you've called in sick. Likewise, attending a school play or sporting event on a day you've been home with strep throat also raises red flags. If you go outside of your home, for example for food, and run into someone, then you can always say "I'm out to get medication. I ran out last night." Strep throat doesn't disappear from one day to the next, so it's important to keep up appearances that you're healing. Don't talk loudly or yell so that you don't irritate your still sensitive throat. Keep drinking soothing liquids like tea with honey or cool water. Likewise, using throat lozenges will reinforce that you're still sick. Doing your regular activities, from going to the gym or having a wild dinner party, soon after you had strep throat isn't a good idea because it will raise questions about why you could do these things but couldn't come to work or school. Slowly reintroduce your usual program. For example, if there's a dinner the day after you get back to work, skip it and say "I'm still a bit under the weather so I'm going to pass this time."

One-sentence summary -- Don't let anyone seeing you out and about. Keep babying your throat. Don't get back to regular activities right away.

Traditional business suit jackets clash a bit with khakis, as they are a casual look and fabric. To dress up your pants, choose blazers in flat fabrics, such as corduroy or linen, to match khaki's less formal feel. Opt for a soft-shouldered jacket to avoid an overly structured look on top since your pants are more casual. Choose blazers in neutral colors that complement khaki, such as navy, brown, maroon or olive. Leaving your jacket unbuttoned also adds to khaki's easygoing appeal. If you're a man, adding suit accessories, such as a pocket square and tie, elevates your khakis and makes your look seem more complete. Chose accessories that are in a flat fabric to better match the informality of your pants. For a feminine look, layer on classic jewelry such as pearls, or opt for a high heel in a nude color to dress up your look and make your pants less casual. Cotton pocket squares and knit ties are great options to make your khakis dressier. Try a tucked-in oxford dress shirt to give your look a more tailored appearance. Leather is a natural companion of khaki and can elevate your appearance. Try a brown leather belt and shoes to complement your khakis and bring your dressy look together. If you're not a fan of brown, a nude shoe or suede shoe in hunter green or navy can give your look some polish. Black accessories usually provide too much contrast, both in color and formality, to be worn well with khakis. Save them for a more formal suit or dress. Women can opt for a thinner belt to add a finer touch to the look. Layers make any look appear more expensive and polished. Elevate your khakis by adding a sweater, vest or pea coat over a button up shirt and tailored khakis. For a more feminine touch, boots, camisoles, cardigans, and jewelry can provide more depth to your look. Khaki can have a utilitarian look. You can give your khakis an unexpected twist by pairing them with softer pieces like a lace top or silk scarf. This provides nice contrast.

There are a few different products you can choose from to add a bit of shine and start blending your eyeliner. Note that this isn't the actual gloss, but will add a bit of luster to get you started. For this, you want to use a wax-based product that isn't overly sticky. A wax-based product like MAC's Mixing Medium Shine is ideal. If you don't want to shell out the cash for a designer product, you can use some waxy lip balm to create the same effect. If you're trying this look out for the first time, it might be wise to save the cash and try creating it with cheaper products. If you love the look and want to wear it often, however, it's worth investing in the longer-lasting products that are created specifically for the eyes. Whether you're using the MAC product or a bit of balm, you'll apply it the same way. Get a bit of the product on your fingertip and press it onto your eyelid. Using a light hand, carefully use the product to smudge out the kohl eyeliner you previously applied. Gently pull the eyeliner up the lid to create a softer, smokier effect. If you want your lash line to be darkest, you can certainly add a bit more eyeliner to your lash line after you've smudged it out a bit. Remember, though, that this look really isn't about precision or stark lines. Finally, after you've blended your eyeliner and laid a shiny foundation, it's time to apply your gloss. There are a few different eye glosses on the market, like MAC Eye Gloss, NYX Lid Lacquer, MAKE Face Gloss, and Glossier Balm Dotcom. You can find a variety of glosses online or at your local beauty supply store. Use a flat brush or your finger to apply the gloss over your entire lid. Start in the middle and carefully sweep it outwards. If you're worried about your eyelids feeling sticky, avoid applying any product to the crease. Smooth the product to your lid below the crease and a bit above the crease, but don't put any directly in it! If you don't want to buy a product meant specifically for your eye, you can always use a clear lip gloss or Vaseline-type product instead.
