Wear, Arrive

Mnemonic

There are sheep right before your eyes, because they just love what you wear. It's a little known fact that sheep are fashionistas, and they arrive daily to admire your style. These sheep are so stylish they wear their tail to one side - in the latest fashion (check out the sheep radical - the tail is sweeping stylishly to the left!).

Imagine all the chic sheep lining up to check out your style, with their carefully coiffed left-hanging tails!
