+- To use, add `.has-warning`, `.has-danger`, or `.has-success` to the parent element. Any `.form-control-label`, `.form-control`, and `.text-help` within that element will receive the validation styles.
+- Validation icons are `url()`s configured via Sass variables that are applied to `background-image` declarations for each state.
+- You may use your own base64 PNGs or SVGs by updating the Sass variables and recompiling.
+- Icons can also be disabled entirely by changing the variables to `non` or commenting out the source Sass.
