Black Knit Dresses

"I believe everyone should have a black knit dress, or the 'LBKD,' in their wardrobe. It can take you from a casual day with slides or sneakers to a night out with wedges and a fun handbag."

White Tanks Tees

"When it starts getting warmer, I make sure all my clients have new crisp white tanks and T-shirts for the season. They are perfect to wear on their own or under a third piece."

Straight-Leg Jeans

"Denim is the essential staple of our wardrobes. Investing in perfect-fitting denim and silhouettes of the season is a must. Think straight-leg, bootcut, and flare. You can't go wrong with these updated denim trends."

Button-Down Shirts

"The classic button-down has been revived. Think oversize and chic. From stripes to solids and even color, it's a must for the spring season. I love pairing it with my straight-leg jeans for a classic yet on-trend look."

Blazers

"The blazer is the It piece to add to your wardrobe. It puts the finishing touch on any look. I love adding a blazer in a color or even a neutral print like plaid, but you can't go wrong with a basic black either."

Denim Jackets

"The denim jacket is a must-have basic item everyone should own. There are so many styles and washes to choose from this season. I love throwing it over a dress or even with a casual look with joggers. It's in every dressing room for every client I see."
