1. THE #1 CLOSET ESSENTIAL IS...
"A pinstripe suit. I constantly reinvent mine by wearing the pieces separately and dressing them up or down. They add effortless drama and a timeless feel to your look."
2. THE NEW WAY TO MAKE A STATEMENT:
"Sparkle for day. Wear beaded shoes to liven up a work outfit, or pair a sequin top with simple sweatpants for a playful feel. Sparkly stuff takes an outfit from a 5 to a 10 every time."

3. EVERY MOM NEEDS...
"What I like to call 'glamouflage.' If I run out in sweats to drop the kids off, I throw on huge glasses and a funky hat: Now I'm in an outfit!"
4. DEFINITELY DON'T FEAR...
"Leopard print! It feels bold but is actually super-classic. Start with an accent if it scares you."
5. THE EASIEST SPRING UPDATE:
"Bold color - especially neon. It will bring fresh energy to pieces you already own."
