Rose Hayes"Every chic closet should have a go-to black dress that you know you will feel great in and can throw on at a moment's notice. This dress doesn't have to be solid, but it does need to be highly versatile—something you can pull out for those impromptu events. From dinner to an art show, this dress will take the stress from worrying about what to wear." — Hayes

Rose Hayes"A well-curated, chic closet will most likely have a few good jewelry pieces that were passed down for generations (or at least looks like they've been in the family forever). To achieve the same look, buy fewer but better-quality metals, gems, and diamonds. Just like your fine china, don't let your prettiest pieces sit and collect dust waiting for a special occasion. I always tell my clients to wear and enjoy their good jewelry every day." — Hayes
