Fall into fashion: Elizabeth Bean Smith

Owner and founder, Wardrobe Therapy

FASHION CREDENTIALS

Bean Smith, 33, studied at the Fashion Institute of  Technology in New York, and later worked for Express, before starting fashion consulting firm Wardrobe Therapy in 2006.

THE FALL RUNWAY COLLECTION I LOVE

Alice + Olivia. It’s the one that most represents my own style. It’s boho, ultra feminine and easy chic. I really like Erin Fetherston too. She’s one of those designers who really changes from season to season.

THREE PIECES YOU NEED TO BE ON TREND THIS FALL

1. Something leather. It doesn’t have to be all leather, just something with a leather detail.

2. Something ladylike and ultra feminine. It’s about knowing how to wear a great skirt, pretty blouse and jewelry.

3. A piece that is navy and black. It’s such a fresh take on fall, and looks chic when done right.

TRANSITION TIP

Take a favorite summer piece, like colored denim in cobalt blue or burgundy, and pair it with something black to carry it into fall. Throw on a tee and a blazer and go ultra glam.

RIGHT NOW, I CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT MY

Easy knit pieces that I can dress up or dress down.
