When most women under the age of 50 think about the
Liz Claiborne label, they imagine fashions that are better suited for a women who is, well, over 50. Too young to remember Liz Claiborne's beginnings as a revolutionary label that changed the way women shopped for clothing, all we remember of Liz is the frump that landed the label in discount department stores in the '90s. But, times are changing at Liz Claiborne.
Now designed by fashion superstar
Isaac Mizrahi, who debuted his first Liz Claiborne collection in Spring 2009, the label is suddenly chic again. A quick glance at the fall offerings turns up all of the major trends, re-worked for a woman who works for a living, and super affordably priced. I know, you're still doubtful. It is hard to change perceptions of a label that hasn't been youthful since its youth. Here's your chance to get a new taste of Liz Claiborne for less.
Monday, September 14, through Sunday, September 20, Liz Claiborne is offering
$50 off all full-priced purchases of $150 or more or $20 off full-priced purchases of $100 or more. Plus, you'll get Free Shipping on your entire order. There's no better time to dip your toe back into Liz Claiborne, or try the label for the first time.
Wondering what to try first? I'd start with the
Multi-Plaid Ruched Crossover Dress [top left]. This new dress, which showcases the fall plaid trend, has been a favorite of fashion editors, most recently appearing in
People StyleWatch Magazine. If outerwear is on your to-buy list, you can't go wrong with the
Stretch Ponte 3/4-Sleeve Scarf Collar Coat [right], which was recently featured in
Bazaar. The
Bonded Cotton Double-Breasted Coat ($199.00) offers another classic take on outerwear, kicked up a notch with the addition of a cheetah-print lining.
Also worthy of a second look are the ladylike tops Liz Claiborne is offering for fall. Standouts include the
Voile Daisy-Print Blouse in sunshine yellow (on sale for $22.99) and the
Chintz Sateen Leaf-Print Tie-Front Blouse ($79.00), which makes fall's dark floral trend super wearable for even professional offices. But, my favorite is the
Dandelion Plaid Poplin Crossover Blouse [left], which brilliantly fuses Liz Claiborne's accessibility with Isaac Mizrahi's sense of of whimsy and talent for high-fashion.
I could go on for days about favorite pieces from Isaac Mizrahi's revamped Liz Claiborne. There are easily 20 pieces I'd welcome into my wardrobe right this minute. If you haven't
