Here's something to add a little levity to your Monday: The Macy's Spring 2012 read-to-wear lookbook, featuring a sampling of some of the signature looks from affordable brands like INC International Concepts, Alfani, Bar III, Tommy Hilfiger, Style & Co., Rachel Rachel Roy, Charter Club and Ellen Tracy. Key trends to crave include asymmetric draped dresses, colored super slim pants, cool casual jackets, femme sweaters, flirty blouses, full fluid pants, full skirts, garden party dresses, graphic dresses, graphic t-shirts, prep toppers, statement shirts and tunics. There's literally something for everyone, and plenty of last season's trends are coming back which means updating your closet will be easy on the wallet. Not to mention each piece shown in this lookbook is under $200 (drop me a comment if you have a question about a particular piece). I think Rachel Roy's looks are my favorite and among the most directional, like the printed shorts and feminine tank top shown above. Her other look is the mixed floral print top and skirt, I think 2012 will be all about mixed prints especially for daring fashion bloggers. What do you think? Which pieces are catching your eye?
