Allen B. for JCPenney Spring 2012 Lookbook




Next up from JCPenney, here's the Allen B. by Allen Schwartz spring 2012 lookbook. This line is typically a bit flashier, trendier, more celebrity-influenced and filled with exuberant colors and prints. From off-shoulder tops to chiffon maxi dresses, flared jeans and floppy hats, the line captures a jet-set resortwear vibe. With the exception of the outfit above, I can't say this particular lookbook appeals to my personal style but it's always good to have options when you're shopping the racks at JCPenney. Look for these pieces to be released now through April online and/or at jcp.com. Note that the shoes in this lookbook are by Decree and n by Nicole Miller (other JCP brands) not Allen B. What's your take?

It always looks good in the lookbook but when I go see it at the store I am underwhelmed.

LOVE the tops, especially in looks #2 and #4. Will be keeping an eye out for those.

I'm not really wild about any of it but would LOVE hair like that model's!

My favorite is the tangerine off the shoulder top with the blue trim, too. Very fun and flowy.

These tops and that pleated dress with the asymetrical hem look amazing! I'll be looking out for them soon.

I love the whole long in the back dress look! So perfect for those of us that want to show the FRONT of our legs and not the BACK!!

What great designs and in for sure.
J C Penney is different now Allen.

They need me to assist to make them
