Growing up one of my mom’s best friends had an original sketch by Liz Claiborne framed in her hallway, which I would always admire. She’s the designer that introduced me to the Hounds Tooth print and this month Liz Claiborne celebrates 40 years!

To celebrate JCPenney has launched the “40 Looks of Liz Claiborne” Anniversary Collection for fall paying homage to the legacy of the iconic brand that has always stood for “effortless utility for busy, working woman.” Exclusively at all JCPenney locations and jcp.com, it’s a versatile collection with great layering pieces and separates that range from sporty from sporty to office attire.
