LOFT, also known as Ann Taylor's younger, super-independent sister, is taking its Fall 2012 collection for a youthfully chic spin, offering up countless ways to master the "art of print" with cool takes on classic pieces and covet-worthy accessories. Divided into four stylized apartments — think artsy style setter, sleek Francophile, sophisticated lady about town, and polished bohemian — LOFT's autumnal lineup showed off everything from chunky knits and nude suede booties to silky polka-dot printed blouses paired with equally patterned trousers. We spotted slick tortoise shell bow-tie belts, metallic snakeskin satchels, tribal-inspired statement necklaces, and softer than soft scarves just waiting to be draped around your neck. The best part? These pieces are totally affordable; nothing's priced over $150 and most pieces are under $75. Keep clicking to take a closer look at LOFT's complete Fall '12 line.
