street style: joanne lukens

As a free-lance writer, I spend large amounts of time in front of the computer, dressed in my most comfy clothes – yoga pants, sweats, and shhhh! my PJs. So when I go out, it’s necessary to undergo a transformation.

But it’s not as easy as you may think. My wardrobe is in need of a seasonal upgrade (white jeans won’t cut it much longer), and shopping can sometimes be frustrating… Like recently when I found myself in a mall dressing room, wondering, “Who decided the ’70s were a fashion decade worth repeating? Why would I wear jodhpurs when I don’t ride?” “Is sideboob really the next thing for anyone besides a Kardashian?” And most importantly, “Where can I find a great outfit to wear on Saturday night?”

That’s when I headed to Coco Blanca. The clothes are fashionably trendy yet classically inspired. Not only that, I am confident that the stylists there will suggest apparel that makes me both look and feel good. And they do every time!

Check out these photos: Coco Blanca is carrying great leathers this fall–soft and luxurious dresses, pants, and jackets. These leather pants are so comfy. Look out yoga pants! I love the rabbit fur vest—it’s so on trend for the season! Elisabeth and Susie picked this out. They have such an eye. Look at the jewelry too. Full service!
