Who says you can't wear white after Labor Day? If you still believe in this myth, it's time to throw it out once and for all.  From season to season, runway show after runway show, countless designers show us that white isn't only approved for those warmer months.  When done right, white is amazingly fresh and crisp when worn when the weather turns a little chilly.  The key to rocking the cool tone in fall and winter is keeping in mind it's all about the fabric.  There's no place for summer's light and airy textiles like linen and seersucker in the cooler months.  Instead, we're pulling out the leather, heavy cottons and polyester for these looks to keep it fall-chic while still rocking white.

FEELIN' FRINGE

While we are often introduced to new trends, some just keep repeating themselves and refuse to die off.  Fringe is one of those trends that has never entirely been out of fashion -- in fact year after year, season after season, many top designers incorporate the shredded look into their collections. From leather jackets and skirts to shoes and handbags, fringe continues to show up everywhere we look and we absolutely love it!  Though the classic trend may seem a bit tricky to pull off -- it works great in moderation.  Keep in mind that fringe is a statement in itself; so pairing with more simple and classic items is key to a balanced look that doesn't scream "costume."  We've been rocking fringe for a while now, and although we sport it year-around, our favorite season to pull out the fringe is Autumn.  Teaming up for a Sister Sister shoot, we both picked out our fav fringe pieces from the closet and styled them up for these looks.  Are you feelin' fringe as much as we are? 

 Strutting away in a fringe mini skirt from H&M, Cari's keeping it edgy chic rocking thigh-high Tony Bianco boots and black sweater.

The fun thing about fringe is the natural movement it creates.  Sporting a distressed American Eagle boyfriend jean and sheer blouse, Kay's  finishing off her look with a faux leather handbag -- in fringe of course.

FASH-TECH

Technology has opened so many doors for women of our generation -- and with an eye for fashion, women have entered this space and coined the term Fash-Tech Innovators.  Ok so I admit, that's the term we gave them, but highlighting those ladies in tech who are as stylish as they are brainy and accomplished is a must.  Women like Amber Venz Box, Co-Founder of rewardStyle, Sophia Amoruso, Founder of NastyGal and Marissa Mayer, President & CEO of Yahoo, know how to keep it stylish in tech.  Individually, Kay and I embrace the combination of fashion and technology through our own entrepreneurial endeavors.  As the CEO of tech start-up PostFav, there is never a dull moment at the office when I arrive wearing 4 inch Jimmy Choos and a monochromatic tailored suit.  Kay, creator of Kerri Alston Extensions, helps tell her fashion story through hair on social media.  Together we are sister bloggers, who have the joy of leveraging technology to connect with our amazing viewers through the web and social media with the click of a button.  It has been so rewarding to be able to share a little piece of us and something so near and dear to our hearts, FASHION, with each and every one of you.  

So meet us at the intersection of fashion and technology and let's get into these looks. Stripes -- so basic right? Well, we don't think so.  Instead, we actually find ourselves resorting to the simple yet massive statement style from time to time.  You know we love a classic black and white look and the versatility and infinite outfits we can put together with the help of stripes is a plus.  Personally, I find it so effortless and chic at the same time when paired with solids to give the look balance -- focusing the eye in just the right places.  Flipping this style horizontally, we went for twinning stripe looks and added our own individual flare as we always do.  I kept it clean and fresh with a white two-piece suit, while Kay dabbled into the color family and pulled out these amazing grey trousers.

BIG CITY BIG DREAMS

For as long as I can remember I have been a city girl -- in love with the tall buildings, great shopping and new restaurants popping up all the time.  Big city big dreams right? Recently, I began a new start up and secured my very own office space at the Atlanta Tech Village.  Aside from the amazing rooftop views, this place overflows with resources and opportunities for entrepreneurs chasing the dream.  For a modern day working girl shoot, I dipped up to the roof to capture the day in the life of a tech girl. Rocking this adorable custom-made skirt from Chai Design Studio, I kept my work look simple pairing with all black.  So keep it chic and remember to dream big!

SPRING STYLIN'

We are suckers for the classic black and white palette, but we love playing around with softer hues from time to time.  Pastels are gorgeous in spring and work great with complementary colors.  Opting for a clean and refreshing look without the fuss, we decided to rock solids in white, grey and blush pink.  This trio is perfect combined together and works so versatile in styling, making these outfits super easy to rock.  Closet basics are essential in building a wardrobe, that's why we tend to always lean towards solid interchangeable pieces that work great from season to season. So have fun while you're shopping but always remember to keep your eyes peeled for simple yet stylish pieces.  XO
