Stand Out Style at Sassy City Chicks

Sassy City Chicks hosted their second annual shopping event at the Design District’s Moore Building. Local designers and boutiques set up shop selling their latest in Fall merchandise at up to 80 percent off. Miami Chic stopped by in search of style setters who were suited up in stand out looks. From color blocking to feminine goth to polka dots, this trio was all about being bold. (from left to right).[Photos by George Martinez]
