What I Wore Wednesday- Two Outfits, One Bag

Rarely do I build an outfit around an accessory. Usually I'm inspired by a recent top or sweater purchase, perhaps by a cool pair of pants. This week however, I was inspired to build TWO outfits around an accessory-and you'll see why.

The satchel that inspired my outfits is versatile and chic- easily transitioning from everyday casual to nighttime sassy. Since my life (and the life of almost every woman I know) has occasion for both sorts of outfits, owning a handbag that saves me the time it takes to switch the contents of my purse from day bag to night clutch is invaluable.

As is the case almost every week, I created a funky nighttime party look and a casual relaxed daytime look. The two looks don't use the same color palate, but both are complimented by my beloved neutral color block satchel. Which look is your favorite?

Look One:

 

Tank- Banana Republic
Vest- Forever 21
Shorts- Urban Outfitters
Tights -CVS
Necklace-ASOS
Ring- Festival Find
Bag- C/O Pixie Mood

Look Two:

Sweater- Express
Tank- Victoria's Secret
Pants- Forever 21
Earrings- BonTon
Necklace- Festival Find
Bag- C/O Pixie Mood

If you love my bag as much as I do, learn more about the wonderful company that made it in my recent feature post here.

Saturday Special - Pixie Mood, Vegan Handbag Designer

Do you need a new handbag, wallet, passport holder, or wristlet for the upcoming season but don't wear (or can't afford) real leather? Then Pixie Mood is what you're looking for! Designer Chloe Ho avoids using real leather because she and her company love animals and do not support wearing their skins. Although the bags are made from vegan leather, they don't sacrifice style. If you love the look of real leather, you will love these products.

Chloe is inspired by color and whimsy, and creates products that are fun and fashionable- but completely affordable! Every piece is priced at under $50.00. 

Take a look at some of my favorite Pixie Mood products. Just looking at the rainbow of colors and fashionable styles will surely lift your spirits. Owning one of these will brighten your day every time you wear it!

The Steph Bag

The lovely people at Pixie Mood were kind enough to send me the Steph Bag in beige and it has become my new everyday carry-all! It looks like a satchel, but it isn't as structured as you would expect a satchel to be. The pliable material molds to your body and to the contents you're carrying. Look forward to more pictures of me wearing my bag in this outfit and in another more casual outfit on Wednesday!

The Vanessa Pouch

The Disco Long Wallet

The Queenie Cross-body Bag
Pixie Mood products are extremely versatile, a characteristic important to many of us who have busy lives. Although they are playful and whimsical, perfect for a young free-spirited person- every piece can be styled into a professional woman's wardrobe. Many of the long wallets and passport holders can double their wear-ability and be used as clutches. And the bags that come with straps can be worn cross-body or on the shoulder.

Preview of the Fall/Winter 2012-2013 Collection
The new collection incorporates the darker, moodier colors that compliment the fall and winter seasons to come and the outfits we will be wearing throughout these seasons. We see some sparkly bags, ideal for a girly-girl- and we see some satchels, perfect for a busy business-woman.

I know that many of you will now love Pixie Mood as much as I do. Head over to the website and pick out a new bag, while supporting the use of cruelty-free products. Which piece is your favorite?
