Sailing into a New School Year: Part #1: Choosing a Bag for School

Summer is coming to a close here in Charleston, SC; School for lots of us starts in just 3 weeks. 
Where did our summer go?
A Pair of Chic Pearls came to me and asked if I would like to take part in a blog collaboration with them and do a series on "Back to School". 
I couldn't resist such a great opportunity! 

Throughout the next three weeks, myself, Cathie, and Kira, will be posting on our personal blogs, helping you to get ready for a new school year.


{Women's Borealis Backpack - The North Face} I currently am using a North Face Backpack (very similar to one above), and it is my favorite backpack that I have owned. It has lots of padding on the back/shoulder straps to support your back, and also has a large interior. It can fit (from experience) 3 binders: 2 one inch and 1 inch and a half.
{L. L. Bean Deluxe Book Pack} I used this backpack in 6th and 7th grade, and I really loved it. It has a lot of room, with 2 large pockets and one smaller one. It is larger than the North  Face backpack, and can fit a few more binders and textbooks. 

Make sure you choose a backpack that fits your needs; don't choose it just because it's cute. You want something that will be sturdy and hold what you need. It is essential! 

{Vineyard Whale Colored Tote} If you want a simple canvas bag to use on days with lighter homework (or none at all!) use a fashionable and preppy bag from Vineyard Vines. It is not very large, so make sure you use it at the correct times.

{Longchamp Le Pliage Shopping Bag L} The Longchamp bag is fairly large, but I would not recommend using it on a day to day basis; it won't be large enough to carry the countless binders and very heavy textbooks.  

{Dooney & Bourke: Nylon North/South Triple Zip} This is a very simple cross body bag with 3 separate pockets. It can serve as a purse to hold the necessities - phone, lipgloss, and any other little things you like to always have with you.  

{Lands' End Large Natural Zip Top Canvas Tote Bag} Lands' End is a great company. Their canvas bags are durable and easy to wash. This is another one of those bags that you will want to use on a lighter day, but this is the largest tote shown on this post.

Whatever bag you choose this school year, make sure you choose something that will last the year and that you won't get tired of.
Also, consider getting a bag that is easily washable, because the dirty bus floors can make your bag quite nasty.

What backpack have you chosen to use this year?

Tomorrow, Cathie will be posting about Stress Management on her blog.
I will be posting a link to the post, so stay tuned!

Love, Sydney
