Let me read your mind for a sec — you’re probably o the hunt for a new set of color-coding pens, a lifesaving 20-month planner, and a backpack durable enough to carry them both within its pockets and zippers. Oftentimes, it can be hard to find a bag that gets the job done while complementing your outfits. The same shades of black, navy, and white can be as dull as a chalkboard. As you prepare to face the long days of lectures and homework reviews, you’ll always long for bright colors to keep you energized throughout the day and a bag that looks more like an accessory than a photo-bomb in your #OOTD posts.
School, as well as school shopping, can sometimes be less than exciting — but your backpack doesn’t have to. Ditch your basic #backtoschool bag and start the year with something that will hold your books and turn heads throughout the hallways. Summer’s over, but these hot pieces are still up for grabs!
