Remember the good old days? Passing notes in class praying your teacher wouldn’t catch you. Hoping your 6th grade crush would sit next to you in the lunchroom. Playing with pogs. AOL 3.0 chatrooms. Away messages. Friendship bracelets. Making up dances. The only stress you had was where would the next slumber party be. It’s hard to believe all that time has gone by, and I can’t help but remember those great childhood years. Something I owned too many of back in the day was the backpack (all the way from Jansport to those fake Prada ones everyone I went to school with carried). I was all about the backpack. In time I was over that stage and thought they were uncool, but I guess I spoke too soon. I’m feeling backpacks again (as I mentioned in this post), and I’m not ashamed to say it.
1. Topshop Washed Multi Zip Backpack 2. Alexander Wang Marti Backpack 3. Urban Outfitters Kimchi Blue Quilted Faux Leather Backpack 4. Ostrich Studs Backpack 5. Marc by Marc Jacobs Nylon Backpack 6. Madewell Transport Rucksack (previously mentioned here)
I was actually trying to convince myself to buy a bag similar to #6 recently, something about it was just calling my name! I’m not sure when I would actually use a backpack though in my day to day life.

im still unsure about backpacks – but i’m sure i’ll jump on Xo Megan, http://www.TfDiaries.com
#6 is my fave as well – I don’t know if I could pull it off, but I adore the look!
Girl you speak too truthfully about those good old days. I have fond memories of everything you said and the backpack was a good friend of mine then too~
I still use one from time to time but it doesn’t get the same love it did back when I was a school girl! I’ve recently wanted to get a rucksack to relive some of my nostalgia~
What do you think?

Oh the back pack! I can’t say that I would wear one at my age, but I love the picks above! Wish I was in college still!
Oh, backpacks! I actually saw a few other cute ones at topshop the other day.
I work in a really fashion-forward office (not that I’M fashion forward, ha…just that others are!) and I’ve been seeing “chic backpacks” EVERYWHERE. I actually think they’re sort of cute…I would maybe rock a leather one!
Backpacks are soooo useful!

NEVER used a backkpack, but I’m intrigued by #2 which can be reconfigfured to be used as a shoulder bag!!! And love that squishy look and feel even tho that color would get dirty quickly.
ahhh backpacks! i am NOT used to it yet that they’re coming back into the fashion scene. i mean they are coming out with some cute ones, so i may give in eventually, for a fun weekend bag!

i’M glad the bagpack is back! i’m all about the informal looks, and sometimes bags are too lady lake for my taste.. this is a great option!
I would wear a backpack again for sure if it looked like any of these!! I love #6!!
