It's Official: We have a school bag issue.

One of the best things about Tumblr is that questions and conversation between users is common--almost encouraged. So the other day when somebody asked me what I use for a school bag, it really tripped me up. What is my ideal school bag? Do I have a favorite?!

I try my best not to bring my computer to class because it just leads to distractions so most days I honestly don't even use a standard school bag. Instead I just use a purse tall enough or wide enough for a couple notebooks, my planner, and a couple pencils. I am a very organized person so that last thing I want is a heavy purse full of junk.

However, when I do lug around my computer I like to use my Vera Bradley bag 
because the sturdy bottom can hold a lot of weight. Plus I love that it is bright!!
 I also really love my Francesca Joy Tote!

If you are like me and don't use a backpack, I think these brands make some other great options:
Dooney and Bourke is seriously growing on me!

What do you use for a school bag?

  1. I have been using a large Longchamp bag for most of the year, but lately it has been getting too heavy for me to carry with my laptop and some books! When I need to carry a lot for a full day, I have been using a backpack. I'm still trying to find a good mix between tote/backpack for all my stuff!

  3. It depends...I'm only in high school right now. Some days I use a North Face backpack, but that's mainly when I have to carry everything for all of my classes. I have a Vera Bradley bag like yours but in Mocha Rouge that I use when I can leave a few things at home. And when I can leave most of my stuff at home, I use a large Longchamp tote.

  5. How do you do it girl?! I could never carry a tote - my shoulders and back would kill! But I wish I could, because totes are so much cuter than a backpack! Anyways, I always use my North Face backpack - it's comfy and is huge!

  8. I have to use a backpack most of the time, but I use my Vineyard Vines tote when I don't have to carry much.

  9. Do you happen to know the name of that style of your Vera Bradley tote? I'm thinking about purchasing one myself. Thanks!
