It's In The Bag

One major must-have item we all need to go back to school with is a great bag. We all need a bag to carry books, highlighters, pens, and many other essentials in. And of course we want our bags to be stylish. But what type of bag should you carry? Do you want to be trendy with a tote or old-school with a backpack; or are you more of a messenger? Well whatever your style is, I have a few suggestions below.
