Just my 2 cents but carrying most backpacks is not very fashionable. People use backpacks mostly out of necessity because it is large, comfortable to wear and a good size for most anything.

I think the pink accents on it definately grab attention to it. So if you are worried about being fashionable with a backpack I would get something solid colored without any noticable trim. Or get a backpack that is COMPLETELY in fashion. My personal favorites for fun bags right now are the TokiDoki lines from Lesportsac like this

or

Good luck with your decision!

Well, after thinkin about it, I'm not really worried about being fashionable

I've narrowed it down to these:

Yeah this is a diaperbag but I like it

Ok, so I haven't narrowed it down THAT much!

Are you thinking of using a backpack for an everyday purse?
If so, maybe think about getting one of these:

Then it doesn't look so much like your headed off to school!

I just did a search on WalMart and they had a lot of cute bigger tote bags that I think you would look cute w/!

Here are some other ones I found that have just as much room as a backpack- but are a little bit more 'grownup'

Here's where I found them on the Target website- most under $10!

Yeah I am going to use it for everyday. I carry everything but the kitchen sink!

My son had a black one just like that one. The only problem is that the zipper is soooo small it's hard to get anything in and out of it.


This one's not bad

I like that a lot better than the backpack.

Check out these, they are huge but more adult and stylish than a backpack

I am not a fan of the backpack..not matter what it looks like.

Big bags (purses) are what's in, and you can fit everything in them like the kitchen sink
