So obviously an awesome backpack is a must for heading back to school. After all, its going to be prominently on display every day for the next ten months. It's your largest and most important accessory, so make it count! For example, how about a retro X-Men collage backpack from Hot Topic? Yes. Yes, I think so.
While it's been oddly hot for September (not a complaint, just an observation) I'm feeling that classic back to school fall fashion. You know what I'm talking about. Layers, booties, plaid, and beanies. I'm all about that life. Make it work, with lighter layers, even in a random fall heatwave.
