Once you graduate high school and college, there are only a few instances in a woman’s style life when backpacks seem appropriate. Having never let go of loving the backpack (hello, full use of both arms), I am really excited to see that backpacks might be the new It back for spring. There are tons of styles to choose from for spring ’13, ranging from sporty varieties, like Vans, Victoria’s Secret and Kipling, to more fashion-focused like Chanel. Click through the gallery to see some of my favorites, and join me on the backpack bandwagon.
