Back-to-school style: 9 fashionable backpacks for women

August 25, 2015

Back to school style: 9 Backpacks for women that are perfect for work and play | A Girl Named PJ

My sister, who lives and works in New York City, is a big fan of backpacks for women. Here’s why: Wearing a backpack is more comfortable than carrying an overstuffed tote on one shoulder, especially during her commute from Washington Heights to midtown.

A backpack also allow her to move more freely when she’s at the playground with my nephew. She now uses an Everlane snap backpack as her diaper bag, which is convenient for my brother-in-law because its unisex design means he can carry it too.

I'm loving simple modern backpacks for women

Working from home means I don’t need a backpack for my commute (except to Starbucks, perhaps), but I’m considering switching to one for my everyday items. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still totally obsessed with my MZ Wallace diaper bag, but now that Asa is finally walking, I need a bag that will move with me as I’m chasing him around town.

Plus, there’s always something about back-to-school season that makes me want to start carrying a backpack. So I looked around and found a whole bunch of fashionable backpacks for women. Whatever your style, whether sporty or trendy, I’ll bet there’s a backpack for you.

How do you feel about grown-up backpacks? Would you carry one?

    I’ve been wearing a backpack since my toddler was born…Tomboy chic (nothing wrong with looking like you’re going hiking!) and I don’t get backache. So surprised that there aren’t more specific diaper backpacks on the market. Gap in the market?

    I love backpacks for travel and almost never carry a suitcase. Since I usually carry a big purse, I’m a fan of being able to switch over to a backpack when my back gets bad. So much better for you than hefting a massive shoulder bag!

Day 12 | No photos from today (well none worth sharing) because I sat in front of my laptop from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. working on deadline. My busy work day also meant that my kids didnt get very much of my attention. My husband kept them occupied for some of the day but I dont think they got any schoolwork done. Oh well we all deserve a lazy day every once in a while. I know I do! | So whats this photo? Just some of the amazing birthday presents I received from my friends this weekend! (Dont worrDay 11 | Emotions have been running high the past two days and everyone has a short fuse. Asa had a full-on temper tantrum because he didnt want to color his drawing of a rainbow and nearly lost his cool while practicing Typing Club. I wish I could do more educational activities with them like taking alphabet walks and tallying up different items around the house but Im totally overwhelmed with a huge deadline this week. In fact I had to keep working after the kids went to bed and now its nearlyC-Quarantine Day 8 | Ive felt anxious many days this past week but today was the first day I had the blues. Not sad about anything specific. Just ... sad. Cabin fever? Exhaustion? We decided to get out of the house to look at the cherry blossoms in Bethesda. The Kenwood neighborhood was quiet so we parked and walked down a side street keeping our distance from the few other people out and about. But with cars parked on one side of the road and moving cars to trying to pass them & the pedestriansOn the first day of #socialdistancing my true love made for me Nutella-filled croissantsyummy!  On the second day of social distancing my true love made for me banana muffins with a crumb topping.  On the third day... Nope. Tomorrow we work from home/homeschool our kids so its cereal for everyone!  #onedaycv #covidquarantine
