Whether I want to face it or not, school is back in less than two weeks. Summer days where I don’t have to worry about tests, projects or presentations the next day are over and it’s time to get ready for my last year at the University of Miami (go Canes!).

One of the things I love the most about going back to school is getting supplies, which also includes a new bag! Since the colors for UM are orange and green, what better way to sport some school spirit in style than with this bag from Kipling? I absolutely LOVE it! I used to wear Kipling bags all of the time in high school so when I saw this modern take on a school bag, I had to get it. I love how the lining inside is nylon so if I spill something I can easily clean it up. Because, let’s get serious, I’m always spilling something. I also love how it has two handles – one short and one long. I chose to use the longer handles to make it a shoulder bag but you can also hold it with your hand from the shorter handles (they’re hidden inside the bag!).

Another thing I love about this bag is how spacious it is. During the school year, I throw everything, and I mean everything, into my bag. Agenda, laptop, notebook, pencil case, phone, food… yup. I’m like Mary Poppins. I’m convinced that’s why they make bags like this! Haha. You can see the inside of the bag here for yourself.

For my outfit, I wanted to wear something that I would wear to go to school. I always go for shorts and these are perfect. They’re not short shorts and they’re super comfortable for sitting in long classes, walking through campus and attending events. And this tee? The best thing ever! I got it in three colors because the price is great and it’s so comfortable. I do recommend that you size up one, though. This will definitely be my school uniform this fall!

How do you dress up for school and are you a big tote user like me? I would love to hear! Definitely look at the Kipling site for some great totes for school and everyday life.
