Julia, I just bought this bag at NY & Co:

Yeah, it's pretty plain, but it will do the job for school, I think and be more stylish than my current backpack. At $33.00 I don't have to worry about it getting totally ruined either. I know the one I bought is too big for your needs, but most of their bags seemed to come in white, so I thought you might at least check them out. Most of them are under $50.00.

Good find Ana! I never thought about looking for bags at NY&Co. I'm going to the mall tomorrow to check them out. Thanks for the info.

Ana, I went to NY&Co today, they have several cute white bags. I didn't buy any 'cause I was looking for something soft and roomy.

I found it at TJ Maxx next door. It's bigger than I wanted but it holds all the stuff I'll need to carry. It's a Sisley designer bag, cost $39.99.

Since it's soft it doesn't look as big as it is. I'm happy with it.

That bag is great Julia! TJ Maxx was one of my stops on a search for a bag, but they didn't have anything nearly as cute as that one (that didn't cost over $100). Good find! Thanks for the update.

Very cute bag Julia! Nice find!
