Splurge/Spend/Save: Backpacks

With my little lady going to "school" (a one-day per week mom's day out program)

for the first time this fall,

I have been on the search for a cute but functional backpack for her!

I figured it was time for another installment in my Splurge/Spend/Save series, 

so what better to feature than backpacks?!

Here are three of my current faves for my little cutie:

1. Splurge ($59.50): JCrew Tulle Backpack

Like seriously?! How stinkin' amazing are those ruffles?! Fancy but functional, this JCrew bag is my fave if you're willing to spend a few extra bucks!

2. Spend ($24.50): Pottery Barn Kids Fairfax Backpack 

This is actually what we decided to purchase for our little E. I love that they have a Pre-K size which is perfect for my two-year old (although the thought of her with a giant backpack weighed down to the floor is adorable!) I love how this bag has several pockets and clips to attach a lunch bag on to the front. I did get a great deal on this bag plus free shipping during a recent promo!

3. Save ($19.94- Sale for $15.00): Old Navy Patterned Backpack

I was SHOCKED at how many cute bags I found at Old Navy! Neons, florals, aztec prints.... and my favorite of course- CHEETAH! These are at a crazy good price point and you could probably even get this for even cheaper with some of the great back-to-school coupons and extra savings going on. They even have matching lunch bags for $5!

What backpacks do you mamas love for your littles?

Xoxo,
