thx alot in advance..

If you're in NY Uniqlo has/had one just like that for $30 and the quality was very nice.

No i live about 15 mins outside of ATL.. i wish we had a Uniqlo down here in GA

i have one from H&M that cost me like $15. but it was from 2 seasons ago.

my friends call me 'picnic cloth' though everytime i wear it.

I am liking these new Pointers, I think it is the color combo that makes this one attractive, especially the first one.

Like around $200..don't know if I can even get a good bag for that price..I've seen some nice bags for non-high end brands go for upwards of $600 right now

Im glad those grey sperrys are coming back out. I was too late on them last year, ended up getting the blue.

For book bag, I am assuming you mean messenger bag so I'd go with that. 
For $200, Jack Spade is your friend. I had a very nice canvas messenger back from Jack Spade and that thing is durable and great.

I got it for around $110-$125 iirc.

For a little bit more, you can get an Ernest Alexander bag. Price has increased since a year ago but they make beautiful bags.

Filson is also a good option.

If you don't mind cordoruy, JCrew has a nice blue one for $98 (retail $14. Their Ludlow fit is their trimmer fit.

For $50 more, you could get the Legacy blazer, also in Ludlow fit for $295.

I was actually looking for back packs but I think messenger bags may have that more professional look. I'm finally going to be taking nursing classes this semester(lpn).  How do you like this bag...I like the way it looks

 

[rfx45]

That backpack isn't bad. Get it if you like it, Filsons quality is pretty good.

200 for a messenger bag? you could/should get 2-4 messenger bags for that price.

Is there a difference between "slacks" with or without a crease, or does that difference not even exist?

when i think of slacks i'm usually thinking more cotton based slacks.  you can buy creased slacks (usually pleated) but i think they look ridiculous if you're not working in the Financial realm.  grey is a versatile color so you're on the right track.  i would buy a pair of grey dress slacks simply because you can dress them up with a shirt and tie or dress them down with a polo/v-neck and some canvas sneaks in the Spring/Summer.  kill 2 birds with one stone.  you can buy flat front dress slacks with or w/o the crease or with pleats (if you want).  most will come creases b/c they are indeed, dress slacks.

Very nice. It doesn't look like the typical wool though, it looks thicker and without the slight sheen most wool has. 
It looks almost cotton like, is it unlined?

Yeah - unlined, and almost 0 padding. You are talking about the navy jacket i wore today right?
