While not all of us are stocking up on our pens, pencils and notebooks for the upcoming school year, fashionistas of all ages can still take advantage of back-to-school deals.

Since retailers know that “back to school” shopping equals consumer spending, they offer a plethora of deals in August and part of September to entice customers (a.k.a you) to spend the allocated budget on their products.

One the best ways to take advantage of these price dips is by stocking up on the key wardrobe item for the upcoming season: the coat.   Work with these price dips and proactively stock up on your fall and winter jacket & coat now while all the sizes are still in stock.  Then, pat yourself on the back for checking “a warm coat” off your list early, getting the best price, and having the freedom to choose from an abundance of styles and sizes.

A warning: act quick, these prices will return to the original prices as soon as back-to-school madness quiets down.Get Your Fall Coat & Jacket Now and Save on the Newest StylesThis Long Sleeve Military Flared Jacket by Laundry, on sale for $255 (from $340), incorporates fall’s military inspired and 50s trends in one statement-making jacket.Get Your Fall Coat & Jacket Now and Save on the Newest StylesSimply exquisite, this DKNY Danielle Ruffled JacketGet Your Fall Coat & Jacket Now and Save on the Newest Styles, on sale for $ 285 (from $380),  is sure to make head turns in an all white silhouette and delicately ruffled neckline.Get Your Fall Coat & Jacket Now and Save on the Newest StylesSwingy and chic, this belted Asymmetrical Kenneth Cole Reaction CoatGet Your Fall Coat & Jacket Now and Save on the Newest Styles, on sale for $210 (from $280),  is both fun and stylish for the cool days ahead.

Haul Your Books In Style With A New Messenger Bag

School may be starting, but believe it or not, there is a way to make that first disheartening hike to class a little more enjoyable — a new messenger bag for all your school loot! Kick that nerdy backpack to the curb and opt for one of this season’s most stylish messengers to stow all your books, electronics, and other study must-haves on the go.

Of course, messenger bags aren’t just for students, so if you’re in the market for a new bag to tow your laptop or other work necessities, look no further! I love the edginess of this corset-inspired bag with lace-up details, courtesy of Kettle Black, but if you were hoping for something with a preppier vibe, this houndstooth patterned bag from Juicy Couture has “giddy schoolgirl” written all over it.

Ikat prints are still totally in, so I’m loving the tribal flair of this bag from Urban Outfitters, which is colorful without looking garish. For a more splurge-worthy staple, you might want to opt for a messenger with a more classic look that’ll still be stylish for years to come, like this buckled snake-embossed messenger by CC Skye, or this practical one from Banana Republic!
