The Things They Carried

Spring has finally sprung, and it is more than obvious on this college campus! I’m sure most of you have noticed the recently planted “DePauw” tulips adorning almost every street corner and have no doubt just returned from an Easter egg filled weekend. Whatever you’ve been up to, I would bet you’ve encountered some bright, fun spring colors! With warm weather coming our way, most DPU girls are trading out their sweaters and North Face jackets for some lighter and brighter pieces that are sure to spread the sunshine into even the gloomiest cubicle in Roy O.Whether you’re sporting a backpack, purse, tote, or satchel don’t forget about your necessity-carrier while taking part in this seasonal swap. Bags are a perfect way to add that special something to any outfit. This spring’s trends include pastels, unique textures, and lots of embellishments! Your next dilemma will probably be “How will I ever chose just one carrying companion?!”. Well no need to fret my friends, I have come up with some different ideas for what to carry to class, the frats, and anywhere else you decide to venture with a new found “spring” in your step!

This cute tote is perfect for the DePauw student. Make a statement on your way to class with bold patterns like the stripes shown above, while also having plenty of room to bring along your books!

Tangerines and corals are everywhere this season! Why not sport them with your favorite “fratchel” when you go out this weekend?

You can’t go wrong with a neutral classic that will match any spring color you choose.

This unique cross-body brings spring flowers right into the pattern while still having a bohemian and tribal feel to it!
