With Spring Comes Brighter Patterns

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Oswego chapter.

Spring is here!! Kind of. Now and then Oswego’s lake is illuminated with sunshine and colors begin to appear around campus. If you haven’t been living under a rock, then you have probobly taken notice of the brighter, and more unique style backpacks, and purses, girls are carrying. There’s no doubt that these backpacks/purses and other Vera accessories are more than just book holders. Vera Bradley began with just a basic backpack, than branched into creating lager ones with a pocket, which will fit a laptop perfectly.

Each season brings about new pattern to choose from. It doesn’t matter if you prefer a small tote, large backpack, mini backpack, or purse for campus living, Vera Bradley has it all! Not to mention a unique style to match any girl’s personality. Visit their website or ask the next girl you see with a Vera Bradley bag what theme she is rocking!  http://www.verabradley.com/
