This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at VCU chapter.
Sometimes it can feel as if we keep our worlds in our purse. Our wallet holds our money and IDs, our keys give us access to our car and home, makeup keeps us looking fresh throughout the day, and our phone holds most (if not all) of our information. Even if we take it for granted, our purses are a portable peek into the world in which we live.
So what do collegiettes like you keep in their purse? I summoned some confidence, grabbed my camera, and took a stroll on campus to ask girls what type of purse they’re wearing, and what they keep in it!
