Besides the last few days, the past couple of weeks were unusually warm for late January. Many DePaul students shed their long layers and opted for their not-so-heavy-duty springtime clothes instead.

No matter the season or weather, vintage and thrifted clothes seem to be highly popular among students. Belmont Army, The Brown Elephant in Andersonville and Knee Deep Vintage in Pilsen are all great places to get more fashion bang for your buck.
