| - Believe it or not, after living in Cleveland Heights for over a year and walking past this boutique every day, I've never actually been inside.
Now that I live in Ohio City, I really wish that I would've ventured over to Brigade. I mean, at that time I wouldn't have been able to afford anything, but I know how much I would have liked looking around. What an amazing selection of independent brands of womens and mens clothing.
I stopped by Brigade on a very snowy afternoon, stomped outside so not to track inside and tried to look as chic as I could with a bajillion layers on. (Note: this is impossible... I looked like a drowned, lumpy rat.)
Anyways, as I walked in I noticed that I immediately wanted everything. Wow. Although the "industrial look" isn't always really my style, I could have definitely worked some of these amazing pieces into my life. I especially loved the jewelry and accessories.
Yes, it's pricey. It's a boutique though, people! I could definitely see this as one of those places I would go to treat myself to an "investment piece". Just FYI - this is how us ladies justify spending lots of dollars on something we really want. We just call it an investment.
I didn't get to purchase anything while I was there, but I'm sure when I go back (and it will be sooner than later) they'll be getting a 5th star from this lady. The staff is super helpful and very friendly as well. I can't wait to spend a little more time checking everything out and putting a little dent into my bank account.
I'm sure I'll also get a parking ticket from those pesky Cleveland Heights cops too... Sigh
