Transcript

I think I've officially aged out of Brandy Melville. So naturally I had to check out Brandy's cooler older sister, St. George, while I was in Chicago. Since this is also one of their very limited locations. Let's start with the fact that this store has no sign other than this piece of paper in the windows. I guess you could call it effortless? Main differences between St. George and Brandy was that St. George was more organized and less chaotic, more refined style wise, but still really great quality. I don't think I'm ready to call it quits on Brandy just yet, but I do think I'm going to love my St. George era.
