Hundreds of closets, one pop-up

I’m in the midst of a wardrobe refresh ahead of spring festival season (think: Southern Roots, euphoria Spring Fest, and Artisphere). I’m so glad I found the Statem!nt consignment sale happening right now at Events at Judson Mill.

This pop-up consignment shop gives you the opportunity to shop hundreds of closets for 50-80% off retail.

I found a Tuckernuck dress (new with tags), a pair of Sam Edelman sandals (that look brand new), and a few other miscellaneous pieces ranging from $6 to $30.

Shop today and tomorrow from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Post of the Day

You know I love to daydream over here, and someone recently shared an Instagram account with me that’s doing just that. Greenville Threads is “unraveling the urban fabric in Greenville,” and it caught my attention by reimagining nooks and crannies in our city.

It reminded me of Freak Alley on my trip to Boise with Greenville leaders last fall — an ever-changing gallery for artists, tucked behind restaurants and businesses.
