Greenville’s Vibrant Nightlife and Fashion Scene
On a lovely Friday evening in Greenville, the city sparkles with energy. Groups of friends and couples roam the streets, some sipping on drinks, while others bask in the beautiful atmosphere. From Camperdown Plaza to Falls Park, the scene is vibrant, filled with laughter and the sounds of chatter. Our curious team took the opportunity to stop some chic locals and discover where they love to shop and what influences their personal styles.
Perry Bolt and Candi Bolt
Perry was spotted in a stylish jumpsuit from Renew Boutique. When asked about her shopping preferences, she shared, “Thrift shops are my favorite place to shop because you can find such unique pieces!” As for her fashion advice, she emphasized the importance of comfort: “Wear whatever makes you feel comfortable. There are no rules; just go with what feels right.”
Candi chimed in with her love for Sam Edelman sneakers from Belk. She proudly stated, “I’m into sneakers now because they are cute, and you can wear them with everything.” When it comes to mixing styles, Candi has a clear philosophy: “Accessories are a way to make anything boring a little bit more fun. You can mix whatever you want, as long as you like it and feel good in it!” Her go-to shops include Copper Penny, Boden online, Hometown Girl Mobile Boutique, and T.J. Maxx.
Kimberly Deal and Austin Deal
This fashionable couple was a sight to behold, with Austin in an ensemble sourced entirely from Nordstrom Rack. His simple tip is straightforward: “Check the weather!” Kimberly added her own nugget of wisdom: “Simple is always better; decorate with jewelry.” It’s clear that they are not just stylish but also practical!
Misty Hardaway and Friends
Misty and her friends, including Margaret Bouton, Liz Cotner, and Lucy Surka, were looking fabulous in dresses from Savvy. Misty mentioned her preference for boutiques, saying, “I prefer a boutique to a chain, and we have so many good ones.” They recommend spots like Twill and Monkee’s for unique finds.
Natalie Whaley and Derek Whaley
This couple celebrated their anniversary with style. Natalie looked radiant in a dress from Vici while managing their busy lives with three kids. “I usually shop online,” Natalie said, embracing convenience. Derek was casually chic in his all lulu outfit, complemented by Cole Haan shoes. Their secret? “Be intentional about your outfit choices!”
Young Fashionistas Kiara Conway and Kendrick Davis
Kiara and Kendrick shared their shopping insights, with Kendrick highlighting his sneaker obsession that steers him towards stores like Foot Locker for Nikes and Jordans. Kiara’s advice was simple yet profound: “Be yourself.” This reminder of authenticity resonates beautifully in the fashion world.
Kent and Beth McKown
This stylish duo was spotted in outfits that boasted individuality. Beth rocked shoes from Free People, while Kent looked sharp in his shoes from Smith & James in Greer. “I really coordinated today, but it wasn’t on purpose,” chuckled Beth, highlighting the natural ease of their style.
Peg Kothari
Peg flaunted a lovely dress from the resale shop, Clothes Mentor, noting that “My daughter loves it, so I went with her and found something!” Her shopping philosophy is all about practicality as she advised dressing for the local heat: “You really have to dress for the hot weather here.”
Yesenia Perkins and Family
Yesenia enjoys shopping at Monkee’s and highlighted her thoughts on accessories: “Big earrings, small necklace, or vice versa. Not both at the same time—one or the other!”
Allison Stewart-Smull and Others
With a casual Friday vibe, Allison shared a laid-back tip, saying, “Today was casual Friday, so the key was nice and comfortable.” Gray Gaines added, “Everything I’m wearing is from Zara online.” Sara Doyle reminisced about shopping at Corbeau in Columbia before it closed, showcasing the ever-shifting landscape of fashion.
