Spring Style Refresh with Curated Threads
Spring is the perfect time to breathe new life into your wardrobe, and Courtney Russell and Whitney McMeekin, the style experts behind Curated Threads in Greenville, are here to help. With a passion for fashion and a deep understanding of how personal style impacts confidence, they are on a mission to make getting dressed effortless and empowering.
“When you look good, you feel good—no matter who you are.”
A Personalized Approach to Style
At Curated Threads, fashion isn’t just about what’s trending—it’s about finding what makes you feel your best. That’s why their process starts with a free in-home consultation, where they take the time to step into their clients’ worlds.
“We explore their wardrobe, ask them to share their go-to outfits, and discuss the pieces that make them feel their absolute best,” says Whitney. “But it’s not just about clothes—we take a holistic approach, learning about their daily routines, personal preferences, and lifestyle.”
Their goal? To honor each client’s personal style while gently encouraging them to try new things—whether it’s a fresh color palette, a more flattering silhouette, or a trendy statement piece.
Decluttering for a Fresh Start
Many women struggle with the feeling of having “nothing to wear” despite a closet full of clothes. “It’s tough to get dressed when your closet is cluttered with too many pieces that no longer serve you,” says Courtney.
To help clients purge their wardrobes, they ask key questions:
• Did it have a good run?
• Does it still fit?
• Is this piece out of style?
• Is it in good condition (holes, stains)?
• Do you ever actually wear it?
“You wouldn’t believe how much easier it is to get dressed when your closet isn’t overflowing with clothes you don’t love,” says Whitney. “Purging creates space for pieces that truly make you feel amazing every day.”
Spring Must-Haves
Courtney and Whitney recommend these three wardrobe essentials for spring:
1. 70’s Style Wide-Leg Denim (Light Wash or White) – “We’ve purchased these for so many clients because they’re trendy, comfortable, and flattering.”
2. Platform Sandals – “For those of us who need a little lift but don’t want to wear a traditional heel, a platform sandal is the perfect option. Dress them up or down, and enjoy the added height without sacrificing comfort.”
3. A Versatile Spring Dress – “Every woman needs a flowy dress that can be dressed up or down—whether solid, polka dot, or floral, a great spring dress is a must.”
Classic Staples for Every Wardrobe
If you’re looking for timeless pieces that work year-round, Courtney and Whitney suggest:
• A Classic White T-Shirt – “Your BFF! You can wear it with a skirt, jeans, pants, or shorts.”
• A Bright Trench Coat – “A classic trench never goes out of style, but taking it up a notch with a fun spring color makes it even better.”
• Flowy Linen Pants – “Pair them with a fitted tank and flip-flops for a casual look, or dress them up with a wedge sandal.”
Helping Women Feel Confident
For Courtney and Whitney, Curated Threads is about more than just fashion—it’s about helping women feel confident in their bodies and their wardrobes.
“As women, we juggle so many roles, and it’s easy to put ourselves last,” says Whitney. “Over time, personal style can take a backseat while we focus on everything—and everyone—else. That’s where we come in.”
They believe that when a woman finds clothes that fit well and flatter her, it’s a total game-changer. “When you feel good in what you wear, it has a positive impact on every aspect of your life.”
Their Perfect Partnership
The magic behind Curated Threads comes from the dynamic partnership between Courtney and Whitney. “When we met, our connection was so natural—it felt like we had known each other forever,” says Courtney.
Despite having different personal styles, they balance each other perfectly, bringing fresh perspectives to their clients. They also share something else in common—both are busy moms with young kids, which means they understand the importance of style that fits real life.
“We work hard, but we also like to have fun, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.”
