Ep #137 Melanie Jarrell of the Salvation Army Women's Auxiliary Chic Boutique
Step into the world of Chic Boutique, where fashion meets philanthropy in the most stylish way! In this episode, we sit down with Melanie Jarrell, Chic Boutique Gold Chair for the Salvation Army Women’s Auxiliary "Reflections on Style" event, to discuss the upcoming pop-up shopping experience that’s truly one of Houston’s best-kept secrets.
📍 Chic Boutique Details:
🛍 Location: 3403 Richmond Ave
✨ Opening Night: Wednesday, April 9 | 3PM–7PM ($20 donation at the door – arrive early, lines around the block are legendary!)
🛒 Shop the Chic Boutique: April 10–12 | 10AM–5PM
Chic Boutique isn’t just another resale shop—it’s a curated shopping experience where Houston’s most fabulous closets donate their treasures to create a fashion lover’s dream at unbeatable prices. Volunteers (in their iconic red aprons!) meticulously organize, style, and create a boutique-like setting that feels luxurious, exclusive, and community-driven.
Every piece sold carries a story—not just from the stylish donor but also through scripture-adorned tags, reminding us of the greater mission behind the event. This is more than shopping; it’s fashion with a purpose.
At the heart of it all, we’re raising funds for critical Houston-area programs through the Salvation Army. Toward the end of the episode, Major Carolynn joins us to share the profound impact this event has—providing housing for families, rehabilitation for veterans, summer camps for kids, support for human trafficking survivors, and so much more.
