Let’s rewind for a second. Karlee is in kindergarten sporting her brand new maroon velvet mock neck tee. She sits down for lunch at the cafeteria, opens her chocolate milk to take a sip and splash— That’s when it happens. Chocolate milk spilled all over her new kindergarten-approved top that she loved so much. She was heartbroken. “I never forgot that day”, she remembers. “It was when I realized that I love clothes.”
Growing up, Karlee shopped at a lot of second hand stores. “I remember getting so excited to go to Kid-To-Kid”. She remembers scouring through racks and racks of clothes until she found something that she liked. She looks back and recalls those first shopping experiences with her mother, “I think it was really annoying for my mom. I really think I drove her nuts. I took way to long to choose something.” She says that she’s always been particular about what she wears."
