When it comes to what draws her to vintage items, Carly says the “craft and quality” was much better back then than it is today.
She explains, “I love that things used to be made for a purpose and they were made with love.
“And they have the same love and feeling today. So when I see things in my household, I can imagine almost all the memories that were made with them back in the day.”
The blonde started wearing vintage clothes two years ago and has since built a loyal following on social media with fans giving her a thumbs up.
