MISSION: New Wardrobe for $100

My younger sister, Juliana, has spent the past semester in China with a limited wardrobe. (After all, it had to fit in suitcases to go over there.) Some 7+ months of Chinese smog, travel on crowded mass transit, and frequent use has destroyed her wardrobe, and her baggage allowance on her flights home is practically nil. Therefore, she's tossing pretty much her whole China wardrobe, and is in need of a whole new one for the upcoming school year, her last in grad school.

Her basic requirements are as follows:

• All the pieces should work together — "I'm tired of not being able to figure out what matches what."
• Basic color scheme of black, white/cream, gray, and dark purple
• Total expense of approximately $100

The items she'd like to have in her new wardrobe:

• 2 tank tops — preferably scoop necks with thick straps, not spaghetti straps
• 1 or 2 basic short sleeve T-shirts
• 1 or 2 basic elbow-length or long-sleeve T-shirts
• 2 sweaters — "simple casual knit-type"
• 1 pair of "nice-ish" mid-thigh or knee-length shorts
• 1 or 2 pairs of coordinating flip-flops, not white

It's a tall order, but I think I can manage it. I wouldn't be known as my family's personal shopper if I couldn't!
