OUTFITS: Juliana’s New Wardrobe Possibilities

My sister Juliana recently asked me to help her create a new coordinated wardrobe. I know that one of her problems has been finding pieces that she can mix & match without having to worry about if they clash. As an architecture student, her pieces need to be able to transition from class to studio to presentations to fun with minimal effort. To demonstrate just a few ways the 36 new pieces I picked up for her can be mixed, I threw together 3 no-fuss outfits.

The Outfits

Outfit 1

Tank, dress, sweater, & sandals

Outfit 2

Shorts, tank, sweater, & sandals

Outfit 3

Khakis & tee


Outfit #1 came in at $32.00: $6.49 for the tank top and $13.49 for the dress, both from Old Navy, and $7.00 for the sweater and $5.00 for the sandals, both from TJMaxx.

Outfit #2 totaled $37.00: $10.00 for the sweater, $10.00 for the tank top, $12.00 for the shorts, and $5.00 for the sandals, all from TJMaxx.

Outfit #3 was just $19.00: $7.00 for the T-shirt and $12.00 for the shorts, both from Marshalls.

HAUL: Juliana’s Wardrobe Possibilities

My sister Juliana recently asked me to help her get pretty much a whole new, coordinated wardrobe. (Read the details of the mission here.) She set me a budget of $100, but I know she likes to be able to pick from choices, plus it's hard to know exactly what will work for another person, so I went over budget, knowing that many items would be returned.

All in all, I spent just around $300 for 36 items, providing a plethora of wardrobe options.
