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.
