Petite Fashion Challenge #17: Candy Colourized

Yay I'm excited after my slacking to participate in this month's Petite Fashion Challenge! You'll notice I "Canadianized" the title swapping "colorized" for "colourized" :P.


This month's challenge is a really creative one and it's being hosted by the ever lovely Sew Petite Gal.
The Challenge: Candy Colorized
Take a bowl full of colorful candies (M&Ms, Jolly Ranchers, jelly beans, etc.), close your eyes, and draw 2-3 pieces.  Now use those colors (+ a neutral of your choosing) to form the basis for your ensemble.
**Extra brownie points if you post more than 1 colorful ensemble or if you add a DIY element (because I love DIYs so much!) :D**

I love this idea! But I have to admit I cheated...I actually don't eat candy that often and all the candy I like my husband hates LOL! So I thought about what my favorite candies were and at the moment they are mini eggs, jelly bellies and fruit mentos!

Here we go with the cheating - I picked two colours - yellow and pink to be my colours for this challenge. And my neutral is white (finally got white jeans woohoo!)

The shoes are actually more vibrant in real life. I love them they're so comfortable! Please don't mind my overall messiness - I'm quite frazzled most days lately :P And yes you see we have no floors. This summer is all about the renovations.
