petite fashion challenge #17: candy colourized

this month's petite fashion challenge is hosted by one of my favourite bloggers, sewpetitegal (see here for list of all participants)

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**



because i'm an over-achieving geek, i had to try to get the brownie points. i got my favourite sour skittles (mostly because i wanted to eat the candy after... lol). i drew orange, yellow and purple. i confess trying to use my yellow blythe but then i got it dirty when i was putting it on *facepalm* left to my own devices, i used the t & j lemondrop twice. (hope i can still get brownie points. #i.am.a.dork.)

outfit #1 - diane von furstenberg bairly louche blouse, koto skirt; lemondrop necklace here get 15% off with code PHIPHI, christian louboutin nude yoyo




outfit #2 - diane von furstenberg cahil blouse; gap boyfriend jeans, here; lemondrop necklace, here (get 15% off with code PHIPHI); christian louboutin very prive

  11. Kudos to my fellow-overachiever! <3
    I went a little crazy with this challenge, thinking we were to chose 3-4 candies, I chose 4 AND added a neutral.

    Please check out my entry and leave me your thoughts on it!

  20. I saw your three colors and thought, "HEY those are Charlie Brown colors!" lol. Both outfits are so chic and fun, and in no way resemble Charlie Brown at all. So please ignore me, it's been a long day :)
