FASHION THIS DAY AND AGE:


I love fashion, but I never follow the trend. When it comes to fashion I just want to be comfortable in whatever I wear or accessorize myself in. I don’t do some outrageously bright colours and I won’t were some ridiculously tight clothes. The good thing about being a fashion lover is that I am not a sucker for trending. I make sure that my baby, my man and my humble self stand out whenever we go out or have need to be seen.

I will like to define fashion as a circle (360 degrees). It starts from a point and returns to that point after a couple of seasons it could be altered along the line but you can always tell. Don’t get me wrong, it is good to follow trends, but bear in mind that it is an expensive venture.  Lets talk about colour blocking;

COLOUR BLOCKING:
















This means wearing blocks of colour. . This is what we do naturally when we get dressed, but the trend of this age is an exaggerated version of what we do normally. To have the colour blocking look that we desire, we need to go for bright and bold colours. There are definitely some rules to follow when getting dressed:
Stick to 2 or 3 colours maximum. Anything more than can lead to the “war of colours”. It is advisable to have a colour wheel handy so that blending your block of bright and bold colours will be easy and turn out lovely. You can learn how to use the wheel here.

 Make it loud, let the colours shout out, but please don’t overdo it, lest you look like an over decorated Christmas tree.

Keep it simple. It always looks better when neutral colours are used  to accessorize.

It is very easy to say all this about dressing, but before i leave this untouched, i will like to add that when you are putting your block of colours together, always remember your skin tone. 
Enjoy your weekend
