Colouring the Right Way, A Color Blocking Lesson by Oluwadolapo SleekTouchHair and Accessories

COLOUR BLOCKING :

                                      FAD OR TRADITION??


Colour blocking can be quite confusing and people do get it wrong most times. It is done either by complementing colours or mixing analogous colours.  Below are charts that show how colours are well complemented together as well as how neighbouring colours work together. 

          
               OPPOSITE and COMPLEMENTARY COLORS
 



Opposite colours are diagonally opposite one another on the colour wheel.
You can work out the opposite colour to any primary colour by taking the other two primaries and mixing them together. The result will be its opposite or ‘complementary’ colour.
                                         
                                           ANALOGOUS COLOURS


Analogous colours sit next to one another on the colour wheel. These colours are in harmony with one another.
There is also what is called monochromatic colour blocking which is pairing same colours but in different shades such as dark blue and light blue.
People just put colours together but if you want to indulge in colour blocking without putting too much mix and match, try avoiding colour theory each time you put an outfit together.  What to do is look for pieces that have already done the work for you, like your dresses, skirts, colourful tops and complete with simple accessories to give that dramatic look.




Here are pictures that show what colour blocking is.

ARE THE LADIES CHOICELESS ?



WOMEN AND CHOICES      by                -OlumideJUNE


Choice is the term ladies now use as excuse for not doing some things or for doing others. For example you hear a lady say I am waiting for the right man so I can make the right choice. Another will say, this is the best choice I have come up with. Others will say God has given us the ability to make the right choice when deciding on the man to marry.  I quite agree with them all but this brought me to the question of what if there is no option to choose from.

From the little I know, I am aware that choices are made when there are several options, and choices are made based on excesses but in a situation whereby everyone is fighting to have a grab, you wouldn’t want to be waiting to make a choice all you will be doing is also to have a grab and then later assess it if that was a good choice you made.  Or what do we say of a lady who has never been asked out by a guy, are we going to say she has a choice and she is yet to make it? Or what do we say of a lady who gets dumped by every guy after dating her for few weeks, are we going to say she hasn’t made a choice of which of them to marry?

So please let us redefine that word choice in the ladies dictionary, because that word has misled and is still misleading some people instead of them thinking of ways in order to be able to have options, they are still thinking they have a choice to make when there are no options. Please let us wake up to the reality of life. God said he has given us the privilege to make choices but he didn’t say we will have that privilege by doing nothing. Even for a Lottery winner who happens to be one of the people that does the least things to make the biggest amount of money they still have to do something by picking numbers so why do ladies decide to confuse themselves or should I say hide under the disguise of (capacity or incapacity) choices so as not to do anything and yet expect something to happen. And for those that  believe in God’s miracle, miracles happen, but you still need to do something, you need to have faith, you need to pray, and you also need to expect and welcome the miracle.

I used to have a friend though now married, she was always up to her game. Her slogan was “I have to always be appealing to people both men and women so that when the time comes for me to make my choice I will not be limited. I will actually have varieties, and the power to  pick from them my one and only”. And she gave her reason for being appealing to women as “I will not like to underestimate the channel through which he will come, the woman might be the one to recommend me to him”. That is the true definition of choice. Creating the options and picking the best. Nowadays if you want to know the true colour of the lady beside you, ask one of her roommates back in school, and you might be lucky to ask the one that does not like her who wouldn’t mince words in describing her.  In recent times, some ladies have this dirty, local and messy lifestyle in their closet that is not appealing to the public and then they have these stunning look on the outside and then men fall into such traps. I remember a day I went visiting a friend and I was so unlucky to find my head near the bed edge where she hangs her boxers, the smell coming out of that zone………don’t let me describe it. Don’t just limit the creation of options to men alone; let your fellow women know that you are good to go so that when they are asked to assess you they wouldn’t fail you before you even submit your scripts.

Life is not so smooth that we will lay low and wake up someday and have a lot to pick from. If it was so easy to make choices will the wife of the conductor or carpenter be with them? Or will the wife of the cheating guy be with him? The answer is NO. They will probably be with Bill Gate or Aliko Dangote or probably the holy ones with Pastor Adeboye or Bishop Oyedepo.
Ladies I luv you and don’t think I am being harsh on you, it is not like that, just that the more single ladies are out there the more temptations exists to the general public (LOL) ,so I need you ladies to step up your game and get those guys hooked.

 PostNOTE by IfeBamidele 


I got this troublesome brother of mine to get this in for you this week, I am so sure you have opinions about this. I also do but will not talk until y'all talk. I think women should actually become choosers, how i do not know, but if you can gravitate to where what you want is, the higher your chances, a fisherman must have nets, and a bait. OlumideJUNE said get those guys hooked. The only way to do that is to be at the right place at the right time doing the right thing and maybe being proactive. Note i didnt say the last phrase before you say Ife said you should ask a guy out. My mouth is shhhhhuuuusshhed already. Drop your comments and lets get talking.
