Complementary colors are probably the most basic way to color block. They involve mixing colors from opposite sides of the color wheel. Audrey from Putting Me Together has a great post on using the color wheel to create a wardrobe. She also links to another great post about color wheel theory by academichic.
The purple and yellow combination I wore almost always makes me think of LSU. However, since I'm no longer living in the south I felt safer wearing this outfit without someone thinking I am a Tiger's fan. Another way to wear this combination would be a with a lilac rather than such a rich purple. Other complementary colors also have strong associations in our lives. They are orange and blue (Go Gators!), red and green (Christmas anyone?).
