Designer Thursday: Muted Florals by Erdem Autumn Winter 2012/2013

Florals aren't the first pattern that come to mind when one thinks of winter.  But winter shouldn't just be about muted earth tones.  I love the subtle pop of color from the floral prints for Erdem Autumn Winter 2012/2013.  Flowers are in abundance, but can be seen in subtle ways like on the shoulder of a trench coat.  There are also undeniable pops of color and the pairing of a rich cobalt blue with a lemony yellow make any cold day a little brighter.  But the same florals could also easily combine with neutral camels and classic blacks for a more toned down look.  Erdem is definitely on my list with these timeless cuts and lovely prints!
I also think I need some yellow pumps now (I never would have thought about Ivanka Trump shoes before, but the shape and price of these are really tempting)...
