Mint + Metallic

 Sweater - Ann Taylor (old, love this sweater here) // Skirt - Zara (old, similar) // Purse - J.Crew (like this updated version!) // Heels - J.Crew // Shades - Ray-ban

Fashion websites are forecasting pastels, florals, and metallics to be on trend this spring, so naturally I had to figure out a way to rock them all at the same time. Go big or go home, right? :)

We're still waiting for spring weather here in The Mitten, as you can see by the snow and brownness in my pics, blah. I guess wearing spring colors and florals will have to do for now until the flowers bloom and everything gets pretty again!

Wow, it's been a long time since I've last updated Running on Coffee! 

My blog went into hibernation once winter hit, but now it is having a spring awakening! And what better way to kick off its revival than with some pretty spring colors :) 

This spring I am feeling all things pink, pastel, and girly! It is still cold and snowy in Michigan so it might be a while before I can pull off some of these pieces (aka open toed shoes), but every degree the temperature rises the more excited I get to work them into my wardrobe. Which judging by the winter we're having may not be until June! ;)

TGIF! It's good to be back :)

Sea of Blues {In my Happy Place}

 Jacket - Tory Burch // Sweater - Ann Taylor (similar) // Shirt - J.Crew (on sale!) // Pants - J.Crew Factory (on sale for 50% off!) // Shoes - Sperry // Purse - Dooney & Bourke (want this bag!) // Shades - Ray-Ban

I've been home for less than 24 hours and am already daydreaming of being Up North again. Caribbean blue water, the best chocolate chip cookies in the world, Roast & Toast coffee, and laughing until you cry playing games with the family. Yep, I need to go back ASAP.

Hope everyone had a fantastic Memorial Weekend!

One Piece, Two Ways: Mint Green Jacket

Jacket - Joie

Outfit on Left: Dress - Madewell // Wallet - Rebecca Minkoff // Bracelet - Michael Kors // Shoes - L.A.M.B.

Outfit on Right: Peplum - DKNY // Jeans - Current/Elliott // Purse - Rebecca Minkoff // Ankle booties - Sam Edelman // Necklace - Baublebar (sold out, similar here)

In light of the spring season and recent monochromatic trend, I put together these two outfits to show how you can incorporate the trend in a more conservative manner.

The Joie jacket pictured above and that I'm currently obsessing over makes for a great day-to-night transitional piece due to its silk material, being light enough for the day but enough at night when the air gets a little chilly. Plus that mint green color is to die for!

What do you think of the monochromatic trend?

 Are you all for it and rocking the trend in full out one color all over, or are you more subdued and using it more as an accent to your look?
