Finally we welcome a new season, a renewal from the dreary, cold, never-ending Winter. We’ve all slogged through, not thinking we could make it, but alas, we have! I think that means we all deserve to treat ourselves. Hopefully you have continued making progress on your goals and intentions this year too! I know I have and I think because of that and the new season, AND the ending of a first year of college, I may just need to treat myself to some materialistic goods. I never do (ever), I just hate spending money, even when I like something, even if I have a gift card!
So maybe if I share some fun Spring finds (and you share some of yours in the comments), I may be inspired to actually make the commitment, that hard decision, and finally buy something 😉 Maybe… So here are some 5 fun things to livin’ up your Spring!
I am so obsessed with rompers and jumpsuits! After the two I bought in November, I have been lusting over so many more! I still don’t own a romper, but totally want to take the plunge with one!
There is nothing not to love with a Spring maxi! I love the solid cherry color of this one. So simple, sexy, and chic!
I adore sunglasses and my beloved aviators have a crack in them. Plus they are super old. I think I may be in need of a new pair 😉
Isn’t this pretty? I love all the colors! A nice little pop to livin’ up a more subtle outfit! I like a little bit of gold too. I actually think I like gold things more than silver.
DROID Turbo Sapphire Blue by Motorola
I don’t know about you, but I’m in need of a new phone. I’ve had my DROID Razr Maxx HD for a few years now and it’s dying..if not dead already. Motorola has a new DRIOD on the market with a 48-hour battery life (which is my #1 want in any phone! I am always looking for the best and longest battery life, which this one has!) This new DROID Turbo has amazing speed, performance, sharp display, a beautiful sleek design and color like no other on the market. It’s also super durable, scratch, and water resistant, all while being smooth to the touch and light weight. I love a big-screened phone and I am a DROID girl (I’ve never had anything different!), so I may just have my eye on this one 😉 It also has all new Moto Voice, Assist, and Display which you can personalize to your needs. I only use my phone for blogging, social media, and the internet, so personalization and function is what I need! (I hate texting…and do not text!)
So tell me:
+ What’s on your radar for this Spring?
+ Rompers, jumpsuits, maxis? Yes to all three! My favorite clothes…besides workout clothes and sweats 😉

Fun finds! Especially love the sunglasses and the bracelet =)
I need some new running gear for the spring – I don’t like shopping or spending money (ha!), but sometimes a girl needs to treat herself. I will definitely be treating myself to a spring manicure soon! My fav spring splurge.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
I’ve gotta do something…..it’s just going to be a tough decision!
Sherry says
The thing about living in Central Florida is that you never really have Spring. But I do remember the feelings of Spring. Thanks for the inspiration. Thanks, too, for linking up and sharing with us at Funtastic Friday. Hope you can make it again this week.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Hey, I’d be fine with that!
Brandi Clevinger says
These are so pretty especially that bracelet! Thanks for sharing your favorites at Inspire Me Mondays!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
It is! Thanks Brandi!
Erlene says
You should totally get a romper and treat yourself with at least one spring item. I just invested in a new pair of sunglasses after my last one got totally warped when I left in the car with 100+ degree weather last year.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Maybe 😉
O my gosh! That’s terrible!
Amaia - You Made My Day says
Like you, I am completely obsessed with rompers and long dresses and I have a few. Lately I have started sewing so I am lucky to be able to create (or at least try to…) my own garments ;-).
I love the products you show here, very spring looking indeed!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
That’s so awesome! I wish I knew how to sew! I know NOTHING!
Leslie says
I love maxi dresses! They are my thing during the spring. I struggle with sunglasses! I love them & I want to protect my eyes but I can’t find any to fit my face.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Yea! They are my thing too 😉
It can be a struggle to find the perfect fit!
All that's Jas says
If I were some 20+ years younger….sigh. Thanks for sharing at Thursday Favorite Things!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
There are maxis for everyone!
Harriet Emily says
Another great post, Rebecca! That red maxi dress is beautiful – great choice! I’m on the look out for some sunglasses myself too – I’ve seen some beautiful Miu Miu ones that I have my eyes on, so I really ought to start saving!!!!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
There are just a ton of cute Spring/Summer things I’ve been seeing….but I know I probably will chicken out and just go with what I have!
Lexi says
I loved reading this. I actually just wrote 2 posts about spring and my favorite things about it and so I was so excited when I found your post and there are now 5 more things I can add to my list of things I love about spring. Thanks for inspiring me.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Haha, Spring is just such a nice welcome!
Alyssa @ Simply Quinoa says
Loving the romper and maxi dress! I totally can’t pull of rompers though so I’ll stick to my maxi dresses and long skirts 🙂 Happy Spring!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Well maxis always work 😉
Kate says
I love the floral romper! It’s so pretty. I like the maxi dress, too, but I am so short that I can’t wear them! LOL!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Yes you can! I’m 5’4! Just wear heels, or tie up the bottom in a side knot!
Kristy @ Southern In Law says
Ahhh I am so jealous of all these cute spring outfits haha! I’m definitely a maxi girl but I haven’t even attempted to wear rompers as I feel like I’m too long/tall to pull it off.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
How about jumpsuits?
Camesha | Mama Motivator says
LOVE that romper. I need a few of those in my closet.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Time for some shopping 😉
Farrah says
hahaha, I dislike maxis, rompers and jumpsuits (short torso and maxis just look like shapeless sacks on me–I found one made of reallyyyy soft material for $1 and turned it into an infinity scarf), but am so happy that it’s finally warmer again! Yay for sunshine! 😀
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Hahahahahahaha! I don’t see you as a dress girl anyway! (Not a bad thing!) XOXO
Farrah says
It definitely doesn’t happen often! 😛
Ariana says
Big YES to maxi dresses, not so much jumpsuits and rompers…I have a really short torso and they tend to fit me weird 😉 I would LOVE a pair of over-sized coach sun glasses though!!
This spring I’ve got my eye on cute summery dresses, and maybe a new bag. But I’m like you – I tend to not spend a lot of money on material things! Mostly food 😉
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Jumpsuits are awesome though! Took me forever to finally actually try one, but then I fell in love!
Girl yes! Money may just happen to go to all the lovely produce and cookbooks I have my eyes on 😉
GiGi Eats says
THE ROMPER! I just got a little more interested in fashion ….. He He He… So I am totally into new and different styles I wouldn’t normally wear!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Haha, me too 😉 I do so need a romper though!
Ana Valentin says
So on top of baking we also need to go shopping together? Uh YES!! I’m obsessed with rompers! However Maxi dresses do get in the way of my life sometimes so I prefer midi or just knee length or above the knee dresses/skirts. The warmer weather definitely has brightened my spirit tenfold and I can feel it has warmed your already sunny one as well! Much love!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Haha, my shopping consists of one miraculous day where you don’t have to drag me around the store! Otherwise, I sometimes will take my chances online. Requardless, I love the look of clothes….but hate shopping! Haha!
Haha, Ana 🙂 XOXO
Ana Valentin says
I’ll just become your personal shopper, and you my recipe/ food prepper when I’m shopping for you ;D
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
That could work 😉
Jazmine says
Maxi dress and maxi skirts are my new favorite thing. This spring I was hoping to capture the whole boho look. 🙂 I love that bracelet it’s so pretty.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Haha, totally 😉 I forgot, maxi skirts too are the best! Haha, love them all!
Dana @ Pellerini Proclaims says
I live in maxi dresses in the warmer weather – they are so comfy! That bracelet is gorgeous too…I may have to check it out!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
You couldn’t get more easy, beautiful, and comfy!
Linda @ Veganosity says
You hate texting?! You are the only college student I’ve ever met that doesn’t like to text. Bravo!!
Love that maxi dress and those glasses, they scream summer. I love maxi’s in the summer, they’re a no-brainer. I love rompers too, but only on youngsters, people in their 50s, don’t, just please don’t
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
I don’t text. It is the WORST! Omg! Haha!
Yea…..rompers are more for 35 and younger, haha, but I think jumpsuits can work for older!
Bree says
These are great picks! I’ve already picked up a couple of rompers, and I plan to pretty much live in maxi dresses, the absolute comfiest things to wear!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
I really do need to get a romper!
rachel says
Those outfits are super cute… if you are tall and slim 😉 I am short and stout! Ha!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
I’m short! But they can totally work and DO!
Rachel says
I’m not one for rompers or jumpsuits, but I love maxi dresses! I’ve even figured out a couple of sophisticated ways to style them so that I can make them work for the office. I know that capris were declared “out” at some point last year in favor of long shorts but I’m still a fan. They’re great for spring.
According to my husband (who works in technology) the Droid Turbo is a “quite good” phone, and has good battery life.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Maxis are always the best 😉
That’s good to know! Seriously, battery life is my #1!
Jessica @ Nutritioulicious says
That romper is so adorable. Now I want it too!! And the maxi dress is super cute too – looks really soft and comfy. I am so excited and happy Spring is finally here! I haven’t had time to shop yet to see what I want to treat myself to just yet!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
I can’t wait to get some new ones and wear all the pretty things I have! They need to finally see the sun again!
Shashi at RunninSrilankan says
Oooh – that bracelet – that is adorbs!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Don’t you just love the colors!?
Sam @ PancakeWarriors says
48 hour battery life, girl sign me up! I feel like i’m constantly charging my phone. Don’t get me started on these maix dresses, oh I could just live in them!! Super cute
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
I know! The Droid’s always have the best! That’s why I had gotten the Droid Razr Maxx when it came out! I only care about battery life!
Me and you both 😉 They are just so pretty, comfy, and just…awesome!
Lisa @ Fun Money Finds says
Love all your spring finds…so cute!!!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Thanks Lisa!
Sara says
All of these clothes are so cute, I haven’t done any spring shopping for myself yet!!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Still early in the season 😉
Katie says
I love the maxi! so bright and fun.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Totally!
Alisa @ Go Dairy Free says
Hmm, is there a 4th option? 🙂 I’m a simple sundress kind of gal.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Haha! Any dress! I love dresses!
Christine (The Raw Project) says
The sunglasses and bracelet for me please!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
They are so pretty 🙂
Michele @ paleorunningmomma says
I honestly love rompers but kind of feel silly wearing them, so I buy cute tie dye and other bright colored ones for my girls! You are kind of making me want one for myself though 🙂 Once the shopping beast is awakened in me it’s unstoppable! I also love aviator sunglasses but they never quite fit right on me I’ve found. Maxis are definitely a staple, I love strappy-back maxis 🙂
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Haha, living through you’re girls 😉
Maxis are just so beautiful! I think they can work on anyone! And if you’re shorter like me, wear heels or tie it up!
It’s hard to find the right pair of sunglasses. I always fall in love, but then after wearing them find out they don’t fit right or hurt behind my ears!
Heather @ FITaspire says
I am determined to try out one of those cute short jumpers this year. I was eyeing them last season, but just didn’t take the plunge. This year I’m in! 🙂
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
I know! Since I love the look of jumpsuits on me, a romper has to work!
Hannah @ CleanEatingVeggieGirl says
I LOVE the look of that romper!! Now if only I could pull that off 😉 haha
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
I think you can 😉
Katie @ Mom to Mom Nutrition says
I’ll take the romper and sunglasses pretty please!!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Haha, me too 😉
Emily @My Healthyish Life says
I do like rompers! I have a few that I guess I should dig out for summer. I rarely spend money on clothes but when I do, it’s normally workout clothes.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Ah, okay, I MUST buy a romper this season! I know right! I buy clothes maybe once a year! Haha!
Heather @ The Nerdy Fox says
I am in love with Maxi dresses… I’m afraid of rompers. I think I’d look silly in them.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Me too….but I really want to try harder at finding one!
Larisa Dixon (@0to26point2) says
LOVE LOVE LOVE the maxi dresses. The fact that you can wear them to the beach and dress them up for the night is a plus in my book. Ill have to check that phone out. 48 hour battery life, score!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
I would live in maxis! Since I’m 5’4 though, I either need to wear heels or I like to tie a single side knot on the bottom!
Renee @ Bendiful Blog says
That bracelet is amazing and spring and summer clothes are the best way to get into Spring! I can not pull off a romper my torso is too long it makes me sad, But I love them on other people!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
I have a super long torso too! But I LOVE jumpsuits…so I still need to give the romper a try 😉
