Fabric

I used 2 1/2 yards of red Peach Skin(non stretch) because
it was on sale, I would suggest a light weight polyester/cotton

Supplies

yard stick/ruler

measuring tape

pattern board(optional)

iron

thread

pins

freezer/pattern paper

marking utensil i.e. chalk, pencil, sharpie, etc.

pattern weights(optional)

sewing machine

serger(optional)

Tips

* My over garment is 62" long so I use the length of my fabric, if you are  shorter you can can use the width and purchase less fabric

* make sure you purchase enough fabric for your sleeves

*if you are using a non stretch fabric make your front neck line at least 2" lower than the back(depending on how wide/low you want your neck line to be)

*if you use a stretch fabric try a medium weight fabric like a ponte roma so it's not clingy

*for a tighter/fitted t shirt dress measure your waist and hips and mark your pattern accordingly

I received a Smile Bright teeth whitening kit and was super excited to give it a go! I wanted to get my teeth whitened by my orthodontist when I had my braces taken off, you know to kind of complete the look with a beautimous bright smile. When I asked about it the price was just a little to high for me. So this kit is absolutely perfect, the price is only $25 with my discount code Smile99(the regular price is $99).

Smile Bright Teeth Whitening Kit

The kit comes with easy to follow instructions, a professional teeth whitening guide, led light(batteries included), pre-filled syringe with teeth whitening gel and a mouth piece. 

The whitening gel is a peroxide based gel that has a higher percentage than the store bought gels which combined with the led light is why it's so effective. You apply the gel to the mouth piece, place the mouth piece and led light into your mouth. You let them sit for 30 minutes. Rinse your mouth and mouth piece out and repeat the above steps. The first time you do this you want to do 2 treatments back to back. Tip: don't brush your teeth/eat right before you do the treatments so that your teeth and gums won't be scratched or extra sensitive.

Your mouth will fill up with saliva and it is safe to swallow it, although I didn't. It actually says the saliva helps spread the gel  around your teeth which helps make sure all of your teeth get whitened.

After my first 2 treatments I noticed results right away. I continued to use it nightly for the next few days and my results after one week are in the first pic above. From then on you can use the kit as often as you feel you need to. You get enough for 20 thirty minute treatments in one syringe and you can purchase additional syringes from their website.

I wasn't really expecting much from the kit because I drink a lot of coffee and tea and things like that really do stain our teeth. Much to my surprise I got great results and I am beyond pleased with the kit. You can check out their website here

and use the coupon code to your kit for only $25 too!

037 DIY Floral Jumpsuit

"Just living is not enough...one must have sunshine, freedom and a little flower". Well I've got flowers on top of flowers for this look. :-)

I love jumpsuits but they're usually not long enough or the sleeves are too short. I always end up having to wear a long sleeve shirt underneath. In this weather? Ain't nobody got time for that! ;-) So I made this really pretty 037 floral jumpsuit. If you're wondering what 037 its my clothing line that I'm working on.  Make sure you follow @037Clothing on instagram so you know when it launches.

I paired the jumpsuit with a lilac Kimchi Blue triple gusset cross body pouch that brings out the lilac flowers in this print. It's a thrifted bag that I got for $5! Winning! A light weight green maxi hijab and a pair of tan wedges. 

My lipstick is one of all time faves, Wet n Wilds Purty Persimon. It's one of my fave bright and bold lipsticks. Click here for a video of my top 20 fave bold lippies.

I added a zipper in the back. I also have a belt on that I meant to sew into the sides but completely forgot to do while I was making it. So I sewed the two pieces together and it made a super cute belt. 

Thanks so much for reading!

Nadira037  |  thrifted red blazer

This blazer was a thrifted find, and I love it! It had crazy big shoulder pads(possibly the biggest ones ever know to man) so I took them out and now it's perfect.

My jeans are thrifted Banana Republic. They're vintage jeans with a tapered leg so I made them into boyfriend jeans and distressed them. My shoes are from CitiTrends! I've never shopped there before but it's right next to my local JoAnn's so I figured why not check them out? Who knew the home of the ratchet finds had really cute shoes? I grabbed these for $7! Thank you CitiTrends I will be getting more shoes from there.

My lipstick is poppin thanks to Wet n Wild Spotlight Red and Revlon's Lacquer Balm in Provocateur. Click here for my 5 fave affordable red lippies and here for a review of Revlon's matte and lacquer balms.

For the top I really wanted a crop but still wanted the coverage in the back. This high low crop top was born. I will be making many more of these tops. They are a new Spring must have for me, perfect for full coverage of the derriere. :-) I used a medium weight knit ponte fabric from JoAnn's.
