I'm so excited for the opportunity to partner with Pink Blush to showcase one super versatile dress from their women's clothing line for this fun post!  Did you know they have a whole section to shop NON-maternity styles?!

I loved pulling staple pieces from my closet to style this striped short sleeve side slit maxi dress THREE ways for your upcoming Spring Break vacation!  It is such a cute and classic maxi that you can dress up or down. And you know me, I'm always a sucker for stripes!  

[I'm wearing a small for reference]

First up, I paired it with a denim jacket + Steve Madden Starling sneaks. Everyone has a denim jacket + cute sneakers, right?!

Next up, I've got it paired with some of my favorite Marc Fisher wedges + Wythe Leather Band felt hat. I left the bottom of the dress untied for this look (though I always lean towards a knotted style).

And last but not least, you can find this dress paired with my all-time favorite oversized Free People High Hopes cardigan (on SALE!), and the always popular Tory Burch Miller sandals.

Want to know the best part?! You can save 25% off this striped short sleeve side slit maxi dress with code FIRSTDIBS!

**Please note: some of the links for the dress take you to a maternity landing page. It is because this dress works both ways (it's the same exact dress), just order your normal size and disregard. You can see the last picture in the maternity landing page is a non-bump model.**

When Smile Brilliant reached out to me regarding a collaboration + follower giveaway, I was beyond THRILLED!  For myself AND the future lucky winner!  Teeth whitening is a big part of my beauty routine and is something I plan to spend $$ on every year.  Some whitening kits and professional appointments for the procedure can be quite pricey.

As a more than busy mom of 4 who also juggles 3 work-from-home jobs, I kinda live on coffee + wine.
Coffee to keep me going, wine to calm my nerves, haha!

ENTER: some serious teeth staining.  Yikes.

For more than 10 years, I have used traditional Crest Whitestrips.  I like the whitening job they have done for me each year, but I very much dislike the tooth sensitivity that comes along with it.  And sometimes those flimsy strips can be tricky to put on, they slip off pretty easily too.  So I can't help but wonder at times if dropping the $$ for the professional appointment would be worth it. 

When I learned that Smile Brilliant does custom fitted trays AND desensitizing gel, I may have done a little happy dance!  No tooth sensitivity and trays that don't slip off?  Sign me up!

Creating the trays was a super easy, step-by-step process.  Just remember to actually grab the paper towels as mentioned in the instructions because you WILL drool everywhere while creating the molds.  I got a pretty good laugh out of that, haha!

Once the trays are complete and mailed back to you, whitening time can range anywhere from 45 minutes to 3 hours, depending on your desired level of whiteness, tooth sensitivity, and personal time restraints.  The desensitizing gel is applied in the tray after your whitening time, and you leave that on for 20 minutes.  No eating or drinking for 1 hour after.

I'd say the only downfall with using Smile Brilliant is TIME.  They suggest whitening before bed each night, and for me, that's quite possibly the worst time since I'm so tired at the end of the day.  Each whitening session takes [at minimum] an hour, vs the 30 minutes [anytime of day] with Crest.

The BIG positives are the custom fit trays, the immediate super white results, and desensitizing gel.  [BIG win on that last one.]  The Smile Brilliant teeth whitening system is more expensive than Crest obviously, but still very reasonable and well worth it for the results [and that desensitizing gel, haha].

Are you ready to smile fearlessly in 2020?!

Because ONE lucky follower will WIN one of these amazing teeth whitening kits!
