Happy Monday all!
I hope everyone had a great weekend and fabulous Mother’s Day! I spent my Mother’s Day celebrating my late mother Betty Niles. My mom passed away when I was 27 after years of struggling with chronic illness. In the past Mother’s Day was very difficult for me but I’ve come to realize that just because my mother is no longer physically present doesn’t mean she stopped being my mom. Now I use the day to reminisce and give thanks for having such a wonderful mom who passed her love of travel and colorful sense of style to me. When my mom was alive she was a huge fan of Lane Bryant and their clothes. I remember spending many Saturday afternoons shopping with her and my sisters at their old Fifth Avenue location. Those hours spent together are some of the funniest and best memories I have of my mother. So when I found out I was selected to participate in Lane Bryant’s Blogger Conference during Full Figured Fashion Week I was so excited because my mom loved them. Lane Bryant graciously gave each attendee a gift card to participate in their Style Off competition. On May 20th you’ll be able to vote for your favorite outfit styled by bloggers like Rebecca from The Plus Side of Me, Bella from BellaStyles and Dani from DIY Fatshion on Lane Bryant’s Facebook page. Here is my styled outfit from Lane Bryant’s collection. I hope you like it and will vote for me on May 20th !
Have a great day!

Thank you so much! 🙂
You will get my vote!!! Yes, I have a long relationship with Lane Bryant, I will always be faithful to them…always. They were the ones that had the fashion when no department stores would carry plus size. Our mother’s will always be in us because they gave us life. Love ya!

As always you look radiant. Lovely combination. All items are so nice. And your story about your mom is touching. I think reminiscing your mother on Mothers Day is a very sweet thing.
And of course I will vote for you on May 20. Will you give us a link??
