Cultivating confidence through fashion and style
By Erika, Fashion Expert Ever seen a woman wearing something you loved and wished you could buy it right then and there? Ever wanted to purchase something you see without having to sort through all the merchandise in a store or search through pages of items online? Ever wanted to get an idea how something [...]
By Erika, Fashion Expert It's been about two months since I've posted on the blog. If you follow YCS on Instagram, you have a little bit of insight into everything that has been going on. If you don't, have no fear, I'm going to be doing a 3-part blog series about the last 3 months [...]
By Erika, Fashion Expert I don't know about you guys but I'm over here waiting for spring to, well, spring! The tease that we had a few weeks ago whet my appetite for warmer days and now, with each new snow, I'm longing for sunny weather and higher temperatures. I'm also eagerly counting down to [...]

By Erika, Fashion Expert I'm a day late with this week's Recap post! My sincerest apologies for that. Truthfully, I took a trip to Wakanda (again!!) on Sunday night and by the time we got home the only thing I was going to do was crawl into bed! Last week was loads of fun and [...]

I know that swimsuit season can be a dreaded time for many plus size or full figured women (so, basically women). Not because it means baring their body, but because it was a time when the store shelves were stocked with a sea of floral, skirted bathing suit options better suited for the grandmas, not Gisele's, of the world. Of course, these days, this is no longer the case - there is no shortage of fabulous swimwear available for women of all shapes and sizes. Below, check out some of my favorite styles for the summer.
By Erika, Resident Fashionista Editor's Note: While YCS gets back in the groove and we continue our hunt for an intern we're going to scale back our posting schedule. But don't worry, we're still bringing you all the goodness. Stick with us!! The thing about spring, at least here in Philly, is that the weather [...]
