Cultivating confidence through fashion and style
By Erika, Fashion Expert Many of our readers may not know that YCS originally started out as an event planning company (along with fashion styling) with a focus on curating fashion-focused events like fashion shows, themed brunches, etc. Though I got out of the event planning and production business, my love for events has never [...]
By Erika, Fashion Expert Another week of our #OOTD365 Challenge is in the books. Are any of the YCS readers taking the challenge? If so, let me know so that I can follow you on IG and get inspired by your looks! Some weeks, I feel like I really hit a fashion stride - as [...]
By Erika, Fashion Expert Week two of the #OOTD365 Challenge is in the books. I'm getting into the groove of shooting my looks in the morning before I head to work and finally set-up the 2nd bedroom at the apartment to be my in home "studio" for the time being. Here is what I learned [...]
By Erika, Fashion Expert I survived my first week of the #OOTD365 challenge. A couple of bad weather days meant that I was more casual throughout the week than I would have normally been. Hopefully, I'll be putting in a full week at the office the week coming up and will have some more variety [...]

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 [...]
By Erika, Resident Fashionista I know that YCS has been rather quiet the past couple of weeks - and I am really sorry about that.
