A step outside of the box to live color-fully, More Than Your Average is an outward and visual expression of our innermost confidence through one-of-a-kind plus size vintage finds. It says, "I'm here, this is me, authentically, always!” Mya Price’s philosophy is concise but cogent: “When we look good, we feel good. When we feel good, we generate positive energy that impacts the way we make others feel.” However, Price realized the fashion industry did not make “looking good” accessible for a significant segmented woman. She says, “I observed a gap in the clothing selections for women considered to be plus-size. Since middle school, I've been a size fourteen. Despite numbers, all women deserve style and choice.”

So, in 2017, Price launched More Than Your Average (MTYA), an online vintage and thrift boutique for women size 12 and up who find it challenging to acquire inspiring pieces in a typical store. MTYA caters to individuals who want to “step outside of their comfort zone and embrace their originality.” Price says, “I believe all women should be celebrated through fashion, no matter their size or shape. All women deserve equal access to pieces that empower them every day and also put a smile on their face.”

Inspired from childhood by her grandmother's church outfits and mother’s colorful collection of accessories, Price believes in being bold and brilliant when it comes to both fashion and life. This is reflected in her favorite saying, "Be the fruit loop in a sea of cheerios." Price’s equally fearless style advice to women is "when you get dressed in the morning, do so in a way that allows you to feel like you can take on the world."

“Through my dress, I recognized that you can impact others, your environment, and your clothing. When I look good, I feel good. When I feel good, I generate positive energy that impacts the way others feel. And when you make yourself feel good, you create a friendlier environment. When I get dressed in the morning, I do so in a way that allows me to feel like I can take on the world.” Price hopes that you will be inspired to utilize the items you find on her website as a propelling point to go beyond yourself and to leave your imprint on the world.

You are beautiful. Today and every day. Experience more, with More Than Your Average!
