When it comes to your wardrobe do you ask yourself “I wish I could get more bang for my buck every time I shop?” If you remember most of this Summer I brought up “price-per-wear” when it comes to purchasing clothes. Basically the more you wear an item the lower the cost is per times you wear it. For example if you pay one hundred dollars for an item and wear it 24 times in a year the cost per wear is $4.16! Plus-Size retailer IGIGI is looking to help you out with your “price-per-wear” situation by introducing the Jackie 2-in-1 dress.
On the surface the dress is a simple black dress that can be worn for work or play with a nice pair of heels and some fierce accessories. You can change the look without changing the dress by simply turning the cuffs and the belt up to reveal the color beneath. At this point the only color is blue in the transformed section but who knows they may introduce other colors later. Read more...

Over the last few months I have been looking at different styles of shirts that would go good with french cuffs. Currently in my closet I have several styles and cuts that all add up to a variation of a cotton button down shirt. Not happy with this I took to the Intenet which lead me to MycubanStore.com. The website is filled with Cuban music, memorabilia, tropical clothing such as guayabera shirts, pants shoes and more. If nothing else you should stop by and browse around.
In a short time I was able to find several shirts that I liked and knew it was time to add a few Guayabera shirts to my collection. For those that don’t know the history behind the shirts you have seen some of everywhere read on. Read more...
