There’s a New Shopping Club: StyleMint Featuring Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen

JewelMint - Designs by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen

Fantastic news! There’s a new shopping club for me {and you?} to become obsessed with: StyleMint. Whereas ShoeDazzle sells shoes and JewelMint sells jewelry, StyleMint sells T Shirts. And yes, of course there are celebrities involved. StyleMint features designs from two pint-size billionaires: Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen! {Side note: Remember when they were designing for kiddies and selling their stuff at Wal-Mart? Dang, I feel old.}

Like the other shopping clubs {is this even the appropriate term?}, when you first register for a StyleMint account you will take a style survey and they will base your monthly selections on your personal style. If you choose to buy a T, it’ll cost you $29.95. Shipping is free.

I filled out the survey and these were the looks they chose for me this month:

I’d have to agree that these are all definitely styles I can see myself wearing.

There are two things that I wonder about, however:

  • The quality – $29.99 isn’t a ton of money but it’s more than I’d usually pay for a T.
  • The sizing – sizes come in sizes 1-4 and according to the size chart they don’t offer anything larger than a size 10/12. I am wondering if they are only interested in catering to ladies that are similarly sized to the Olsens, or if they have some sort of weird vanity sizing {a la Lands’ End Canvas}. If it’s the former, I’d love to see them expand a bit!

To do my part to answer these questions I went ahead and purchased a shirt! {All in the name of research for you lovelies! :) } I had to go for the Michigan shirt, in a sign of solidarity with my home state. As soon as the shirt arrives I’ll let you know how I feel about it.

In the meanwhile, if you’re interested in seeing what styleMint recommends for you, click here to register and take the style quiz. {You don’t pay anything until you shop!}
