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!}

I actually joined the site a month ago, but I'm nervous about buying anything since I don't know anything about the fit and quality of the shirts. I'm excited that you're going to review their t-shirts. The other thing that makes me nervous is that once you order one shirt you are automatically sent one every month unless you get on the website each month and say you don't want it. I worry that I wouldn't remember to look at the shirts and make a decision at the beginning of each month. I also couldn't find any info on the website about how to completely quit so that you never receive any more shirts. I'd be interested to know if you learn anything more about the website.

I'll do some research for you! Personally I set up a calendar reminder through gmail to remind me to cancel the shipment each month, but I'll find out of they send out a reminder {they should!}, and also about quitting.
