I feel like Boo’s favorite color might possibly be white, which makes us automatic soulmates.

MYkind: stylemint.

stylemint tshirts

Winter is a time for hibernating, and lately I’ve been lounging around in little more than old Ts and sweat pants (save for the occasional sequin hot pants mood!). Luckily, StyleMint sent over a few Ts for me to try out (I’m wearing I’m Almost Not Crazy above), and I haven’t changed out of them since (they are by far the comfiest tops I now own).

The best part? StyleMint is basically a subscription service for Ts, where you can choose your favorite styles (tailor-made for you!) and receive a new one in the mail each month. Or, you can skip any month, free of charge. Free to join, no obligation to buy, free shipping, easy to return – the whole shebang. (A great gift for your blogger friends, yes?) A new obsession for sure.

psst: Sign up through December 31st with promo code MANKIND and receive 15% off your first order.
