StyleMint Giveaway!

[CONTEST CLOSED. WINNER: ELIZABETH JOHNSON20.]

By now, I'm sure you've heard of StyleMint, the members-only T Shirt subscription service from former Tanners and present-day style icons Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen.

If you haven't, here's the rundown: all you do is sign up (membership is free), fill out a fun little quiz called a StyleProfile that helps the site tailor selections just for you, and then choose from one of four gorgeously cut, super-soft, high-quality T Shirt styles for just $29.99 each (many of which are available in multiple colors). If you don't see a style you like, you don't buy one...it's as simple as that. But if you do, you get free shipping, and easy-as-pie returns...and there are new styles to choose from each month.

So I did this:
