The Secret Life of a Bio Nerd: First StyleMint Purchase: Melrose in Navy Blue

I'm am super excited to have received my first StyleMint shirt. I actually used the PopSugar coupon code so I got this shirt for only $15! What a great deal! So here are some of my opinions on the shirt!

Navy Blue

Ballet Slipper Pink

Note: This was purchased with my own money so all of my opinions are honest.

First Impressions (Packaging) : I was extremely excited to receive my first StyleMint shirt. Upon receiving it, I thought the over all packaging is cute. Definitely not as great and elaborate as JewelMint but still cute.

First Impressions (Melrose Shirt - Navy Blue- Size 1): Once I pulled it out of the packaging, I was like "Oh, this looks like any other shirt." The look of the shirt was just like any henley top to me. But once I tried it on, I loved it. The fabric is extremely soft. I mean, I want to fall asleep in it soft. The color of the shirt was a nice vibrant navy blue, not the typical, I'm going to fade in one wash navy blue.

Fit: I normally wear a size x small or small in tops, 0 or 00 in pants. I'm 4 feet 11 inches, so I'm pretty petite. I ordered a size 1 in the Melrose and the arms of the shirt are a little bit snug.T Tighter than I what I would have though but the bodice of the shirt allowed for some movement. For those who are taller, I would recommend getting a size 2 for the Melrose top if you like it to be loose.

Quality: I have not washed this shirt yet so I do not know how well it will do in the wash. The shirt is a little on the thin side but that could be fixed with a cami.

The verdict: On a scale of 1 to 5. 1 being poor, 5 being awesome

First impressions: 4
Fit: 4
Quality: 4
Color: 5
Style: 5

Would I recommend StyleMint tops? I would say that $30.00 for a basic is pretty pricy, but for $15, it is a great deal. For those who have the money to spend on good quality basics, go for it. For those who are budget conscience like me, not so much. I would just wait for coupons :)
