The best darn Shopping’s My Cardio tee around

{Update: You know I love a free shipping code, so here’s yours, good through 7.24: XMASINJULY}

I think it’s destiny. First, a whole bevy of you lovely people started tweeting, Facebook-ing (is this really a verb?) and emailing to tell me about those “Shopping Is My Cardio” tees that have been floating around this season. Then, Mindy Kaling wore one! On TV! And finally, if that weren’t enough, last week we got news that yes, Virginia, shopping actually is cardio for most women. (To the tune of 15,000 calories a year, thank you very much. In case you needed more incentive to indulge.)

If all of that delightful hullabaloo taught me one thing, it’s this: whoever’s making those shirts is doing it wrong! Seriously, that font? Those colors? We can do better, friends. We must do better. And we shall.

Yep, it’s here: SMC merchandise-palooza! (By which I mean a couple of t-shirts and a mug. I mean, let’s not get crazy.)

To say I’ve obsessively researched this to make these as good as I possibly could would be, well, a ridiculous understatement. In the hours upon hours I’ve spent scouring the interwebs for the best printing company who makes tees chic enough for YOU, dear readers, I could have probably orchestrated world peace or finally learned how to make a pie filling that doesn’t run all over the place. But hey, this is important stuff. If I’m going to suggest you buy a tee, it needs to be fantastic, right? You’d expect no less.

My personal favorite is the dark grey tee – something about that contrast stitching and the slightly scooped neck just makes it awfully cute in person. But that Flashdance-ish sweatshirt is also pretty rad, as is the black tote. Oh heck, they’re all great. Read my product descriptions for fit help (naturally, I had to try these out before I could even dream of suggesting them to you).

What do you think, friends? I really hope you’ll love them, and add one to your closet ASAP, so that I can geek out like a teenager at a Justin Bieber concert if I ever see you walking down the street wearing one. (You know I totally will.)
