I used to do Stitch Fix, but since having my son, I’m too big for most of their items. Their 14+ sizes are very limited. I’ve heard they are working on it, but until then, Stitch Fix is not a good fit for me. Someone in my online mom group pointed me towards Dia & Co. They specialize in size 14+. Yeah! I signed up immediately and received my first box this week.
Details of how it works: For $20 a shipment, you get a personalized style pack of five items. Then, you try everything on and decided to keep 1, 2, 3, 4, or all 5 items. The $20 stylist fee is credited to your purchase. And if you buy all five items, you get an extra 20% off.
I unboxed my items and again loved the look of everything. But then it was time to try everything on...
Item #1: Naked Zebra Draw String Dress $74.99
Pros: Nice style. I do love black.
Cons: I would definitely wear leggings under this as I'm not a huge fan of short dresses. I always feel self-conscious in them. And for $75, I would have to love the dress.
Item #2: Naked Zebra Sleeveless Tiered Blouse $59.99
Pros: Great color and fit. I love that it can be dressy or paired with simple jeans.
Cons: Have to wear a layer underneath.
Item #3: Yumi Bird Print Blouse $53.00
Pros: Cute print
Cons: Extremely boxy on me. And the tie at the neck bugged me.
Item #4: Brooke Necklace $25.00
Pros: My favorite color! Great length.
Cons: Do I need another necklace?
Item #5: ASOS Curve High Waisted Dark Wash Skinny Jeans $54.00
Pros: Fit great. I love darker wash.
Cons: While the high waist fit, I haven't quite resigned myself to wearing high waist pants.
So, what did I keep?

Item #5: I passed on the necklace and blue top even though I did really like them. I decided that the smart buy would be the jeans. I definitely do need a good pair of jeans. And these are different than what I already own. Can't wait to see what I get next month!
