Dia and Co. Box (January)

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.

My fourth Dia and Co. box. I'm still liking this service, but I think this has been my least favorite of all the boxes. The pieces just didn't quite click with me...

Item #1: Fashion to Figure Flared Jeans $46.90

Pros: Great fit. Don't have any flare jeans in my wardrobe. My butt looks fantastic in these!

Cons: Price. I don't usually pay this much for jeans, but I may need to rethink that policy.

Item #2: Cone Necklace $22.00

Pros: Pretty

Cons: Just don't see myself wearing this one.

Item #3: Fashion to Figure Plaid Sweater $36.90

Pros: None that I can think of.

Cons: Super boxy fit made me look way bigger than I am. It was too short and tight in the shoulders.

Item #4: Junarose Tie-Waist Dress $78.99

Pros: Love the color

Cons: Everything else. The long sleeves were awkward. But worst, the drawstring hit me at my biggest area. The dress made me look like a sack of lumpy potatoes. Just no.

Item #5: Junarose Slouchy Oversized Sweater $48.99

Pros: Love the color. Fit was great. Very comfy!

Cons: I just got about 7 sweaters for Christmas and I rarely wear them as it is. My town is too warm year-round and I tend to run hot.

So, what did I keep?

#1 Flared jeans -- Another pair of jeans is a nice addition to my wardrobe. My bootcut jeans were getting a little tired. Plus, they make my butt look great!
