As I’ve been trying to build my wardrobe up, I’ve thought to (finally) try Dia & Co. I kept seeing reviews and videos, and then I decided “oh why not?” when they had a promotion that had the style fee of $20 waved on the first box. I was prepared to hate everything and send it all back. For the uninitiated, Dia & Co. is a personal styling service for sizes 14-32, and you get 5 styled items in each box.
I was not prepared to love it all. I love my stylist, Katie, and I think she does an amazing job of picking things out…so amazing, that I have to share with you what I got. So I’ll start with my first box, which was in february and then share what was in the March box. When you keep everything, not only do you have the $20 styling fee applied toward the total amount, but you also receive 25% off.

My February Dia & Co. Box
This was my first box. I’d told my stylist I was wanting to build up on basics, as I’d just cleared out my closet, and I’d mentioned that I wanted to capitalize on the whole leopard print trend. Did I mention that I was prepared to just send everything right back out the door? (I did send Natalie West’s stuff all right back out the door). I opened the box, and immediately I smiled. Here’s what was in that box (I’ll share photos from the site, and then modeled photos).
- Bella Fringe Necklace Silver ($30) OS
- Meri Skye Eve 3/4 Sleeve Stripe Blouse ($35) 0X
- Meri Sky Bristol Skinny Jean – Tall, Black ($49) 16 Tall
- BOBEAU Tona Lattice Sleeve Knit Top, Black ($45) 1X
- Rachel by Rachel Roy Rose Fitted Sweater Skirt ($49) 1X
I kept them all, so with the discount, the total came to $178.50. Here’s what they look like on my 5’10” 290lb body.
Here’s the Bristol Skinny Jean, the Eve 3/4 Sleeve Stripe Blouse, and the Bella Fringe Necklace together. (Booties from Shoedazzle, you can sign up here and take 75% off your first order. I just got them today, and I really think they’re great – and comfortable.)
And then we have the Tona Lattice Sleeve KNit top, Rose Fitted Sweater Skirt, and again, the Bella Fringe Necklace (I’ve been wearing it with everything.) Shoes here are Sam Edelman, I got them from a Nordstrom sale years ago. I forgot how high the heels are. I felt SO tall.
My March Box
I gave a lot of positive feedback on what I’d received in the February box, and I was really excited for the March box. I’d requested things that were “spring-y” – colored pants, pinks, etc., and fun. Once again, my stylist, Katie, really delivered. I had readied myself to maybe like one or two things…but nope, I loved it all, again. Here’s what I received.
- Nanette Lepore Garland High-Low Dress – 18 ($79)
- Alchemy Thread Liza Button Down Top – 1X ($45)
- Molly & Isadora Gardner Double Rolled Capri – Yellow – 20 ($59)
- Delancey Studio Jane 3/4 Sleeve Slub Knit Peplum Cardigan – 1X ($55)
- Charlotte Clutch, White – $38
Okay, so the Liza blouse reminds me so much of a shirt that I used to love and wear all the time when I was in grad school, so when I pulled it out, I was really really excited. When I put on the dress, well it was love at first wear.
First up: The Garland High-Low Dress with the Peplum Cardigan and the Charlotte Clutch. The shoes are Christian Siriano, and I found them at a thrift store. It looks like Poshmark has some pairs in.
And then we have the Liza Button down top with the Gardner Capris and the Jane Slub Cardigan again. The shoes here are American Eagle, but I got them off Poshmark a couple weeks ago – new with tags!
So there you have it. It was a great experience, and I do think that you get out of it what you put in, so be specific and good about pinning things you’re interested in to help your stylist get to know you. You can use this link to get styled for free for your first box. Should you sign up, you also help me out with my newfound addiction, as I also get a $20 credit.
What would you love to see in your Dia & Co. Box?
