The Plus-Sized Mama: My Second Dia&Co Box

April 8, 2019 By Ashley McKeown 4 Comments

I ordered a second Dia&Co box.

If you’re not sure what I’m talking about, you can go read my first Dia&Co post, but here’s what you need to know:

I’m a plus-sized mama who hates shopping, so I’m branching out and trying clothing subscription boxes.
Dia&Co only carries plus sizes, and their stylists pick items to send you based on a questionnaire you fill out online.
You pay a $20 styling fee that can be applied to anything you keep from your box, and then you send back what you don’t like/want.
My first box was decent, but I had a few complaints and I didn’t keep anything, so I decided to order a second box.
