So I got my second Dia box today. I had a SNAFU with my credit card (which got stolen) so it took me some time to notice they didn't have my current card info. Which I had logged into their site several times to see if it had shipped/why it didn't ship and nothing indicated my card info was wrong. I found an email buried in my junk email that asked me to update my billing info. And even when I logged in to look at the billing info, it didn't give me warnings that the previous payment method was not working.
ANYWAY! Aside from website/clerical glitches, I did eventually get my second Dia box. I was unfortunately way more disappointed the second time than I had been the first time. Let's get on with the review:
Molly & Isadora - Delancey Skinny Jeans - size 14 - $65
OK! First up are the skinny jeans! Yes, they fit just fine. They're tight as fuck and that's basically how they're supposed to fit. They didn't dig into my hips. They didn't give me camel toe. And they made my ass look nice. The front pockets were underwhelmingly small, but I suppose at least they had pockets at all. I'm on the fence about getting these or not since I've got like 3 other pairs of black skinny jeans, or really, jeggings.
Molly & Isadora - Skylar Keyhole Sleveless Blouse - size 1X - $59
I liked the keyhole detail on this top. And the navy and white was ok. I typically go for black and white, but I could do the color aspect because the print itself was cute. But what really sealed the deal for me was the cut on this top. It is basically a trapeze top and felt more like a dress or tunic than top. And while it looked fine with a blazer and was comfortable without a blazer on, it was not at all flattering when I didn't have a blazer on. It made me look way bigger than I am, not something I am looking for.
Michael Studio - Kate Utility Jacket - size 12 - $118
This blazer. I really wanted to like it, but ultimately, I won't get it either. The benefits were: The stretch, the D-ring details on the front, the functional front pockets, and it generally had enough stretch when I reached up. I really don't like navy, but it matched the top it was sent with and I am trying to branch out into other colors other than black and gray, so a navy is a valid choice. I didn't like: no internal pockets, not lined, too baggy around the waist, dry clean only, and kind of expensive.
In the last image here, I'm actually wearing a blazer I already own. Its by Liz Claiborne and I got it from JCPenney. Its black, size 10, has internal pockets, front pockets I haven't un-cut to use, is machine washable and was only $40. So. I was whelmed with the blazer they sent me.
Meera Lane - Phoenix Sleeveless Flare Dress - Size 1X - $59
The dress was another strike out. It was waaaaaaaaaay too big. It was a fine color, deep forest green. It hit right at the knees, too, which is nice for work. But the cut was weird, the points of the boobs were like, way too high? And I don't have saggy tits, I'm wearing a normal bra in these pictures, not some unlined, non-wire bullshit. It was soft enough. Would likely snag though if the cat ever hopped up on me.
Rafaella - Carson Pant - Size 14 - $65
Again, they totally missed the mark here. These pants where HUGE. I have a size 16 pair of dress pants I bought at the thrift store and these fit just like those. But at least I only paid $5 for those other ones. These were so unflattering on my ass. The only nice thing I have to say about them is "they're black!"
So there you have it. I'm going to literally send this whole box back. Everything was whelming and didn't really fit. Which is kind of sad. But its only $20 for them to style me. So I'll let them do it one more time. I'm on the every 3 month plan, so expect another post in about 3 months!
Oh! Here's a sample of what it looks like when you tell them why you're sending stuff back:
