In this monthly series, we\u2019ll introduce you to the team, one by one.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>First up:<\/em> Meet Megan Murphy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What do you do at Dia&amp;Co?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I was one of the first Dia Stylists! Now I\u2019m the executive assistant to Nadia and Lydia, our CEO and President.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><br>What\u2019s your favorite part about your job?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I love that my job gives me the chance to learn more about my strengths, and also make an impact on so many different parts of the company. I spend a lot of time coordinating meetings and booking travel, but you might also find me setting up A\/V equipment, making crafts for our company Core Value Awards, or even occasionally modeling in a photoshoot!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How would you define your personal style?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My personal style is more on the classic side\u2014I never get tired of black jeans, a denim shirt, and ankle boots. I like to add a little personality to these wardrobe staples by pairing them&nbsp;with fun details, like buttons or ruffles!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Who\u2019s your style icon?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I don\u2019t have a specific style icon, but I love outfits that are put together, while not feeling overly dressy. I end up getting most of my inspiration from Instagram\u2014I try to follow people who post attainable outfits. Bonus points if they wear plus sizes so I can shop their looks! A few recent faves are Natalie from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/nataliemeansnice\/\">@nataliemeansnice<\/a> and Mona from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/thesmilingsweetheart\/\">@thesmilingsweetheart<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Let\u2019s say you have something really important planned. What do you wear?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My go-to, feel-good outfit is a pair of high-waisted black skinnies and a peplum blouse. The peplum silhouette fits my body really well\u2014it shows off my waist and gives me a little extra room near my hips, which always makes me feel my best. I\u2019ll usually finish off my look with a block heel and some simple jewelry!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"520\" data-pin-url=\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\/blog\/love\/meet-the-team-megan\/?tp_image_id=3807\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\/gutenberg-blog-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/megan-half-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3807\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d3mnyo7e05c2kb.cloudfront.net\/blog-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/megan-half-2.jpg 400w, https:\/\/d3mnyo7e05c2kb.cloudfront.net\/blog-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/megan-half-2-231x300.jpg 231w, https:\/\/d3mnyo7e05c2kb.cloudfront.net\/blog-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/megan-half-2-300x390.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What\u2019s your final touch before you walk out the door?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I always curl my lashes! Even if I already did while applying my makeup, I do it one last time for good measure.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What\u2019s your favorite style tip, trick, or hack?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try to focus on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dia.com\/blog\/style_guide\/dress-silhouettes-101\/\">silhouettes<\/a> instead of sizes! For me, I find that dressing my body can be a little tricky\u2014my upper body is much smaller than my hips, so I have to look for more of an A-line cut to get the perfect fit. When I pay more attention to the shape of my clothes, I don\u2019t limit myself to certain brands or sizes, and I can branch out a little more with my style.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>When do you feel the most confident?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I feel the most confident when I remember to make time for myself. Whether it\u2019s doing my hair and makeup in the morning or getting myself to the gym after work, taking the time to do those things makes me feel like I\u2019m putting forward the best version of myself.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What\u2019s your idea of the perfect Sunday afternoon?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sitting in my backyard with a good book\u2014lately, I\u2019ve been on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/author\/show\/138825.Tana_French\">Tana French<\/a> kick\u2014and a cup of coffee. I also love a good self-care Sunday: painting my nails, doing a face mask, and getting my apartment back in shape. I always feel better starting the workweek after I\u2019ve had time on Sunday to catch up on life.<br><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><br>Where\u2019s your happy place?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the summertime, my happy place is either lying by the pool or going for a long drive. Here in New York City, you often live with roommates and take the subway to get around\u2014you can forget how great it is to drive alone and sing in the car as loud as you want. Sometimes you just need to jam out to 2008 Demi Lovato without anyone judging you, you know?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>One of our office\u2019s most popular snacks is cereal. What\u2019s your favorite kind?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My favorite cereal is either Crispix or Honey Nut Cheerios, depending on the day. I also have a weakness for Peanut Butter Cap\u2019n Crunch\u2014because sometimes adulting is hard!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From stylists to engineers, and graphic designers to customer experience associates, there are so many passionate people behind Dia&amp;Co\u2019s style magic.
