A Word From a Customer
I Finally Added Some Colour to a Very Dull Closet
If you know me, you would know I've always played it safe with my wardrobe. Black, navy, the occasional grey if I was feeling bold. Practical, easy to match, and completely uninspiring if I'm honest. But hey, I got used to it. It made me feel like I was just blending in, instead of standing out.
But after some remarks from my daughters who would beg me to add some colour in my life, I ordered the Vaya on a bit of a whim. Mostly because I realized my girls were right, and I was tired of reaching for the same three "safe" pieces every week.
What actually happened
When it arrived, it was better than I expected. The fabric is genuinely made for summer. Light, breathable, none of that clingy heaviness some "summer dresses" have once you're actually out in the heat.
I wore it out for the first time not long after, and it was honestly the first thing in months that felt like an actual outfit rather than just "clothes."
Three things that stood out to me
One. The colour.
I never buy colour. This was the first piece in ages that wasn't black, navy, or grey, and it didn't feel like a costume, it just felt like me trying something new. Dressing how I deserve to dress.
Two. The fabric.
Properly lightweight. I didn't spend the day adjusting it or feeling overheated, which is rarer than it should be with summer dresses.
Three. It's easy.
No thinking required. Just put it on and go, which is exactly what my wardrobe was missing. If you have to think about how to style things and what not, you are way less inclined to wear it. But with this dress it's so simple. Put it on, add some lovely sandals and you're ready for the day.
About the price
I'll be honest, the price is what almost put me off, in a good way. The Vaya was £70 when it first launched. Which is a bit more on the expensive side. It's now £34.95, 50% off, because summer's winding down and they're clearing current stock. Though I must say, it looks like they are starting to sell out for this discounted price. Before I ordered I checked the reviews: just over 200 of them, sitting at 4.3 stars. Not suspiciously perfect, which is part of why I trusted it.

Worth a look while the sale's still on and summer stock lasts.
