Oak side pleat maxi dress | $94 with code FF30 (ends today!)
My two-years later review | I’m wearing the medium here, but I sold it and replaced it last year with the small
I highly highly highly highly recommend this dress. It’s one of my favorites of all time and is a complete workhorse; it holds up well to regular washing & wearing. This dress is so simple, and easy, but I get compliments every time I wear it, and it literally feels like nothing at all…
Also, Shopbop has marked down lots of items up to 40% off for a few days, including some James Perse basics (MY FAVORITE TEES!!!!!!) that never go on sale, and some things I’ve had my eye on by 6397, including the jeans I bought and returned!
James Perse tee dress | $180 (size 1 and 3 left) – seen on me below
James Perse short sleeve v-neck tee | $45 (I have one of these in every color…black & white Haha!)
James Perse sheer slub long sleeve tee | $59 (the best long sleeve tee…)
James Perse tee dress on me – size 2
Splendid ribbed maxi dress | $45 (seen on me below – I’ve had this for five years)
6397 ribbed tee dress | $129 (I am very tempted by this simple non-super-fitted dress)
Robert Clergerie denim mules | $308 (I cannot recommend these highly enough – different color seen on me above)
Stuart Weitzman oxfords (faux leather ) | $311 (I am sooooooo tempted by these. I have been craving a pair of silver shoes for years)
Splendid dress on me two years ago
See anything worthy of your attention? Happy Wednesday!!! Costa Rica tomorrow 🙂
Get the silver shoes! They’re a neutral. I have silver oxfords and the fitflop superskate slipons (which I wear mostly as commuting shoes) and I love love love them.
Grechen, is that JP tee dress double-layer? I’m tempted but have been disappointed in the dresses with just a single layer of material.
Thanks!
Yes it’s double layer. It’s a “classic” James Perse ruched dress. So good!!
Ugh. I want those oxfords…
You will love CR. Buen viaje! I hope you see a quetzal! Can you please post your packing list? Love a good packing post. Or you could wait until your return to debrief your packing choices….Or post both!
+1 for the Splendid dress! I have it in the knee-length version and it’s my summer go-to dress, and I always get compliments when I wear it. Great staple.
Thanks! I got what I think was the last size 3 in the dress though I’m bracing for my order to be canceled.
If you’re looking for a reason not to get the oxfords, that type of mirror-finish synthetic material is almost always very stiff and may not give much. I’ve never seen the Weitzman shoes in particular but they look like they might be similar to the ones I do have

I ordered that Oak dress as soon as you let me know about the FF sale. Hasn’t shipped yet 🙁 So it won’t travel with me this week. I had planned to go to the Oak boutique in NYC when I visit in June. Might still. Oddly, the largest size listed is L but it’s also listed as a Plus option. So…….No clue if it will fit me or not. We’ll see!
Have a great time in Costa Rica! We love it there as well (but are very happy my in-laws finally sold their houses & land there because we didn’t want to have to deal with it when they eventually aren’t around any more….)
I adore silver shoes!!! I have silver birkenstock Gizehs that I wear all the time (my go-to shoe when my plantar fasciitis acts up) I also have bronze Taos (that you found for me a few years back!) and some pewter Ecco ballet flats. I love a metallic! I’m finicky about shoe color with different color hemlines (weird, I know) but I find I’ll wear metallic when many other options won’t make me happy….
Grechen. Kinda random question but is oak affiliated with “oak + fort” and/or “a/ok”?
not oak & fort, but yes to a/ok!
Great thanks! Is A/OK a cheaper line of oak? Or something else?
i think it was their “diffusion” aka “cheaper” line, but i don’t see it on the site anymore…
There were a/ok dresses on the site earlier in the week when I was buying the box pleat dress. (Oak site, not sure about ShopBop)
My Oak dress arrived tonight! (without the shipping notification ever being sent) I love it!!!! Will be so perfect in the heat here….
yay!! i’m so glad you finally got it 🙂
Speaking up to recommend that Oak dress HUGELY. I love it. Wore it on my blog too – with block heeled Stuart Weitzmans and gold chandeliers;).
Ooh, that sounds lovely – that was last summer? I’ll have to go back and look on your blog. I don’t carry off “glamourous” as well as others (I’m great at preppy and pretty good at bohemian…) Looking for ways to style it 🙂
I just ordered the dress from Saks Off 5th and it was cancelled…I HATE that!!!
Is it pretty thin? I cannot do thin fabric!
I have the Oak dress, too, and it runs large! (I’m a 14 and I got a L)
