It’s amazing how much it can cost to look like you don’t give two sh*ts- I offer exhibits A and B to you, the jury- so I applaud Oak for adding A.Ok to their online inventory. They’ve always kept a modern, edgy selection (Unconditional, Complex Geometries, Pleasure Principle, Vena Cava, Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair, the list goes on) and while not quite the same on the cheap, the A.Ok pieces (Below) still offer some bang for your buck.
This dress, $128USD, (Above Left) is a nice twist on the “LBD,” as Cosmo would call it, and this type of stretchy material usually holds its shape forever. Can people stop calling little black dresses LBDs, by the way? It makes my skin crawl. And I have been all about white jeans for the last year; unfortunately I impulsively hacked my J Brands into cutoffs. Perhaps these (Above Right) would be a suitable replacement, for a respectable $96USD…
At $62USD, this double-zipper high-waisted skirt (Above Left) with very flattering proportions is a steal. I’m pretty meh on the $82USD bandage tube dress (Above Right), due to 2008 being the red carpet year of Herve Leger cliche, and also the fact that the lightest-colored band is right at the waist, but I bet that this will be a popular piece. Taylor Momsen can wear it to church!
Of course, now that I’m surfing the Oak store online, I might as well wander into more financially dangerous territory, like this Gestuz vest and Ideeen dress (Below, Left to Right)…
