crocodile rock around the christmas tree
all black… when Christmas is right around the corner? i’ve gone rogue you’re thinking—totally mad. but i assure you, i’m a rebel with a cause. with holidays are fast approaching, much like last week, i want to take a slight detour. today, we’re fashion forward and focused on a leather “holiday” outfit i know you’re going to love. how can you not, especially when the centerpiece is this pair of laceless d’orsay oxford from Freda Salvador?
leather holiday outfit
the rains have hit Athens. the weather continues to jump around between highs of 70s and lows of 40s. so when the world can’t make up its mind, it’s time to go back to the basics. back to black. all black. today i’m sporting a black cashmere turtleneck from Talbots. They’ve got a 50% off sale today, so make sure to pick one up if you’ve been on the fence.
i’ve paired the turtleneck with these really fun ankle-zip joggers from Neiman Marcus. and if you don’t have a leather jacket and/or blazer in your closet, i’ve pulled this one and a similar from Nordstrom. a staple every woman should have.

killer crocs
of all the shoes i’ve worn recently, these laceless d’orsay oxfords are my favorite. by far. in fact, if i had to pick, my lug-sole loafers and these oxfords are my fall & winter statement pieces respectively. i cannot recommend them highly enough. don’t they just make you want to get up and sing:

rebel with a cause
we are approaching the holidays; and a new year; and a new decade. and i’m excited, because much like today, i plan to continue to being a fashion rebel, if only in the sense that i’ll continue to try to bring you new ideas that push us both in and out of our comfort zones. so, tell me in the comments below one time you broke out of yours this year.

Love the jacket and shoes but I can’t see myself wearing the pants. Too wild for me.
Those pants do you no favors.
Hmm..I’m not loving this look Beth.
I’m on board with all your ootd’s but these pants aren’t very flattering.
Shoes dont look very comfortable.
But ,hey,we have to mix things up to keep it interesting.
You have my blessings!
Oh, those are nice shoes! I assume they’re comfortable, too? They look like they would be. It’s gray and dreary here in NC today, raining. But I have to say I don’t mind as it could be snow elsewhere! We’ll get some early next year, I’m sure. That’s enough for me. I guess as far as getting out of my comfot zone, I’d say I have worn leggings out with shorter jackets this year–(not just tunics, etc) I’m not very big, so I shouldn’t be afraid to head out with such close-fitting legs, but I admit it was tough for me. I started out just when I go walking each day, and then ventured out into grocery stores. I doubt anyone else even noticed, but it was a big deal for me. Big maverick, right?! hahahaaaaa.
I LOVE an all black ensemble. So chic and easy to throw on if you’re in a hurry or just can’t bother to put an outfit together. I love the joggers and am glad to seem them down to your ankles. Unfortunately I see some women who aren’t sure how to style them and pull them up their calves.
I love this whole outfit, best one this year! Especially love those shoes. Looks great on you!
very nice look
love the outfit, but wondering about the pants. are they all day comfortable, or does the material make you sweat? i’m always concerned about faux leather, i’ve come to realize like all things there are difference and some a good and some, not so, but its hard to tell from a picture and short decription.
these faux leather joggers are very breathable so i didn’t feel suffocated when wearing them. i gave them a test run for dinner and a concert and they came through with flying colors.
