This is a fun, easy and inexpensive look to put together if you've got your eye out for the right pieces or you may already have them in your closet. Nothing says southwest and Santa Fe-style better than leather and lace.
Have a little black lace dress? I picked this one up at a yard sale for less than one dollar! It may be vintage, I think it is but I am not sure. I would recommend just any little black dress (which can certainly be done) but the full lace on this one really gives it that saloon-girl feel once the leather jacket is added and a fringe leather jacket is a must.
This one is vintage and I picked it up a while back for a mere fifteen dollars and it is in perfect condition.
Add a pair of black western boots and you're set. Mine just happened to have red roses on them so I accented it all with red jewelry. You could also do this set in any color scheme but the black really gives it that stand-out look. These boots were a giveaway and already broken in for that edgy look (which I love) and I didn't have to do the work!
It is so easy to put a show-stopping Santa Fe-styled outfit together for only a fraction of the cost of retail if you keep that eye peeled for those pre-owned unique pieces. Most of us cannot afford to shop Canyon Road or some of the high-end boutiques online that carry these type of pieces but we can put them together ourselves and create the looks that let us step out in Santa Fe-style.
Have fun and happy styling.
