Part of the fun for me is the challenge of taking everyday garments and giving them that southwest, Santa Fe, look and appeal. When I was publishing Southwest Flair, I did a "southwest challenge" where photographers and models from other regions and countries submitted photos of their "southwest" looks.
In this scenario, I have used a pair of Larry Levine casual-wear pants and a couple of different tops to demonstrate different looks.
In the first example set, I added a camisole top in similar beige tones along with a pair of black western boots with similar colors as the pants and several pieces of boho and southwest jewelry from my line: a tiger's eye spirit necklace, a boho spirit necklace and a gemstone choker in the same shades as the pants. All jewelry available in my shop.
In the second example set, I switched to a fancy vintage sequined vest that really dresses up the pants. Included the same boho spirit necklace as above, then added one of my cowhide sling bags and a pair of snugly fall/winter boots. Dressy yet comfortable in Santa Fe-style.
You may use these ideas or as a springboard for your own unique style. Have fun styling and experiment with everyday wear to see how you can add some Santa Fe-style to any look.
Pants and Vest fashion set available from me on Etsy. Includes bad and bo ho spirit necklace.
Happy styling!
