Saturday Summer Nights in Santa Fe mean strolling the world-famous Plaza as the sun sets, admiring the hand-tooled silver jewelry displayed by local Native American artisans.
Santa Fe Saturday Night also means dinner at a funky hangout like Cowgirl where the servers wear vintage Stetsons and ranch shirts tied tight beneath their bosoms. Yeah, Santa Fe style is quirky, desert bohemian.
Anything goes in Santa Fe. You can wear jeans, boots, and a cute tee to dinner just about anywhere. But the Canyon Road artists swirl through the Plaza with a look all-at-once elegant, stylish, fashion forward, unbelievably chic. You know the artists when you see them. They exude confidence and incredible flair.
What does the Santa Fe artist wear? Something just shy of urban, something luxe, fresh.
Try slipping into a earthy Martin Margiela Short Dress with spaghetti straps and a layered sheer skirt over a pair of Rachel Pally leggings in black.
Circle your waist with Linea Pella's Military Belt. It has two buckles and two parallel straps - so cute - plus a pouch to hold your credit card, driver's license, and a lip gloss. No bag required!
Heels are essential. You could wear black boots with this ensemble, but heels add a bit more elegant touch. Try Christian Louboutin platform sandals - the shiny black leather will compliment that patent leather belt.
Santa Fe nights are cool, even in the middle of summer. Carry a Karen Kane Cascade cashmere wrap. You can let it hang loose or tie the ends around your waist when the wind moves through the mountains.
Add a simple Saya Hibino black weave ring - you'll want to purchase silver goodies on the Plaza to complete your look!
Adios, amiga!
