Today the Santana mom jeans bought at Costco 2 weeks ago were ready from their alterations, and here they are!

I had them shortened and the leg tapered. The cost was minimal. I am very happy.

These come up very high on the waist. I realize I have no proper belt for them, as all my belts are too wide, being fitted for lower rises. I'll have to have more holes poked.

Here are some ways I have styled the mom jeans. Please tell me what you think, which one(s) you prefer.

1- With a flowey silk blouse and black sandals;
2- With taupe Steve Maden booties and a boho blouse;
3- With the same blouse, boho necklace and heeled Unisa sandals I had resoled (makes a huge difference for comfort);
4- With the Ara sandals (which I am still not sure if I will keep), a lace white top from Talbots and a short sleeves trapeze jacket (thrifted);
5- With Ara sandals, white crepe-de-chine front top, a cotton jacket and cheap but effective jewelley.
6- 1950 power. rolled, loafers, headband, tucked polo... one this, I heard from younger colleagues that apparently the brand Tommy Hilfiger was supposed to be "preppy snob". Meaning that tops had to show the little TH logo. Have you heard of this? I get mine at Costco.

Thanks for looking.
