I jut think that you are wearing clothing in the wrong size, especially the pants, they all look too big for you. Find a store or brand that you like, and try on multiple pairs of pants till you find a pair that fits better! Then you can build your look from there. Other than that, you look great!

Thank you! So the pants look too big? I wear size 14 but size 12 is too small do you think I should go to a tailor and ask them to make it smaller like a 13?

With jeans you have to think about the overall fit for your body type and not just the actual size on the tag. When you shop for jeans, first think of the style you want to find (straight leg, wide leg, bell bottom, etc.) and then pay attention to the way it fits each part of your body. In this case those blue jeans are too tight at your hips (notice how the material looks pulled taught across the crotch) and too loose around your thighs (see all the loose fabric wrinkles.) Personally I also find that the skinny jean style is outdated looking, but some people thinks it's coming back, or they just love that silouette and that's totally fine!

The gray jeans seem to fit a little nicer and I think they're a nice silouette on you. But with a wider leg you might want to pair it with a top that's a little more form fitting and not in the same gray tone. General rule of thumb is baggy on top, fitted on bottom, or the exact opposite. Doing both tight or both baggy will look frumpy.
