These jeans feel very 80s to me, with the acid wash, and baggy leg. (They are Anine Bing but I can't track down a find). I am wearing them today in the first look with a little jacket, because I have a meeting.

However, I am not entirely satisfied with the outfit. I can't put my finger on why. I think it's because I am short waisted and these are definitely high rise jeans.

I thought they might look better with a cropped, chunky sweater (which is how I've worn them before) so I tried it to check again (this sweater so reminds me of ones I used to get from the LImited in Georgetown in the 80s). I liked it better (too bad my eyes are closed in the pic!) But I'm not sure why. Is it the position of waist? or weight of the top of the outfit?
