WIW: plus PPL question & should I ditch the pants?

This is what I wore to the doctor yesterday. I had these pants hemmed to PPL with flats & if you see the side view they are just off the floor, but at the front they have a break that looks like they are too long & when I took them off they were dirty on the bottom so obviously they were not always off the ground. Furthermore my weight changes daily, enough to affect pant lengths. Perhaps this is why I mostly wear skinny jeans, despite the fact that I have fit issues in the top half. I just cover the muffin.

Should I get rid of these pants? Do they make me look short legged? Do they fit? Am I correct that they are PPL?

Also which jacket looks better? I chose the lighter one because I think legs look longer & the darker one would have rubbed dye onto my light colored bag. I think the darker one looked better though. Can anyone tell me why it looks better? Thanks ladies. I am new here & learning how to look fab:)

I think the pants look too big but hard to tell from the photo. I like the darker jacket because the length is better imo.

Hmm so do you think the pants would look much better if they fit? I mean I fluctuate when I eat something that bloats me or before my period so they will fit better on other days but if they are just a bad style for me in that they should've been hemmed for heels to avoid stubbiness then I will get rid of them. They are a casual pant IMO, cotton twill, so I hemmed them for flats rather the heels. And I can't wear heels as often so...

I have the same issues with PPL. I think that the fit is good but a little long, maybe try hemming them by 1/2 inch or wear with just a little heel.

I prefer the denim jacket.

I prefer the dark jacket with that particular top and the pants, to rein its fullness in a bit, but the denim jacket looks good with the top, too - would work with skinnies, I think.

The pants look fine to me from what I can tell. White pants are so difficult. The one thing that would bug me (personally ) about these is that the front pockets are visible. A lot of people just cut those out.

The more I look at it the more I think it is not my persona. I didn't want to wear jeans because it was too hot & I didn't have anything else appropriate to go to the doctor in, due to my purging.
