I prefer the "NEW ME" because it looks more "adult." You also look taller and thinner compared to "OLD ME."
On "OLD ME," leggings are casual while any type of pant implies a little more intentionality. Personally, I'm considering transitioning to pants versus jeans for daily wear because EVERYONE wears jeans. There is no thought put into it. Even wearing sweatpants (no elastic on the ankles, please) with a stripe down the side would give casual vibes but look dressier than leggings. Plus, it eliminates the probability of camel toe, jiggling, or transparency (sometimes those leggings are not as opaque as the wearer thinks).
While the t-shirt is worn to hide a "multitude of sins," because it doesn't flow over the body, it actually does more harm than good. It also doesn't take many launderings for a black t-shirt to lose its luster. I wonder if a more flowy or silky shirt here would have been more flattering.
Also, never underestimate the power of well-fitting and/or pretty undergarments!
