That is admittedly odd to be so well formed on the inside and so badly formed on the outside. My best guess is that because there are so many holes in the piece, it's doing a lot of starting and stopping. It is drawing each layer in many separate rectangles around the circle, starting and stopping each time on the outside side of the cup, and then the first line after starting a new segment is also on the outside, and is either over-extruding or under-extruding, not sure which; either one can make a mess of an otherwise straight line. By the time it gets around to the other side, on the inside surface of the cup, it's flowing well and looking much better.
If you have your slicer configuration set to draw outside perimeters first, then you would want to change it to print inside perimeters first. That helps keep problem areas on the inside layers and not on the surface (where in this case "outside" means anything on the surface
For any more enlightenment, we'll need to see the slicer configuration file, if you can post it. Possibly retraction settings are at fault, maybe acceleration, but it's hard to say. I wouldn't call it "misaligned", as all the layers appear to be in more or less the right place, just very messy.
