Help for video: yellow skirt choices ETA blue and purple skirt options

Joy

Yesterday I asked for help with what to wear for a video taping today and got wonderful feedback. Here are some quick ideas involving the yellow raisin pencil skirt. I am using a variety of footwear,toppers and tops, etc. please, what looks best to you? I also have the same skirt in dove grey, dark blue and dark purple as well as coral and turquoise. ETA an outfit with the dark blue skirt and orange blazer that I wore last spring. Your help is MUCH appreciated! These were put together very quickly without having done hair or makeup.
ETA: I'm thinking of the 9th outfit shown with purple skirt and orange blazer. Is this too wild?
ETA: #10 (last) is what I ended up wearing with the photographer's help.

Oh, Joy - how did this get missed? Yikes!!

First, you look beautiful in all of these.

Second, I absolutely LOVE your final one and hope you did choose it!! Classic, but full of fun and zing - it puts me in mind of Mary K. And I think preschool teachers should have fun with colour. That's what appeals to kids!!

All of these are great, but of the others, for this purpose I also like #3 quite a lot, although the pale jacket could read washed out - and we don't know if you will be seen full length all the time.

You look wonderful and I hope you have fun!!

You look lovely! My favorite is is 8, closely followed by 9, 1/2, and 6, although I think I would like 6 even more with the blue skirt. I have absolutely no experience with what looks good on camera though, so take my opinion for what it's worth. Have fun!

#8 or #9. Killer. xo

Another vote for #8. Great colors for taping, and very believable for the role.

One more vote for 8. My 2nd favorite is no 1 I like the color combination and the softness of the blouse's neckline plus the eye-catching belt. You look fab!

Oh, you did it and I particularly love the second to last one best followed by the last one. The orange and blue are a beautiful combination on you.

I like 4 (although I think I'd prefer lighter shoes with it) and 8. The orange blazer is wonderful.

I would avoid wearing white for videotaping for a couple of reasons but mainly because it's very stark and causes camera problems, esp. if you are wearing the high contrast of the white against the blue jacket. You'll note on TV that most news people wear blue, lavender etc. If they are taping you against a blue or green screen, then avoid those hues as you can "drop out" (there's a scene like this in the most recent Anchorman, which I only saw as a movie trailer). The coral would be perfect. (I used to work for a university PR unit and we always recommended against pure white during video sessions....)

I like #8 the best!

Love them all, but I think 9 is the perfect choice.

Thank you all for helping me sort this out. I went with 9 but added a scarf and it instantly felt more like me. I could remove the scarf and also took other possible pieces. The photographer liked what I had on with the scarf best, so that's what we did.
Here is a picture of the outfit:

Thank you, Suz and Carter. I will be anxiously awaiting seeing the finished product.

Carter, it was fun. Everyone was so nice. A little second grader playing a preschooler was best of all.

Wow! What versatile and fabulous pieces... These are all great but live the outfit you wore. 8 and 9 were stellar as well.
