WIW Pink and exhausted week + K/R Gap Plaid Jeans

Apologies in advance for my sporadic attendance lately. I'm finishing up a big proposal at work and 10+ hours a day is wearing me out. I pop in when I can, but rarely have much time for comment. The end is in sight as it's due this week.
Managed to get a few pics (not everyday and mostly on the fly hence the goofy expressions) For October I decided to try pink (work week 2-6), which I found lacking in my wardrobe. I have mostly dark bright pinks, but am looking to add more blush as I really like it.
If you are still reading (wow!) feel free to skip to the end for the K/R question.
1. Last weekend 1st outing of skinnies (Cult of Individuality) and boots (Nine West - sadly have fallen apart - repair or replace?), Blouse Calvin Klein (maybe too long for this sweater?), Sweater LE Canvas
2. Nexx blouse, Kenneth Cole sort of slouchy pants, MK silver belt, Kenar faux leather and ponte mix jacket, Doc Martens Danielle (silver pattern all over)
3. Felt cuter than it looks here - Pants Vince Camuto, Thyme denim blouse, LE Canvas Fair Isle cardi, DV blue suede loafers (I think heels would have been better and more flattering, but my navy pumps have bit the dust and the new nude ones I bought are not all day comfy)
4. BR blouse, Esprit argyle sweater, Hong Kong Pearls (gift), J Crew skirt, fishnets, Clarks pumps
5. Halogen skirt, Lord & Taylor tee, Willow & Clay jacket, Lauren necklace, Dr Scholls suede booties (hard to see in photo)
6. Casual Saturday - J Crew matchsticks(1 size up), Calvin Klein copper metallic blouse, esprit sweater, MK belt, Doc Martens Aletta
7. I was intrigued by the Gap plaid Always Skinnies. I haven't fully styled these and I'm not sure I can pull off this look at my age and body type? I tried a little Angie inspired topper (Vintage lace top, LL Bean blouse - I think too long on the blouse?), Zodiac patent booties. I think I would wear these more with a solid longer turtleneck sweater and maybe taller boots?
8-9. Added photo bomber outtakes for Deborah
Thanks for looking, Help me decide on the plaid pants. Keep or Return?

I love #2 that blush pink is a fabulous colour on you. And from what I can see of them the new plaid skinnies look great too. They're a versatile colour for you - are they comfortable?

I think the plaid skinnies look great on you! I also think your 6 is good. The purple skirt is lovely too.

Love 2 and 5; 8 and 9! I saw that purple skirt aon sale at the Rack and am now wondering if it is still there. I already have a more bluish purple version of it.
The blush blouse is lovely with black.

I ended up getting the plaid jeans myself. They look awesome with your long legs.

Sorry to hear that things have been a bear at work, lately. You still manage to look terrific. I love 2 and 5 the best, and your outtakes are precious : ). You are rockin' those plaid jeans!

I hope you were able to relax over the weekend after your hectic week

I just LOVE #2 and the way your daughter tagged along. Wow! K-word worthy. That silver belt makes the outfit.

#1, #5, #6 and #7 are equally delightful! I would wear #7 in a heartbeat, so those checked pants get a big thumbs up from me. Try that combination over a skirt too.

I hereby crown you Queen Preppy.

Fainting! I have an official Queen title!! Thank you so much Angie! I will try that outfit again with better hair and expression and a skirt. A pencil I suppose? I did have to work (from home) most of yesterday morning, but am free today. We're off to get some pumpkins!
Miss Vee the jeans are quite comfy (they have stretch) and after I got past feeling like a Bay City Roller I thought of tons of ways to wear them. Even though DH liked them he felt a bit Christmassy but I think as long as I don't add jingle bell shoes and a light up reindeer sweater I should be ok right?

Joy go get that skirt, also the online ones keep popping up at $24.95 from time to time (had 2 in my cart last night, but gone this morning - not that I really need more) in lots of different blues and pinks (they disappear overnight unless you buy)

Citygirl I'll remember not to wear mine for our next meetup just in case

I can't wait to see the outfit with a pencil skirt

I also hereby crown you Queen Leopard Print, Princess Magpie, Queen Funky Plaid Shorts, and Queen Strawberry Blonde Locks.

i love almost all of them specially 5 and 2 but ummm the number 3 you should skip the sweater or idk what it is and number 4 to preppy for my taste maybe a good pair of trouser will do it overall you look amazing!

My favorites are #1, #2, and #4. You sure look great, and your combos are inspired! I love how happy you look too. You're never fully dressed without a smile, after all. Thanks for sharing these.

I'm so in love with #2 it's crazy!

I hope you've had a chance to rest up a bit, Jeanne. Being exhausted sure didn't keep you from looking fabulous, though.
Like the others here, I love #2. You look really pretty in that shade of pink, and you should wear it more often! I think you would great in blush shades, too, like Angie's leather jacket.
I also LOVE #5! That jacket looks great on you, and the striped tee and purple skirt are great with it.

I vote KEEP on the plaid pants. You've got the long slim legs to pull it off.

Adorable little photo bomber, too!

My favorites are #1 and #7. Keep the plaid skinnies.
