I also vote that the two sweaters are definitely worth keeping. The citron brings to mind bright, new-spring weather. The mustard makes me think of a bonfire in fall. Like Jules says, two different seasons and palettes.
As for the pockets, I would personally be bothered by them. At least on me, I think they would be distracting. I am very short, however, and so they might be more of an issue on me than on someone of regular height (not sure how tall you are). If you don't like them, the only thing I could suggest is to buy a pair of silk leggings in a white color and wear them underneath the pants. Hopefully that wouldn't be too warm.
From what I can see of the length of the jeans, it looks good! If you wear the jeans with flats, it might not look so good, but this is a very nice length for heels, imo.
