WIW: Another Shannon copy. Does this work?

The outfit in question is #1. I need something to wear to teach then go to a water color class/pizza party. I was inspired by Shannon's burgundy skinnies, leopard top and white jacket. Does this look arty enough to hang out with painters? I had to use my silk leopard shirt and the collar and length could be a problem.
2. Is the outfit without the jacket although I plan to leave the jacket on. Is the shirt too long?
3/4: yesterday's holiday decorating class outfit. I thought it looked better in r/l. Sequined cardi and brown top with metallic thread are old. It got some admiration. Suggestions and your thoughts are most appreciated.

WIW: Shannon inspired and other recents

The light has not been good lately for photos. Here are a few of recent outfits.
1/2: what I'm wearing today inspired by one of Shannon's burgundy pant outfits with grey EF sweater. Mine is made up of H&M burgundy jeans and a 360 cashmere sweater from last year's NAS. The second photo is to show its assymetry. I'm wearing this today with Bare Trap booties.
3: inspired by Angie's wide trouser posts, these are an old pair of Target grey trousers, Nic&Zoe long cardi over a BR denim shirt, Born shooties, Target bag.
4/5: the photos don't show the dark colors well. Classiques Entiere fine tweedish pencil skirt in black and chocolate, Calson leather jacket from my first NAS, chocolate EF silk long sleeved tee, Me Too flats, Elliot Lucca clutch
6: New find is the cream moto jacket from Wilson's Leather outlet, consignment DVF silk skirt. Worn to church yesterday. The skirt is pull on and a bit big in the waist (rare for me!) I can wear it lower on the hip to make it longer or pull it up shorter and would like your thoughts about length on me. vThis jacket was only $29 on sale and I think I'll get lots of wear out of it. Shannon, I went in to buy leather protector and did get that too. I hope Wilson's may turn out to be my version of your Danier. Has anyone had experience with their quality?
6: bonus pet photo. Mags has bed head hair.
I welcome your opinions and suggestions.
ETA: photos 8/9 are facing the window as Amy suggested. You see the co.or better, especially in #9.

WIW: Wideband boot cut pants + Dressy shoe/clutch complement

I combined ideas of some of Angie's latest posts from my closet and would like your input.
1-3: These are thrifted Banana Repubic trousers that I dug out of the donation bag. They are a beautifully made lined lightweight wool with a really wide waist band and flared bottoms. They had only survived this long because they fit my rear end.
Belt is MK, pumps are MeToo, jacket is from Kat, tee from The Rack, DIY pearls, and clutch is Elliott Lucca or old taupe leather number.
4. Same outfit with Sam Edelman Petty booties in putty.
What do you think, especially of the trousers? Are they hopeless? Is it possible to wear them in a modern stylish way?

WIW: thanks to generous YLFabbers

1. These jeans are from dear Sandy. They have been such favorites that I save them for going out. Do the proportions of the outfit work here?
2/3. Kat posted the taupe jacket on the Exchange and I enjoyed pairing it with blush coated jeans and blush tee and bookending it with SE Pettys in putty.
I welcome your suggestions and comments as it enlightens me as to what is or is not working.
