It's really good, and I love how dark colors in the facial area (hair, lips, eyes) really add some contrast to the bright, airy parts of the HA. However, I think maybe you should make the skin a little lighter and add some of the light yellow color from the bracelets to the feet/ankle area.

Yeah, I agree with the yellow on the ankles, I just wasn't sure what to put there. I considered the double anklets underneath the first layer of tights, but it just looked off putting to me. I'm always worried about things looking too cluttered, and I felt like the top half was extremely busy so I was worried to make the bottom busy, as well.

The bracelets should probably be layered under the skirt as to not have that odd part on the side. I like how the greens aren't fully matching -- it gives a sort of 'cooling' feeling. The hair layering is very nice, too!

OH SHIT I didn't even notice the bracelets, ugh, and now that I see it I can't stop staring at them and it's driving me nuts - thanks for pointing it out!
