@Ward217,
You're making pretty good progress. Changing the blue fabric to red was nice. The purple/red colors really read as dangerous. Where blue/purple can come off as more noble, I think is the general case.
Looking at your posts, I noticed you're working from a very rough drawing. I'm no great painter so in my experience, it REALLY helps to paint over a clearer drawing. No matter how many sketches and redrawing it takes; maybe posing in your mirror or webcam, etc. Any added time in drawing saves time in painting.
I really like the composition you've worked out, but my eye goes from the top left to bottom right where you've painted that boot. This is purely fashion preference, but I don't think it accents your design well in terms of color or shape. I'd like to see it match her scarf, or maybe black leather? But do what you feel is true to your vision.
Hope you find something useful in my crit, good progression so far,
R. Buber
