Greetings from the Critique Club!
The bokeh here is indeed very pretty, and the comp is OK - I like that she is looking to the left and you've given her the room to do so - but this image finished where it did for a reason. It's a snapshot of a mannequin in a store. Camera shake is evident, and choosing to shoot wide open at a very slow shutter speed, with even a fast lens will not help.
Ryan, I feel it's time that you stepped out of your comfort zone in all senses of the word. You need to learn your camera, your glass's capabilities, learn a lot more about composition, play around with angles, and pay a whole lot more attention to a challenge description if you want to do well on this site.
As always, feel free to PM me.
Susan
