Really nice. The only thing I may try to do, to see how it looks, is dodge some of the blues of her eyes to lighten them ever so slightly. I think it may add some more life to them and connect with her sweater a little more.

...too orange to my eye.

I can see the appeal, but that's not what her skin tones were...

you should gets your eyes/monitor checked. Use the eye dropper tool in ACR on the "whites" of her eyes for white balance.

The original white balance looks correct to me. The proposed change is way off into orange indeed.
 
lovely, did you take any with both eyes in focus?

i always feel i prefer that but maybe if i saw both here id disagree in this case

Thank you. I did not...was really interested in the shallow DOF and subtle color palette for this look...
