Description I saw a lady at the market today.
It was a summer day, the market was beautiful. I managed to score a bismuth ring. 
Beauty was surrounding me, all of those vintage items and people were selling it for way less than it would be worth to me.
Of course, at a vintage market like that you'll find a lot of- well, old people.
So the market laid full of grey treasure from time that had passed, and around the stands were people. Grey and old and from a time that had passed.
But then there was a girl.
A girl in a yellow-orange-red-pink-and all warm colors sundress, with a gorgeous hairdo and a dark skin to contrast the bright colors.
And with her she was carrying a large bright blue bag.
I wondered what she kept in it. Had she found her treasure here?
Had she found something so beautiful that just looking at it would be enough for a flow of inspiration?
Because I had.

You get a free critique as part of entering the contest, if you're not interested in a critique, then simply ignore this next bit!

The blending is a little rough (almost kind of like stained glass), but I like the effect it gives this piece. I think a few more bits of contrasting items would've helped as well. Like the charm on the necklace should almost pop as long as the skirt. Maybe add some simple bangles, or white flip flops.

But that might take things over that unknowable like of one sequin too many. Still, the lines are rough, and the clothing is simple, but the piece is very pleasing. You certainly nailed the view of the face too, the 4/5th profile can be a bit tricky to pull off with how much or how little second eye to show and you did it without creating any kind of wonkyness.
