Absolutely! (will work, that is - not the stupid part...
).
The whole piece seems to be a study in complimentary colors of blue & orange. The burnt orange in the shirt will add a lot of depth, especially if you scumble over it with different shades of blue.
In the smidgen of reference photo that we can see - you've got the exact opposite effect on the top of her hair - that beautiful blue refected light will perfectly mirror what you've got going on in her shirt.
This is a natural progression for your beautiful drawing style.
