Get some white foam core from an art supply store. It comes in 20x30in, 32x40in, 40x60in, and 4x8ft. You can also order black foamcore in the same dimensions to use as large flags. Hold them in position with zipdisc holder boom arms and light stands.
A large white reflector camera right would fill in the shadows on the right side just enough to make this a much better photograph. Bringing up the shadows also improves the sensor's ability to capture detail within the shadows. The fill card would also give her hair some pop on the right side, which would add dimension.
Another way to achieve dimension would be to use a pair of strip style softboxes, one on each side. But dial them way, way, back, until they are just barely perceptible. The difference can be amazing.

This is an excellent composition. It looks nice in monochrome as well.
I only wish there were some way to achieve it without the listdisc showing in the sunglass catch lights. A larger reflector would have created catch lights that filled with eyeglass frames.
Could this have been done with an off camera flash at camera right that would have created a different kind of catch lights?
