I really enjoy the feel of this outfit, and I like what you were going for. However...
The leggings have absolutely no texture to them. Having a more intricate pattern does not substitute for shading, highlighting and adding depth and realism to the product.
The jacket is WAY too bright. It's obnoxious and it doesn't match the yellows of the pants (neither, for that matter, do the shoes). And the brightness is making the texture on the jacket seem unrealistic.
The necklace also doesn't match, and just, in general, feels like it was just thrown in there because it's yellow. I feel you could easily have gotten a bit more creative and thoughtful with how you accessorized this.
The top is also causing a really weird glitch between the breasts? I'm not going to dock for this, just because it would mean failing your entire outfit, which seems unfair. But look out for little details like that in the future.

Matching the entire outfit in the yellow of the flowers didn't look good, because the main color of the tights is this weird pastel-ish white/green of the background, olive clothes looked too intense also (the olive of the leaves on the tights) so I thought choosing a whit-ish yellow would fit better. As for the tights, well, they have a nice pattern and they are not blurry at all so.. I guess that was enough for me ^^'' But, I'm definitely not the best judge for quality so thanks for the advice, I'll keep it in mind

The quality isn't just about the pattern, though. The thing that makes the clothes look properly like they're being worn - that makes them more realistic - is that areas are made darker where the body would naturally be shadowed, and lighter where the body would naturally catch light. There are creases in places where the fabric commonly folds, like the back of the knees, or around the groin region. Most clothing also, generally, has hemming at the top as well as around the ankles, where the fabric was stitched together to form a more solid bind, and help prevent the clothing from fraying and/or tearing to quickly/easily.
When these details are missing, they give the product a less realistic look, because it leaves it looking more 2-dimensional. Unfortunately, these pants have virtually NO shading to them - just a bit on the inner and outer sides of the legs. They also have absolutely no highlighting in any of the proper regions (typically places where the body curves outward, such as the front of the thighs and top of the butt). There is no creasework, and there is no hemwork, which, with a skintight mesh, like this, makes it look more like her legs just suddenly stop being skin-colored and turned into flowers.
Having these more 2-dimensional details is part of what determines what is and isn't a good product. Otherwise, anyone could slap plaid on a mesh and call it a day. But it's not quite that simple.

I really like the model in this submission! I agree with Sin about the pants, though. Two different shades of yellow can work well together, but I think they would have to be a little closer than they are right now. The jacket is just too bright and pastel while the necklace is vibrant with some darker shading. I do like how well the jacket and shoes match, though.
Of course, my biggest concern is really just the pants. But I'm sure that the resub will be even better.

I don't mind the pants. Most leggings on imvu don't have that much texture. Leggings in real life don't always have those creases as regular pants do. The pants could be worse. I think the top should be replaced to try and match the pants more. I think the quality of the top is worse than the pants. These pants are cute and I think they could be pulled off with a different top.
