My ultimate goal is to be strictly a fashion photographer, would love any constructive criticism on these two images from a (kind of) recent shoot

For model portfolio pictures they're nice, but I wouldn't call them "fashion" (as the main purpose of fashion photography is selling the clothes). In the first picture my eye is drawn straight to her knee at the bottom left; it's almost the same size as her head (probably due to lens distortion and distance from the model) and oddly doesn't seem to have shadows where it should -- was there a reflector right underneath her? I would also like to see limbs / appendages that aren't cut off in this case I would have sacrificed some of the space above her head in order to get her feet in the frame.

Other than that, they're nice portraits.

thank you for your feedback! the reflector was just out of frame underneath her. Thank you for your feedback! It really helps!

Very nice portraits, and yes not sure i would put them in fashion, but I dont think your far off :-)
Well done.
love the last photo :-)

thank you for your CC, need to do some investigating on how i can get more fashion and less portrait lol. thanks again!

I looked through your photos (nice work :) ) and the shot of this same model on the pink background with the white shirt is definitely what I would call fashion. With her neutral expression and posing, the eye is drawn to the details of the clothing, and her body position is showing it off nicely. In your other photos, the focus is definitely on the model - whether because of some indefinable aspect of expression or angle, or because of posing and lighting. Looking through magazines at ads and editorials and, honestly? online retailers like Nordstrom will help with defining what is a "fashion" image vs. a "portrait" (even though there is a lot of crossover).

Agree with you fully Sennia, you said it.
