> Her clothes screamed bohemia, with a prominent cleavage, leather bands running up her arms and nails painted black.

In my book there is a romance between two 15-year-olds, and the book is from one of those 15-year-olds' perspective. Here, he describes his romantic interest's clothing style with the above sentence.

Now, this is a mild sexualization of the girl, due to the addition of "prominent cleavage". The reason I added this was to illustrate what kind of person this girl is, and also give some reasoning to the guy's infatuation with her. I'm just wondering, is this kind of description acceptable? I'm simply using it to paint a picture of the girl's "edgy" personality, not to appeal to sickos. The book is after all targeted to millenials and teens.
