How can I remake this portrait? Be specific please!

From my knowledge I would probably just take two picture of myself looking different locations, maybe drop the opacity to 50% or switch them both to screen.
Then I would probably desaturation and use the color balance to add light blue to the highlights. (I am not sure about the mids and darks.)

And for the background I would probably just use the color picker and grab the lightest color on my right shoulder so it looks like my shoulder is fading in to the background. I would also throw a vignette at the top.
And maybe toss some blurr on the pictures and definitely add some grain.

Does that seem like it would do the trick? If I were to attempt this, what would I be doing wrong?
