I cut my hair off. Come look...
So here are my befores:
This is how I always looked... always. I pulled my hair up 92% of the time.
This one is three years ago and it is how I had my hair for about 7 years before that too.
In this one I had just donated a foot of my hair. But it was the same Martia Brady look I had before... just shorter.
This is how I had it cut early last fall. I liked it, but it was always in my face and I ended up just keeping it up all the time. It was exactly what I had done with the last two hair cuts, and I just needed something different... I mean really different.
And this my friends is now. WOW... what a change. I like it... but I haven't had it this short before ever. I cut my hair off once in highschool at my sisters behest and HATED it... so this was a big deal for me. I am still feeling a bit fragle today about it... but I think it looks ok.
Please excuse the double chin. I was looking down at Cyan. lol...

Wow! You look so different than you did when it was really long. It looks fresh and a little funky - perfect for the new you! I hope you get over feeling fragile and decide you love it.

It looks AWESOME! Very courageous of you. Double-chin? LOL. I was studying all those photos trying to see one. Whatever. Fantastic.
You're beautiful!

I do have a completely new look too Kimberly. I spent about $200 between Goodwill, Old Navy, Rave and my hair. I felt a little strange about it, but I am loving the results SO much that I am sure in a month I will feel great about the whole thing! We have it... why not feel good and look good right? I am no longer the jeans and tee girl. I have also fallen in love with these:
They look SO great! They are hip flattering, I can layer 4 layers over them and they don't make my waist look thicker, and the BEST part about them is that I can fold down the top when I am warm, but when I am cold I fold it up and have a whole other layer around my mid section. I love them!
Val!! I love it! I went short a couple years ago and I may never look back. I am so happy you went for it. And the new clothes, that is awesome. I am going through the same! Feels so good.
Anyway, we should chat AND get together!!!
