Without further a ... 'do


First, I'm aware that a self portrait is always awkward.

Second, I'm still not sure about this darker 'do, but it is growing on me.

Third, I'm not keen on the (LAYERED!) haircut. I feel like I should join Ace of Base and sport a pager.

Fourth, I've realized the best haircut is losing 20 pounds.

Fifth, your honest comments are welcome. (Hint. Hint.)

are you kidding?? it's adorable. the darker color makes your eyes really stand out and i love the layers--i think they slim down your face---not that it needs to be slimmed down but sometimes the bulk in hair adds bulk to our faces, too. no pager needed.

Angy said...

tara said...

it really is cute, but I know how you feel. When it's not what you're used to it's, well... hard to get used to. I need to loose 20 pounds myself (: I'll send you our recent (sweaty) family picture. It'll make you feel better.

seriously cute. you always look so good in your self portraits. and the ones other people take, too. i can't imagine going dark after being blonde my whole life, but i have considered red so that i'd match my kids. :)

Mary said...

I do love it ... and not just because I am your mother. The way you were talking I was expecting the color to be more Wednesday Addams. Lovely, lovely, lovely.

It is really a great haircut on you--it's doesn't look too dark, but a great caramel color for fall!

Jessi said...

Cute and sassy. You are gorgeous. OWN IT!

P Daddy said...

Too cute to be believable as my kin, but I'm still claiming you and attributing the good looks to your mother and siblings. I think the cut and color look great, but, as you know, I am much less fussy about hair these days. Love you and oh so proud!

Josie said...

M-Ware said...

third. it looks great, honest.

Joey and Megan said...

Should I say I hate it cuz everyone else said they love it? Just kidding. I really love it. Course I don't even know you or what you "normally" look like, but I say very cute.

The Queen said...

cuuuuute!!

Leisha Mareth said...

Adorable! Love the swoopy bangs.... I spent 2 hours in the salon yesterday getting all of my hair chopped off and turning honey blonde.....Shorter hair with layers makes the world go round in my opinion!

Hey, I saw your comment on CJane's blog. I live just across the border in Wisconsin and was planning on doing something small with my daughter for Nie Nie and Christian- maybe a couple of balloons. What are you planning , when, and where? You can email me at dcavw@hotmail.com. I tried to email you but it didn't go through.

perfection. i was expecting super dark--it's just that nice rich goldeny brown. and the cut is not ace of base (laughing writing this with "all that you want" running through my head) but maybe "ace of the race to have the loveliest face." and you won!

you could shave your head and leave one tiny duck tail at the back and you'd still be gorgeous (plus you'd start a shaved head with ducktail craze).

dude, i love the bangs.

your hair always looks good (barring any kind of effort to make your hair look like my african american son's like you did in 1999.)

love you. love your butt.

Mindy said...

ooooh, i just did the same thing. mine, too, is layered. otherwise i look like a triangle-headed thing from a slight distance.
it looks good. leave it.

Colleen said...

I think it's cute! And I'm nothing if not honest.
