My coworkers are trying to convince me that I should get this hairstyle with a similar hair color. It is quite a change but I do like it. I never thought to get something like it when I was heavier. I'm not sure if I could pull it off though. Please give me your thoughts!

I think you would look darling with the cut! Personally, though, I wouldn't opt for such a light color unless you are also going to have your eyebrows lightened (but that's just one of my pet peeves... I find it very distracting when women go blonde but have extremely dark eyebrows.... It just screams "I'm really a brunette!")

I think you would look totally cute with th hair cut. I agree that maybe you shouldn't go quite that light in hair color. Go a little lighter than you have now, then if you like that then you could go a little more lighter. Or just add some light highlights. If you do it, you must post new pictures!

The cut, yes. But not the color. You have a beautiful contrast with your hair and eyes and marvelous skin. Maybe a few highlights.

Beautiful cut. Ask your hairdresser to recommend the colour. Even some deep reds, coppery colours, etc. might be neat... The hairdresser can help the most! I think a blonde could work with you, but a white blonde, or a strawberry blonde, or a golden blonde.....so many shades SHE should help you decide!

Funny you ask. I just did this yesterday. I love it! You have strong bone structure and could totally pull it off. I agree with only going as far as some highlights if any color at all, though. And, you can always grow it if it doesn't work. Especially with all the vitamins (and biotin) we take.

I love the hair cut, not so much the color. hair looks fuller when it is darker so if you have lost any blond hair will make it worse. But I love the cut and think it will look adorable on you. :)
