So I am down almost 21 lbs now and decided to redo my look a little. So last night I went and had an inch cut off my hair, its still a good 4 inches below the shoulders though, had it framed to my face and i have BANGS! I haven't had bangs in almost a decade. My natural hair color is a very light strawberry blonde so last night I dyed it a super dark red...like Debra Messing. When I got up this morning I pulled part of it back into a "poof" created by a "Bump It" and actually curled it....something I never do. I then put on my knee high black boots (which I haven't been able to fit into in a year but can now!), a fitted knee length black and pink shirt and a black business top and headed out the door. I went to Starbucks and the place went silent and people just stared....then it happened again on the light rail heading to work....and now my office is doing it. I don't know if this is a good thing or not but its freaking me out...I'm used to being invisible....I hope my hair doesnt look like crap or something. :noway: :blushing:

    thanks I hope thats the case....my fiance is currently living out of state so he and the rest of my family havent seen the new me yet....they will on webcam tonight. hope he likes it!:ohwell: very nervous. but i think the important thing is that I feel pretty. And I am down to the size I was in high school and enjoying being able to wear form fitted clothes again. I also think the contrast between my fair skin and dark hair is pretty. I even learned how to do the smoky eye look so I am trying that out today too.

    Maybe step in the bathroom and do a quick turn around and make sure your skirt isn't caught in your hose or your hair isn't orange with blue in the back or something. If all looks in order, enjoy the results of your hard work and your new-found attention! :flowerforyou:
