Do you have a new look planned for the new year?

I've seen quite a few people planning new hairstyles and the like for 2013, and thought it might be nice to have a thread where everyone can share their plans, and maybe later post some pics of their new looks!

For me, obviously my biggest change will hopefully be a stronger, leaner more defined body but I am planning a few other changes.

This will be my new hair colour (close enough anyway)

I have a new tattoo planned, the ship Serenity from Firefly, on my shoulder

And I'm thinking about getting my upper ears re pierced.

How about you- are you thinking about some new body art? A different style if dress? A boob job perhaps?

    Firefly rocks. I just hope the tattoo artist is decent.

    I've started wearing more camo stuff just cos I like the look and the older I get the less I give a **** about other people's opinions.

    That's a great color!! I'm planning on toning and leaning down a bit more. Hair and such are all the way I like them. I would love to get a tummy tuck, but I think that's another year down the road.
    Now I've been thinking about a tattoo and have a few ideas, but haven't thought of anything except an Eve Gallente T3 tattoo on my arm. T3 arms :) Now I would love to see who recognizes that when I'm weight lifting!! :)

    Not many women play that game!

    Anything related to Firefly gets automatic approval from me!

    This year my new look is jeans. Jeans and everything else without elastic waistbands (except my workout clothes).

    I didn't wear jeans for over two years. Closer to three. Didn't even own a pair. In fact I'm going to have to pick up a pair in the size I would have been at some point after I hit goal weight just so I can see the difference. But meanwhile, jeans jeans jeans!

    I might do temporary dyes in shades of red or even blonde just to play around with it. I like the 6 week ones, and I like the vegetable dyes even better.

    Well first we will see if I can find high boots that are the correct shade of taupe. If I can then the plan is to buy those and some tights to wear with the tunic length sweater that I have saved since 1992...I love that sweater. But boots and tights would definitely be a new look for me. A friend has issued a challenge and wants a whole group of us to turn up to an event this coming Wednesday wearing tights and boots. We are all in our 60's or 70's. Not sure if the world is ready for this. Will post picture later if we pull it off.

    I'm happy with my hair and all that. Leaner and more muscular for sure. Maybe down one more jean size. We'll see what the more muscular brings. I'd also like to get my leg sleeve/sock (tattoo) done and maybe get more done on the other one or the feet. Tattoos are always in order. :)

    I recently went for a slightly different hair colour just before my birthday 2 weeks ago and love it - its golden brown with ash and golden blonde highlights...but I am thinking of getting it cut into a shorter style.

    Other than that, I plan to transform my body into that of someone half my age with flat stomach and toned everywhere, lol!!

    I'm growing out my hair and going back to blonde. I've had short hair for almost 2 years now. It's just past my shoulders now. I'm gonna bust my tush to lose these last 10 lbs. Start lifting more. I would love to add some more ink to my sleeve. I have it at a quarter right now and I want to make it a half.

    Great to see some Firefly fans here!

    Looks like everyone has some fun ideas, the new year is such a good time to try something daring IMO

    As of today I've also decided to buy a whole bunch if crew neck t shirts, because I just found out they make my sad excuses for boobs look substantial lol!

    Also thanks to all who like my new planned colour, I'm excited about it!

    Firefly rocks!

    I just decided yesterday that WHEN I reach my goal this year, I am going to get a small tattoo. I've considered it before, but always decided against it. I've played too much this year and only lost about 12 pounds total. I figure rewarding myself with something that is not my usual will give me extra incentive to stay focused.

    I start student teaching at the end of January so I'm getting highlights!

    Also this is long-term but I'm trying to grow my hair long again. This was my hair before I went insane and cut it all off

    Right now I'm thinking a vine with flowers on the back of my left shoulder. Maybe about 5 or 6 inches long. Also considering a small vine on my foot near my big toe...but only if I decide to get 2. I like the thought of the vine symbolizing my growth as a person.

    That will be nice, I always thought vine tattoos were so pretty

    I'm hoping to grow my hair out again. I haven't had it long since I was 18 or so.
  • Once I get to a reasonable size I want to start dressing in a sort of retro / 50s inspired way. This is the style that I love! I just don't have enough confidence to dress like that. Love the hair and makeup too. Plus I don't want to buy vintage for the size I am now so will start buying "proper" clothes once I reach a healthy size. At least I can play with hair and makeup styles now and buy accessories!! x

    Plain girly I love the 50s look, girls who do it always look so well put together. I know there is a lot of great stuff online for that look

    I think that color will look amazing on you!

    I think I need something new for 2013 - this year has been the absolute pits for me, and the worst things have happened - I feel like I need a new start. And my 40th birthday is in March. But from what I understand, making any big change decisions when mourning and grieving is a really bad thing and can be a disaster. So maybe I can get some ideas for some small changes to make. I've had the same hair style for forever, I love the color I use now... and my tastes are so classic, it's silly. But I need something... so thanks for putting this out there! :)

    New Goals: Hit my 100lbs lost mark, lose more %BF, increase my distance running. Do the Tough Mudder and the Army 10 miler.

    New Hair:

    I had an asymetrical bob, and then whacked one side off to a pixie. It's now awkwardly growing back out, but I want to get something like this done.

    2676272_5408.jpg

    I want to keep my dark base and then have a white blonde highlight peeking through. I just have to get my one side long enough.

    Tattoo:

    I am getting my thumbprint on my right wrist, over the bone that's under the thumb on the underside, in white ink. It represents identity, something I feel strongly about. Plus, no one will have it ever, because it's my thumbprint and completely unique to me.

    And when I hit my goal weight I want to get two stylized feathers on my left foot, one in lime green ink and one in purple ink because I like feathers.

    Look:

    I'm getting into wearing less makeup. I used to cake it on, now I'm finding that I need less of it, which is ok by me. And bright lipstick. I used to be an eyeliner girl, but lipstick is growing on me.

    I thnk its time to try shorter hair - something about shoulder length and fun. I am terrified to try it, but have been considering it for a long time. My hubby will probably freak out but I need those extra 8 inches to go away!

    I am thinking of a more controlled look...a style tapered with clippers at the nape and on the sides, and the top is left longer but with layers and texturing throughout.

    I have been doing my hair the same way my whole life, and dressing mainly the same ever since I was about 8 years old (with a brief period in high school where I dressed all in black for two years). It's not about to change.
  • Yeah... I'm going for that whole "SHREDDED" look ;)
