Self Portrait Sunday…I cut my hair AGAIN!

I’ve been back and forth in the last couple of weeks as to whether or not to cut my hair short.  I’ve been keeping the longest parts pulled back in a ponytail to get a feel for myself in short hair.  I liked it.  So I took the big leap and now I look like Victoria Beckham…or not.  My hair does and that’s got to count for something.  Well, it’s not EXACTLY the same, but it’s similar.  That was my inspiration (Thanks Svea for the vote of confidence…way back when I posted pictures of hypothetical haircuts on myself she voted for the Victoria Beckham look).

So here is what she looks like (then let’s all block out how lovely she is and focus on me, m’kay?)…

Alright.  Notice the nice angles of her hair?  The bang (mine is swept to the other side and it kind of separated from sleeping on it last night)…

Side view…

other side…

and a couple that I just thought turned out nice and I’m vain enough to post them, lol.

  10. Your hair looks great, super shiny:) So what’s next? Are you bringing in a photo of Sinead O’connor to your hair dresser:)!!! You keep getting shorter and shorter.

    Well, I love it, just wish I was as brave to take the plunge.

    And, while I’m here may I just thank you for your photos! You inspired me to try Picnik on my PC here at work (love it!), and to buy Photoshop Elements for use on my Macbook at home.

    Keep enjoying Life!

  16. I love it! This was my second choice haircut as well. You inspired me the first time, and now I’m thinking I might go for it, too. I’m not sure my thinning hair can handle a cut like that though.

  17. Fabulous! I wish my hair did that! To quote my grandmother, “If I had your hair and you had a feather up your butt, we’d both be tickled”.
